SAT SAT Mendelssohn in Scotland SAT SAT This week Music Matters traces Felix Mendelssohn's SAT journey around the highlands of Scotland, which he took SAT SAT After travelling from London to Edinburgh - where he SAT sketched a view of the city from Arthur's Seat (pictured SAT left), one of many drawings now housed in Oxford's SAT Bodleian Library - Mendelssohn and Klingemann spent three SAT weeks taking in sights such as Blair Atholl and Pitlochry, SAT Fort William, Oban and the Western Isles. It was here, on SAT August 7th 1829 whilst overlooking the Isle of Mull, that SAT Mendelssohn found the inspiration for an orchestral piece SAT we now know as the Hebrides or Fingal's Cave Overture. SAT SAT Tom's Journey SAT SAT Taking the sleeper train from London, Tom also starts his SAT Scottish journey in Edinburgh, where he is joined by SAT social historian Alison Hiley to talk about SAT Mendelssohn's fascination with Scotland and how the SAT nearby ruins of Holyrood Abbey influenced the Scottish SAT Symphony. SAT SAT From there he travels west to the Hebrides, where he is SAT joined by musicologist John Purser. Between them they SAT imagine the connections between landscape and music - SAT not only Mendelssohn's, but also looking back to the SAT traditional of Scotland from Gaelic folk-singing to SAT pibroch - a high-art form of bagpipe music - SAT demonstrated overlooking Tobermory harbour on the Isle of SAT Mull by local singer Janet Campbell and piper Callum SAT Maclean. SAT SAT The climax of Mendelssohn's trip was a visit to SAT Fingal's Cave on the Isle of Staffa off the coast of SAT Mull - a day after he wrote the first bars of the SAT Overture. John Purser and Tom reflect on the sounds SAT created in this gigantic cathedral, where the sea creates SAT swells and booms which are matched by the ebb and flow in SAT Mendelssohn's piece. SAT SAT Also in the programme, biographer Larry Todd sheds further SAT light on the Scottish influences on Mendelssohn, and Sir SAT Peter Maxwell Davies talks about the mysterious radiance SAT of the music and its influence on his own work. SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b00k9pxs (Listen) SAT Mendelssohn Weekend SAT Catherine Bott talks to Christoph Wolff about SAT Mendelssohn's love of the music of the Bachs and the links SAT between these two families.

Madame Levy also commissioned new works and became a SAT patron for the two elder Bach brothers. SAT SAT The programme includes excerpts from Mendelssohn's SAT arrangement of JS Bach's St Matthew Passion and works by SAT two of his sons, WF and CPE Bach.

SAT SAT And Hayman's cousin Cecile, an adolescent in the Third SAT Reich, talks for the first time of how it felt to be a SAT 'Mischling', belonging neither with Jews nor Aryans, in a SAT world where being a Mendelssohn had suddenly changed from SAT a badge of pride to a source of shame, and even mortal SAT danger.

In 1829, aged 20, the young SAT and impressionable composer embarked on a tour that lasted SAT until 1832. SAT SAT It was the longest trip undertaken by any musician in SAT modern times and spanned England, Scotland, the Swiss Alps SAT and European cities such as Vienna, Rome and Paris. The SAT journey concluded in London, a city where Mendelssohn felt SAT particularly at home. Throughout the trip, Mendelssohn SAT wrote letters to his family about his impressions of the SAT landscape, culture and customs of the different countries SAT he encountered. It was also a process of self-discovery SAT where he thought about his future plans and his identity SAT as a German. SAT In London he sees streets shrouded in fog; in Edinburgh he SAT scrambles up Arthur's Seat for a view of the city. SAT He notes in Vienna that people do nothing at all. SAT Travelling down the Danube by boat is a highlight and in SAT Pressburg he joins in the celebrations for the crowning of SAT the King of Hungary. His final destination is London, SAT where he is overwhelmed by the enthusiastic reception by SAT audiences.

Describing a SAT formative early influence, he went to a gig by prog rock SAT band Yes in 1973, and heard beautiful orchestral music SAT playing over the PA - he found out that it was SAT Stravinsky's Firebird, and wanted to explore this music SAT further. SAT SAT Now a professor of music at Princeton, he continues to SAT play electric guitar, and has written two concertos for SAT the instrument. As a composer he is noted for his highly SAT individual style, a multi-layered play of rhythm and SAT sonority which incorporates and plays with references to SAT classical and popular music.

SUN SUN 17:00 Discovering Music b00k9q72 (Listen) SUN Mendelssohn Weekend - Italian Symphony SUN Charles Hazlewood and the BBC Concert Orchestra explore SUN the history and workings of Mendelssohn's popular 4th SUN Symphony - the Italian, discovering that the composer was SUN torn between two artistic ideals - using music to express SUN the poetic and extra-musical, and creating a taut, pure SUN symphonic construction that would be deemed worthy of a SUN successor to Beethoven. SUN SUN Mendelssohn never managed to fully reconcile the two and SUN he remained dissatisfied with his symphony. He withdrew it SUN and it was never published in his lifetime. But that SUN didn't stop it becoming immensely popular and a staple SUN part of the symphonic repertoire. SUN SUN In considering the work and its revisions, Charles SUN provides an insight into Mendelssohn's philosophy as a SUN symphonist, as well as the role that Mendelssohn's mentor, SUN Goethe, played in directing the young composer. The SUN programme also features a performance of Mendelssohn's SUN overture inspired by a poem of Goethe, Die Erste SUN Walpurgisnacht.

SUN SUN 22:30 Words and Music b00k9q8r (Listen) SUN The Faerie World SUN SUN The Mendelssohn weekend ends with an edition SUN of Words and Music exploring the fairy tradition SUN in poetry and music. It's a tradition which SUN Shakespeare drew on for 'A Midsummer Night' s SUN Dream' but it began in the fourteenth century with SUN Chaucer and Gower. More recently, Victorian SUN and Edwardian writers and composers were SUN fascinated by the tradition, fuelled partly by their SUN preoccupation with childhood as A.S. Byatt SUN explores in her new novel 'The Children' s Book' . SUN SUN The relationship between fairy and human is SUN sometimes benign but more often dangerous SUN – the water spirit Undine desires men' s souls SUN while others, like the fairies in Yeat' s 'The Stolen SUN Child' , heard here in Cyril Rootham' s beautiful setting SUN of the poem, lure children away from the human world. SUN Some fairies we can imagine as beautiful spirits but SUN others, like the creatures in Christina Rossetti' s SUN 'Goblin Market' , are ugly, ferocious beasts with a SUN furious energy expressed by Antonio Bazzini in his SUN 'La ronde des lutins' (Dance of the Goblins). SUN SUN Scottish poets and composers bring the fairy tradition SUN into the twenty first century. In her poem 'Glamourie' SUN Kathleen Jamie draws on the supernatural Scottish SUN ballad of Tam Lin. John Burnside' s poems too are SUN filled with spirits and fairies, stolen children and selkies SUN – in the programme you' ll hear his 'Shiochie' s Hill, SUN Dunkeld' and 'entremonde' alongside Joan Baez' s SUN 'Silkie' and Judith Weir' s 'Distance and Enchantment, SUN which explores the phenomenon of fairy abduction in a SUN chamber piece inspired by a story from South Uist.
