SUN .......... 22:15 Words and Music (b00g3vm4) SUN .......... Ancient Greece SUN .......... Actors Tim McMullan and Clare Higgins read poems and prose SUN .......... extracts by Shakespeare, Keats, Auden and Homer etc on the SUN .......... subject of Ancient Greece. With music by Schubert, SUN .......... Tippett, Bernstein, Stravinsky and Ravel SUN .......... SUN .......... Producer's Note SUN .......... SUN .......... The culture and mythology of Ancient Greece have inspired SUN .......... a wide range of writers and composers: the plays of the SUN .......... Elizabethan dramatists William Shakespeare and Christopher SUN .......... Marlowe; the dramas of Racine during the 17th Century; SUN .......... Goethe; the Romantics Keats, Tennyson and Matthew Arnold; SUN .......... and in the 20th Century Yeats, Auden and Greece’s own SUN .......... Cavafy. SUN .......... SUN .......... Cavafy’s Ithaka and Tennyson’s Ulysses both, in different SUN .......... ways, explore the notion of The Journey. And their SUN .......... reference point is one of the central myths of ancient SUN .......... Greek culture, the journey of Ulysses/Odysseus back to his SUN .......... homeland of Ithaka after the end of the Trojan War as SUN .......... recounted in Homer’s great epic the Odyssey. SUN .......... SUN .......... And so we start this sequence with the famous opening to SUN .......... Homer’s Odyssey where the poet invokes the muse for SUN .......... inspiration and describes Ulysses/Odysseus (“the man of SUN .......... many devices”) as he sets out on his return journey. And SUN .......... before that, Keats, whose reading of Homer in the SUN .......... translations of George Chapman was a life-changing SUN .......... experience (“Much have I travelled in the realms of Gold”). SUN .......... SUN .......... [Ravel, Nicholas Maw and Duparc all describe the sun-lit SUN .......... Mediterranean of Greece and the excitement of travel in SUN .......... their music] SUN .......... SUN .......... It was the Greek king Menelaus’s wife, Helen who SUN .......... indirectly caused the Trojan War by running off with the SUN .......... Trojan Prince, Paris. Offenbach takes a sardonic view of SUN .......... the whole affair as the Greek kings and heroes march on in SUN .......... La Belle Hélène. But Christopher Marlowe and Richard SUN .......... Strauss allow themselves to be swept up in her SUN .......... overwhelming beauty. SUN .......... SUN .......... The introductions to Shakespeare’s Troilus and Cressida SUN .......... and Tippett’s King Priam both catapult us into the broil SUN .......... of the Trojan War itself. SUN .......... SUN .......... In The Shield of Achilles Auden reflects bitterly on the SUN .......... differences between the Greek world as described by SUN .......... Homer—a world where, even amid warfare, imagination SUN .......... naturally ran to scenes of peace—and the world of SUN .......... totalitarian horror Auden himself imagines. At the same SUN .......... time, Auden criticizes Homer for attributing glory to SUN .......... warriors. Auden's moral opprobrium is directed, not at SUN .......... Thetis or Hephaestus, but at the strong iron-hearted SUN .......... man-slaying Achilles. SUN .......... SUN .......... But, away from the battle we see a softer side of Achilles SUN .......... in his tent, as he fantasizes with his friend Patroclus SUN .......... about their life after the war has finished. [Tippett] SUN .......... SUN .......... The love of Achilles for Patroclus became one of the icons SUN .......... of male romantic love for the Greeks. Cavafy muses on The SUN .......... Horses of Achilles who are upset by the death of Patroclus SUN .......... and mourn the “eternal disaster of death”. SUN .......... SUN .......... The Agathon movement from Bernstein’s Serenade (after SUN .......... Plato’s Symposium) leads from the Cavafy to Agathon’s SUN .......... speech in praise of love from Plato’s Symposium. SUN .......... SUN .......... Ancient Greece seems to have been a very male-dominated SUN .......... society, with women definitely occupying a lower rung of SUN .......... importance. However Greek tragedy has given us some of the SUN .......... strongest female characters in world literature: Medea, SUN .......... Clytemnestra, Elektra and Phaedra whose obsessive sexual SUN .......... passion for the virginal Hippolytus ends in disaster SUN .......... (Racine, Britten) SUN .......... SUN .......... The Greek male by contrast could either have been SUN .......... all-male, all-conquering heroes such as Odysseus and SUN .......... Achilles; or at the other extreme they were chaste epicene SUN .......... youths such as Hippolytus or Ganymede (Goethe, Schubert) SUN .......... SUN .......... We come full circle with Yeats’s poem Leda and the Swan in SUN .......... which Zeus disguises himself as a swan in order to rape SUN .......... Leda who eventually gives birth to Helen whose elopement SUN .......... SUN .......... The journey to Ancient Greece ends on the slopes of Mount SUN .......... Parnassus with Apollo, the Greek god of poetry inspiring SUN .......... the 9 muses (Stravinsky, Matthew Arnold). And the sequence SUN .......... fades away as Words and Music become one in the wordless SUN .......... conclusion to Strauss’s An dem Baum SUN .......... Daphne: Daphne transformed into a laurel tree by Apollo. SUN .......... SUN .......... Clive Portbury (producer) SUN .......... SUN ..........

John Eliot Gardiner explore the music of Hector Berlioz, MON .......... regarded by many as France's greatest composer. MON .......... MON .......... They focus on a single work, the Messe solennelle, which MON .......... Berlioz composed at the tender age of 21. Long thought MON .......... lost - the composer incinerated the parts after only two MON .......... performances - the score turned up in 1992 in an oak chest MON .......... in an Antwerp organ loft, where it had lain unnoticed for MON .......... over a century. Despite Berlioz's evidently low opinion of MON .......... it, the Messe solennelle is a remarkable and still MON .......... relatively little-known work that bears many hallmarks of MON .......... the composer's mature style.

Hector Berlioz (1803-1869), Episode 2 TUE .......... Donald Macleod explores the music of Hector Berlioz in TUE .......... conversation with Sir John Eliot Gardiner at the TUE .......... celebrated conductor's Dorset farm. For Gardiner, Berlioz TUE .......... is perhaps the greatest of French composers, and he speaks TUE .......... with a lifetime's experience of studying and performing TUE .......... this remarkable music. TUE .......... TUE .......... They explore two of Berlioz's symphonies - Harold in Italy TUE .......... and Romeo and Juliet. But are they really symphonies? TUE .......... TUE .......... Harold includes a part for solo viola, which suggests a TUE .......... concerto, but it's more like a song without words, evoking TUE .......... the spirit of Byron's Childe Harold, than a true concerto TUE .......... role. That's certainly what Paganini thought: he TUE .......... commissioned Berlioz to write it but then lost interest TUE .......... when he realised that it was not going to allow him TUE .......... sufficient scope to show off. TUE .......... TUE .......... And Romeo, with its voices, its chorus and its plot, is as TUE .......... much a concert opera as it is a symphony, closely TUE .......... following the action of the Shakespeare play that amazed TUE .......... the composer when he saw it in September 1827. TUE .......... TUE .......... Like a pioneering horticulturalist, Berlioz created new TUE .......... musical hybrids to suit his present purpose, so no wonder TUE .......... that some of his contemporaries were confused. But in the TUE .......... process he created some of the most thrilling, dramatic TUE .......... and beautiful music of the 19th century. TUE .......... TUE ..........

TUE .......... 20:45 Belief (b00g3yc6) TUE .......... Series 4, AN Wilson TUE .......... Joan Bakewell talks with public figures, artists and TUE .......... thinkers about what they believe and why. She talks to TUE .......... writer, journalist and cultural historian AN Wilson, whose TUE .......... attitude to religion has fluctuated over the years. His TUE .......... most recent book, Our Times, takes a scathing look at TUE .......... Britain since 1953 and believes it has changed so much as TUE .......... to be unrecognisable. He puts these changes down to, among TUE .......... other things, mass immigration, a decline in church TUE .......... attendance and a loss of any sense of being a nation. TUE .......... TUE .......... Wilson has supported and attacked religion in almost equal TUE .......... measure throughout his work and life. Initially heading TUE .......... for a vocation in the church, he left theological college TUE .......... after a year and embarked on an academic and writing TUE .......... career. In the 1980s, he argued that society should live TUE .......... without religion and published books on both Jesus and St TUE .......... Paul, professing profound scepticism. Yet the death of his TUE .......... mother and his own journey as a parent, have seen him TUE .......... distance himself from such writings. Nowadays, Wilson is TUE .......... to be found in church on Sundays and welcomes a society TUE .......... that embraces religion. But not, fundamentalist forms of TUE .......... religion, which he says, are on the increase and are to be TUE .......... feared. TUE ..........

Donald Macleod explores the music of Hector Berlioz in THU .......... conversation with Sir John Eliot Gardiner at the THU .......... celebrated conductor's Dorset farm. For Gardiner, Berlioz THU .......... is perhaps the greatest of French composers, and he speaks THU .......... with a lifetime's experience of studying and performing THU .......... this remarkable music. THU .......... THU .......... They explore the poetic vein of death and melancholy THU .......... running through Berlioz's output - on the face of it, a THU .......... somewhat gloomy line of enquiry, but in fact one that THU .......... brings together an astonishing variety of reflections on THU .......... mortality. THU .......... THU .......... On Berlioz's third attempt to win the coveted Prix de Rome THU .......... in 1829, he was thought to be a shoo-in. But rather than THU .......... submitting a safe, conventional piece designed to impress THU .......... the academic judges, he produced a highly original work THU .......... that was held by the judiciary to 'betray dangerous THU .......... tendencies'. That work was The Death of Cleopatra. THU .......... THU .......... Barely a decade later, Berlioz was considered sufficiently THU .......... part of the French musical establishment to be THU .......... commissioned to write music for a grand ceremony to mark THU .......... the tenth anniversary of the July Revolution. In response, THU .......... he composed what he called his Grande symphonie funebre et THU .......... triomphale, scored for a huge military band of 200 players. THU .......... THU .......... The programme concludes with Tristia (Sad Things), a title THU .......... borrowed from Ovid and a triptych of reflective pieces THU .......... including the well-known Death of Ophelia and the less THU .......... well-known Funeral March for the Final Scene of Hamlet.
