Today’s GCSE results reveal that music has one of the highest increases in uptake, of any subject in 2025.

More than 38,000 students took GCSE music in 2025, an increase of 6.1% compared to 2024, when there was an 8.7% growth in entries compared to the previous year.

Director of the OCR exam board, Miles McGinley, coined the increase as a ‘post covid comeback’ and Chief Executive of the Independent Society of Musicians, Deborah Annetts, welcomed the ‘modest rise’ in entries.

Despite this continued increase, figures show there are still 13,000 fewer entries since the launch of EBacc in 2010.

Frederick Delius on the function of music. ❤️

Delius’ life was a battle – he fought his parents to be a musician and was neglected in his adoptive France, but against all the odds, he became one of England's greatest composers.

After contracting syphilis in his later life, Delius became paralysed and blind, but continued to compose with the aid of a scribe, Eric Fenby.

Listen to Composer Carousel tonight at 9pm as John Brunning explores Delius’ music and life: https://www.globalplayer.com/live/classicfm/uk/

When it comes to funeral music, you might expect to hear the classics: ‘Ave Maria’ or ‘Time to Say Goodbye’.

But according to Co-op Funeralcare’s annual report, this year’s list of top funeral songs includes a surprise entry: the iconic theme from ‘Jaws’. 🦈

The two-note shark motif from John Williams’ 1975 score has made a splash as one of the UK’s most unusual choices for the final farewell.

In 1994, Sir Karl Jenkins, who is one of the most performed living composers in the world, was commissioned by Delta Airlines to write a song for their new television advert. The song was also used in some Delta in-flight videos. ✈️

Later that year, Jenkins developed the piece into a full-blown choral work, and in 1995 it was officially released on the album Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary with vocalists Miriam Stockley and Mary Carewe.

Listen to Composer Carousel tonight at 9pm to enjoy an hour of Jenkins’ music: https://www.globalplayer.com/live/classicfm/uk/
