A glass of Chianti would beSATthe ideal accompaniment to this Italian Fantasy whichSATblends the reminiscences of English-speaking travellersSATand the music of Italy, both authentic and as imagined bySATvisiting composers.SATIt's a series of snapshots, of light older than wine ,SATsolitary pines which whisper of pre-ChristianSATconspiracies, of gaudy baroque fountains which , on closerSATinspection, may not be at all suitable for the politeSATvisitor, of food, sea, castles and ruins. And of courseSATthere are the tourists, the great hordes of substantialSATdollar-bringing virgins as memorably sketched bySATe.e.cummings, with their Baedekers, Mothers and Kodaks.SATWe hear from the earlier tourists of the age of Byron andSATShelley, awed by the ruins of Rome and Pompeii. And fromSATMark Twain, perhaps rather less awed at Pompeii and moreSATconcerned with the realities of life and taxes before theSATeruption. If Twain had made his visit a few years later heSATwould have been able to ride up Vesuvius on the newSATfunicular railway so famously celebrated in song.SATRobert Browning, that great Italophile, describes aSATwindswept feast after wine making, and who else butSATElizabeth David to mouth wateringly describe the famousSATwhite truffles of Alba.SATMusic includes Berlioz' Harold in Italy which wasSATinspired by Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and theSATByronic Bob Dylan is also inspired by Rome. Thomas Hardy,SATrather unexpectedly, describes hearing a Strauss waltzSATwhile on the Palatine. There is music from Respighi, hisSATfamous descriptions of the pines and fountains of Rome ,SATas well as one of his Ancient Airs and Dances at the end,SATthe original renaissance version of which is heard earlierSATin the programme on the lute. The impressionistic music ofSATDebussy follows the impressionistic verse of GabrielleSATD'Annunzio, Sir John Betjeman is heard reading (to music)SAThis own gentle parody of Longfellow's verse and.we hearSATfrom an Italian Trallalero team, a traditional form ofSATsinging from Liguria, performed while standing in a circle.SATWe end with the great Italian poet Leopardi and his hymnSATto the power of the imagination, L'infinito.SATSo conjure up the Italy of your imagination - no BaedekerSATrequired.

We know him as QueenSUNVictorian's Poet Laureate, an imposing figure with a beardSUNand cape and the author of long poems often based on mythsSUNand legends. But this image hides other facets of TennysonSUNand obscures the fact that many creative artists today areSUNdrawing on his work.SUNSUNChampioning him as a poet for our times as well as hisSUNown, Ruth talks to figures as diverse as poet and formerSUNLaureate Andrew Motion, novelists Andrew O' Hagan and AdamSUNFoulds, poet Jo Shapcott, rock musician Dani Filth, andSUNacademics Robert Douglas-Fairhurst and Angela Leighton.SUNShe hears how the figure of Tennyson has been anSUNinspiration to them.SUNSUNRuth also investigates the real Alfred behind the image ofSUNgrandeur. She finds out about his preoccupation with whatSUNhe called the 'black blood' of his family, whose membersSUNwere prone to breakdowns, alcoholism and madness. And sheSUNhears how these concerns led to Tennyson's ability toSUNarticulate neurosis and loss in his work even though, asSUNPoet Laureate, he became an Establishment figure.SUNSUN22:30 Words and Music b00k4gc6 (Listen)SUNThe DoubleSUNSUNA sequence of poetry, prose and music exploring theSUNdisturbing world of shadows and ghostly doubles, withSUNreadings by Janie Dee and Nicholas Farrell.SUNSUNWith works by Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson,SUNDostoevsky, Heine, Wilde, Robert Lowell and KhalilSUNGhibran, interspersed with music by Bach, Boulez, SchubertSUNand Steve Reich.SUNSUNEver since reading Dostoevsky's novella The Double, ISUNhave been haunted by the idea of the doppelganger - theSUNsinister ghostly twin. Not only does it make greatSUNfiction, but the idea of the 'shadow aspect' asSUNexpounded by Jung, and the embodiment of all our repressedSUNinadequacies, has resonance with all manner of modernSUNanxieties. This episode of Words and Music is an attemptSUNto capture some of the spectrum of great writing on thisSUNsubject - from the worlds of evil twins, nervous shadows,SUNand slowly disintegrating mental faculties - and ally thisSUNwith music that not only explores ideas of doubling, butSUNcreates its own jittery, confused, and occasionallySUNviolent musical narrative.SUNSUNStarting at the lighter end of the spectrum, RobertSUNDodsley's whimsical 'Song' casts doubts on theSUNsurety of human perception, and sets up the gentleSUNdislocation of Steve Reich's 'New YorkSUNCounterpoint'. Reich, a composer whose compositionalSUNpractice explores ideas of phasing, placing similarSUNmusical material out of sync with itself, seemed a perfectSUNplace to begin, and is someone whose work I return to.SUNSUNEighth century Chinese poet Li Po's, 'Drinking AloneSUNwith Moonlight', gives an interesting perspective on theSUNsolitary, talking to oneself and the moon, creating inSUNone's shadow the beginning of a more sinister doubleSUNwhich is soon joined by Francis Carey Slater's darkerSUN'Shadow' - one borne perhaps from past trauma. It isSUNupsetting recollection that is the theme of Heine'sSUNfamous poem that follows, where a man encounters his ownSUNdouble staring at his now ex-lover's window, the senseSUNof melancholy heightened by a fragile, wavering 1948SUNrecording of Chopin's fourth Prelude by BennoSUNMoiseiwitsch.SUNSUNSurprisingly no less poetic, psychiatrist Carl Jung statesSUNhis case for a psychological double, and in a cannySUNfictional parallel Stevenson's Dr Jekyll recalls hisSUNtheories on the 'primitive duality of man'. EdmundSUNCampion's work 'Losing Touch' for vibraphone andSUNelectronics begins to unpick this duality, as theSUNelectronics create a nervous, jumpy response to theSUNsweeter toned vibraphone. There is also a touch of theSUNcosmic in the starry interplay between mallets andSUNcircuitboards as both readers reappear with SimonSUNArmitage's miniature 'Gemini' - a disturbing imageSUNof the celestial twins that speaks volumes within its fewSUNwords.SUNSUNA multi layered musical double appears next as the twinSUNstrands of Bach's canonic two-part invention meander offSUNin joyous self-reflection, but on another level areSUNjoined, like a ghostly image in a photograph, by pianistSUNGlenn Gould's distant, disembodied humming. In JohnSUNClare's 'For the Vision of Time' the stooped old manSUNwho whispers with his alarmingly more upright shadow maySUNwell be sharing the same concerns as the Fleet Foxes inSUNtheir haunting 'Tiger Mountain Peasant Song'. TheSUNdisembodiment intensifies, with Pierre Boulez'sSUN'Dialogue de l'Ombre Double', as an amplified soloSUNclarinet dances with a taped shadow of itself. As withSUNGould's humming, here the eerie musical penumbra comesSUNfrom the speakers being placed inside a piano, the naturalSUNreverberations enhancing the sense of dislocation.SUNSUNDuality replaces dislocation in Sir Edmund WilliamSUNGosse's 'The Twofold Voice', as he imagines aSUNclassical double, whilst Mr Golyadkin, the hapless hero ofSUNDostoevsky's novella, comes to the unhappy conclusionSUNthat the man sat opposite him is 'none other than heSUNhimself, another Mr Golyadkin'. And here the shadowsSUNhave become real, the internalised fears and inadequaciesSUNhave taken on human form. Mr Golyadkin's meeting withSUNhis double only serves to hasten his mental decline, andSUNthe two plodding double basses of Ornette Coleman's epicSUNcollective improvisation 'Free Jazz' brilliantlySUNillustrates the division of the Golyadkin mind set.SUNIsolated one on each stereo channel the contrasting stylesSUNof bassists Charlie Haden and Scott LaFaro become the twoSUNincreasingly frantic sides of Mr Golyadkin's splittingSUNpersona.SUNSUNAs 'Free Jazz' disintegrates into the sound of theSUNsea, the conversation becomes internalised as MikeSUNBarlow's 'The Boat in my Brain' offers a serene, yetSUNconfused picture of losing one's mind, and this serenitySUNis reflected in the gentle rocking of Steve Reich'sSUNstring work 'Duet', as the two violins occasionallySUNstrain the timing of their canonic melodies over theSUNthrobbing of the strings below. In an extract from 'TheSUNMadman' Khalil Gibran imagines not two but seven selvesSUNdiscoursing at night, and it is these seven voices thatSUNproceed to wind round each other in Purcell's In NomineSUNfor seven viols.SUNSUNIn a brief diversion into the world of the reflectedSUNdouble, we hear Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray selling hisSUNsoul for the chance to stay as beautiful as his portrait,SUNwhilst the distinctly unbeautiful 'Fat man in theSUNmirror' unravels at the sight of what he has become andSUNloses himself in somewhat manic childhood reminiscence.SUNThis mania intensifies as the two voices of SteveSUNReich's early tape piece 'Come Out' grow furtherSUNapart and multiply, like the voices in one's head, andSUNare muddled by the chirping of Lars Fredriksen's 108SUNChinese crickets. The 'heavy animal part' of man fromSUNGosse's earlier poem returns, trying to escape, perhapsSUNlike Gibran's seven selves, from inside JamesSUNStephen's 'Cage', in a 'busy, timid rage'. AndSUNit is this busy timidity that characterises MrSUNGolyadkin's second appearance - no longer so sure ofSUNmind, having been thoroughly unsettled by his double.SUNSUNHeine's Doppelganger reappears too, but this time inSUNSchubert's song setting, voiced with clarity and powerSUNby the baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, whose anger atSUNhis shadowy double is perhaps a precursor of Jung'sSUN'demonic dynamism'. It is certainly a demonic forceSUNthat then motivates and delights the transformed Mr Hyde,SUNas he relishes, despite the agonies of his transformation,SUNthe possibilities of unfettered wickedness.SUNSUNAn excerpt from Bartok's second string quartet, writtenSUNduring the hardships of the first world war, provides theSUNtumbling violent energy that Mr Hyde now possesses andSUNbrings us to the climax of Poe's 'William Wilson',SUNwhere the real and the psychological meet, and in killingSUNhis double Wilson has ultimately destroyed something vitalSUNwithin himself, something I'm sure Jung would haveSUNagreed with. The agonies both real and imagined hit WilsonSUNwith the force of Harrison Birtwistle's orchestralSUNclimax, but, as with so many of the texts, it is hard toSUNknow how much of this is real, and how much the separationSUNof the conscious and unconscious mind.

Many Huguenots hadWEDfled religious persecution in France and he also visitsWEDone of their churches in London - which now functions as aWEDmosque - to see what effect Locke's thinking had on theWEDEnglish establishment and faith communities of the 17thWEDcentury as well as assessing its relevance today inWEDmulti-faith Britain.WEDWED23:00 The Essay b00lxtlm (Listen)WEDTennyson 200, The KrakenWEDSeries in which contemporary British poets choose a singleWEDpoem or extract by Tennyson and give a personal account ofWEDwhy it means so much to them.WEDWEDWelsh poet Gwyneth Lewis discusses Tennyson's poem TheWEDKraken - a legendary sea-monster inhabiting the 'ancient,WEDdreamless, uninvaded sleep' of the unchartered ocean,WEDwhich, when ultimately it rises to the surface, isWEDdestined to die. She finds surprising poetic inspirationWEDin this short, intense and unforgettable work.WEDWEDLewis thought she had outgrown Tennyson around the timeWEDshe did her O-levels.
