SUN .......... 21:40 Sunday Feature SUN .......... Yiddish: A Struggle for Survival SUN .......... SUN .......... Dennis Marks sets out to discover what has become of SUN .......... Yiddish, a language which at its height is estimated to SUN .......... have been spoken by more than ten million people. He SUN .......... travels to New York and hears from the publisher of The SUN .......... Forward, once the world's most popular Yiddish newspaper SUN .......... but now in seemingly terminal decline. And he explores the SUN .......... enormous influence of Yiddish culture on American life, SUN .......... its literature and comedic tradition. SUN .......... SUN .......... 22:25 Words and Music SUN .......... Winter SUN .......... SUN .......... This week’s Words and Music is devoted to the season Emily SUN .......... Dickinson described as the time when the sky is low and SUN .......... the clouds are mean: winter. Winter in the countryside is SUN .......... celebrated in Wordsworth’s ‘The Prelude’ when, as a child, SUN .......... he and his friends skated along the ice, flying through SUN .......... the cold in the darkness. With this you’ll hear Peter SUN .......... Maxwell Davies’ ‘At the lochan’ from his ‘Seven Songs SUN .......... Home’, the series of songs which tell the story of SUN .......... children in the Orkneys making their way home from school SUN .......... on a winter’s afternoon. Mark Doty’s walk with his dogs as SUN .......... the sun sets is heard alongside the Finnish composer SUN .......... Rautavaara’s concerto for birds and orchestra, ‘Cantus SUN .......... Arcticus’. The memory of winter past is heard in David SUN .......... Hartnett’s ‘Two winters’ in which a man, now a parent SUN .......... himself, remembers his father shovelling snow outside his SUN .......... childhood home, a time in which he dreamed that the snow SUN .......... fell for years ‘and the ray of stars like birds’ feet SUN .......... flecked the white’. Winters in California and Tangiers are SUN .......... evoked by the poets Karl Shapiro and Sarah Maguire – in SUN .......... one the pink camellias line the paths, in the other SUN .......... ‘hibiscus blooms burn, scarlet, cerise, tangerine’. The SUN .......... programme ends with Robert Frost’s ‘Stopping by woods on a SUN .......... snowy evening’ and Wayne Barlow’s rhapsody for oboe and SUN .......... strings inspired by Appalachian folk songs, ‘Winter’s SUN .......... Passed’. SUN .......... Fiona McLean - Producer. SUN .......... SUN .......... ALEKSANDER GLAZUNOV The Seasons – Winter SUN ..........
