''Friday Night is Music Night'' is a long-running live BBC radio concert programme featuring the BBC Concert Orchestra, broadcast most Fridays on BBC Radio 2 at 8.00pm. It is the world's longest-running live orchestral music radio programme.〔"(Friday Night is Music Night )" at bbc.co.uk〕 The programme regularly features many types of music from classical music, light music, film music, theatre music, songs from the musicals, opera and operetta. It is also notable for its arrangements of popular standards swing, jazz, and folksongs. One of its biggest appeals is its unpredictable playlist, which is left unrevealed until broadcast. The programme usually features guest artistes between the orchestral pieces, who sing with full orchestral accompaniment. Occasionally, artistes such as Donny Osmond and Alanis Morissette perform in the larger venues. The programme also showpieces certain sections of the orchestra and features guest instrumentalists, for example the BBC Big Band. ==Format== ''Friday Night is Music Night'' traditionally begins with the orchestra playing the first bars of an adapted version of Charles Williams's ''High Adventure''. After the fanfare, the compère (today usually Ken Bruce, Aled Jones, Paul Gambaccini, Clare Teal or Russell Davies, but formerly Richard Baker, Jimmy Kingsbury, Robin Boyle, or Brian Kay) gives a summary of the programme, before reciting the slogan of the title. This happens again at the close of the programme, with the announcer usually ending on "I hope that once again we have proved that Friday Night ''is'' Music Night" It is broadcast live from many theatres and concert halls throughout the UK, although regularly from the Mermaid Theatre in London or the Watford Colosseum, or the Hackney Empire. The show is not recorded live every week, but instead previous shows are repeated later in the year when the orchestra is on tour. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friday Night is Music Night」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
