Listen "The Triangle!"
Episode Synopsis
YolanDa Brown is joined by the LPO’s Principal Percussionist Andy Barclay to find out everything she can about a very famous instrument – the triangle. It may conjure up memories of school music lessons or the theme from the Pink Panther but the triangle also has an illustrious history and is used widely in all forms of music from pop to classical. It's also remarkably difficult to play (well) and in this episode YolanDa and Andy immerse themselves in all things triangle: from tings vs jangles, to triangle mishaps, the difficulties in hearing all the glorious high frequencies, and that famous Pink Panther theme tune.
