The citySUNwas the hothouse of modernism in the 1920s and 30s,SUNattracting artists such as Picasso and composers such asSUNStravinsky, and while such charismatic figures left theirSUNmark on Martinu, the composer nonetheless ploughed his ownSUNdistinctive artistic furrow, resulting in a verySUNindividual voice.

It is often encountered in a public event ratherSUNthan as a private reflection, at a reading, or online, asSUNan aspect of a virtual community. It is found on publicSUNtransport, carved into public buildings, projected ontoSUNwalls.SUNSUNAll this raises questions. Does poetry become accessible,SUNor merely harder to avoid? Does its increased presenceSUNindicate that people care for it more and has the audienceSUNaltered with the means of delivery? Does poetry now matterSUNmore - or less?SUNSUN22:15 Words and Music b00p69gr (Listen)SUNMark the MusicSUNSUNPeter Capaldi and Emily Bruni read poetry and prose on theSUNtheme of music, from the metaphysical to the everyday. TheSUNprogramme explores the wide-ranging facets and inescapableSUNpower of music - the mystical concept of the music of theSUNspheres, the power of music in childhood and everydaySUNlife, music as a psychological tormentor and the beauty ofSUNmusic in performance.SUNSUNWith poems by Siegfried Sassoon, Walt Whitman, ThomasSUNHardy and Pablo Neruda, and prose by Nick Hornby and LouisSUNde Bernieres. Music to complement the readings includesSUNworks by Messiaen, Purcell, Pergolesi, Charles Mingus,SUNNeil Young, and Philip Glass.SUNSUNIn this edition of Words & Music I explore the nature andSUNpower of music itself, in all its many guises. Music inSUNsociety and our own individual lives has inspired writersSUNthroughout the centuries. Here are some highlights fromSUNthe programme…SUNSUNRobert Herrick’s poem ‘A Canticle to Apollo’ starts theSUNsequence with music as God’s gift to humanity, leading onSUNto Messiaen’s ethereal Des canyons aux étoiles. Going backSUNto the third century, the Roman grammarian CensorinusSUNquestions the nature of music which he feels can beSUNunderstood through embryology, astronomy and mathematics.SUNHis assertion that music can go so far as to rouse theSUNlegions in war is reflected in Janacek’s bright and boldSUNSinfonietta.SUNSUNAnother early philosophical concept I have included isSUNMusica Universalis or the Music of the Spheres (frequentlySUNaccredited to Pythagoras) which associated music with theSUNsun, moon and planets. The 18th century writer, J F H VonSUNDalberg euphorically describes his vision of cosmic musicSUNand a meeting with the spirit of harmony against a backSUNdrop of Pergolesi’s Salve Regina in a recording by theSUNcounter-tenor, Andreas Scholl.SUNSUNMoving from the lofty and spiritual to the everyday andSUNthe role of music in modern life, I’ve selected an extractSUNfrom Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity. Record obsessed RobSUNturns up the volume to escape his disastrous love life,SUNseeking solace with Neil Young and contemplating the musicSUNto feature at his own funeral which optimisticallySUNincludes ‘You’re the Best Thing that Ever Happened to Me’SUNby the empress of soul Gladys Knight.SUNSUNWhilst in adult life many of us turn to music in times ofSUNlove and loss, we often start our musical journey inSUNchildhood with obligatory and unrequested piano lessonsSUN... the patient and imaginative teacher in Alastair Reid’sSUN‘A Lesson in Music’ makes a valiant effort as sheSUNencourages her pupil to ‘play the tune again’ with theSUNbackdrop of twinkle, twinkle little star, really Mozart’sSUNVariations on ‘Ah vous dirai-je maman’.SUNSUNWhilst music can often soothe and comfort it can alsoSUNtorment, as in Clara Schumann’s heart rending account ofSUNher husband Robert’s descent into insanity as he strugglesSUNto compose and express himself in his music. Anne Sexton’sSUN‘Music Swims Back to Me’ describes an institutionalisedSUNyoung woman as she tries to make sense of herSUNsurroundings. As music swims round her muddled mind, theSUNsinister sounds of Ligeti’s Mysteries of the Macabre addSUNto the darkness.SUNSUNBut, I also wanted to reflect how music can draw peopleSUNtogether. Jack Kerouac’s lucid description of the BeatSUNGeneration and Charles Mingus exuberant ‘Better Git It InSUNYour Soul’ are a vibrant reminder of music’s power toSUN‘excite souls’ (in the words of Censorinus) and to defineSUNeras.SUNSUNAnd to conclude there’s the theme of music as a form ofSUNreminiscence. Music can powerfully provoke memories andSUNtake us back to times past, either real or imagined. InSUNCecil Day Lewis’ poem ‘Cornet Solo’ the strain of a mereSUNfew distant notes take the narrator back to distantSUNchildhood days reflected in the haunting sounds of theSUNspiritual Motherless Child …SUNSUNThanks to Peter Capaldi and Emily Bruni.SUNSUNRuth Thomson (Producer)SUNSUNPC = Peter Capaldi EB = Emily BruniSUNSUN00:00:00SUNRobert Herrick: A Canticle to Apollo (PC and EB)SUN00:00:22SUNMessiaen: Des Canyons Aux Etoiles [le désert]SUNFrench Radio Philharmonic OrchestraSUNMyung-Whun Chung (conductor) DG 471 617-2 Track 1SUN00:03:34SUNShakespeare: The Merchant of Venice – from Act V Scene 1SUN(EB)SUN00:03:57SUNPurcell: Fantasia a 4 ‘Three Parts on a Ground’SUNOrchestra of the 18th Century Frans Bruggen (conductor)SUNPhilips 4267142 Track 2SUN00:09:07SUNCensorinus: from Harmony and Embryology [from De dieSUNNatali XI-XII] (PC)SUN00:10:48SUNJanacek: Sinfonietta [allegretto] Pro Arte OrchestraSUNCharles Mackerras (conductor) Testament 1325 Track 1SUN00:13:06SUNJ F H F Von Dalberg: A Composer’s Glimpses of the Music ofSUNSpirits (PC)SUN00:14:27SUNPergolesi: Salve Regina in F minor [opening salve regina]SUNAndreas Scholl (countertenor) Les Talens LyriquesSUNChristophe Rousset (conductor) Decca 466 134-2SUNTrack 13SUN00:18:39SUNTrad: Devil’s Dream Blanche Coldiron (banjo)SUNKentucky Old-Time Banjo Rounder CD 0394 Track 1SUN00:19:19SUNWalt Whitman: Italian Music in Dakota (EB)SUN00:20:22SUNBellini: Norma [Casta Diva – Act 1 Scene 1]SUNMaria Callas (soprano) Orchestra del Teatro alla ScalaSUNTullio Serafin (conductor) EMI 7630002 CD 1 Track 9SUN00:27:22SUNNick Hornby: High Fidelity (PC)SUN00:28:12SUNNeil Young: Only Love Can Break Your HeartSUNReprise 7599-27243-2 Track 3SUN00:29:15SUNJ Weatherly: Best Thing That Ever Happened To MeSUNGladys Knight and the Pips The Singles CollectionSUNPolygram 842 003-2 Track 3SUN00:32:59SUNNancarrow: Study for Player Piano No 49c Wergo 60165-50SUNTrack 10SUN00:33:21SUNAnne Sexton: Music Swims Back To Me (EB)SUN00:34:56SUNLigeti: Mysteries of the Macabre (Arr Elgar Howarth)SUNHakan Hardenberger (trumpet) Roland Pontinen (piano)SUNPhilips 426 144-2 Track 11SUN00:37:18SUNRobert Schumann: String Quartet No 3 in A Major opus 41,3SUN[adagio molto] Zehetmair Quartet ECM 472 169-2SUNTrack 7SUN00:37:57SUNClara Schumann: The Advent of Insanity (EB)SUN00:44:14SUNPhilip Glass: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra [secondSUNmovement] Gidon Kremer (violin) Vienna PhilharmonicSUNChristoph von Dohnanyi (conductor) DG 4370912 Track 2SUN00:44:28SUNPablo Neruda: Ode to a Violin in California (PC)SUN00:50:07SUNCharles Mingus: Better Git It In Your SoulSUNColumbia/Legacy 01-065145-10/1 Track 1SUN00:50:53SUNJack Kerouac: San Francisco Scene (The Beat Generation)SUNRhino R2 70281 Track 1SUN00:55:50SUNTrad: Pack Up Your TroublesSUNBand of H M Coldstream Guards Saydisc CD SDL 358SUNTrack 12SUN00:56:25SUNSiegfried Sassoon: Everyone Sang (EB)SUN00:56:46SUNEric Whitacre: A Boy and a Girl PolyphonySUNStephen Layton (conductor) Hyperion CDA67543 Track 12SUN01:01:04SUNAlastair Reid: A Lesson in Music (EB)SUN01:01:14SUNMozart: Variations on ‘Ah vous dirai-je, maman’ K265SUNLivia Rev (piano) Hyperion CDA 66185 Track 4SUN01:05:12SUNLouis de Bernieres: Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (EB)SUN01:07:18SUNBach arr Mayor: Three Part InventionSUNSimon Mayor (mandolin) Acoustics CDACS 014 Track 5SUN01:08:27SUNCecil Day Lewis: Cornet Solo (PC)SUN01:10:15SUNTrad arr Hunsberger: Sometimes I Feel Like A MotherlessSUNChild Wynton Marsalis (cornet) Eastman Wind EnsembleSUNCBS Records MK 42137 Track 10SUNSUN23:30 Jazz Line-Up b00p69gt (Listen)SUNHarry Connick, Jr, Ben CroslandSUNJulian Joseph talks to pianist, singer and arranger HarrySUNConnick, Jr about his latest CD, Your Song.

The trio approaches improvisation in a subtleSUNmanner and creates a natural intensity combined with anSUNacute sensitivity.SUNMONMONDAY 7 DECEMBER 2009MONMON01:00 Through the Night b00p6b04 (Listen)MONIncluding:MON1.00amMONLeclair, Jean-Marie (1697-1764): Sonata in A flat forMONviolin and continuo in A flat, Op 5 No 1MON1.13amMONBoismortier, Joseph Bodin de (1689-1755): Trio in A minorMON(V sonates en trio, Op 37)MON1.20amMONLeclair, Jean-Marie (1697-1764): Sonata in B flat, Op 5 NoMON4MON1.37amMONCorelli, Arcangelo (1653-1713): Violin Sonata in E minor,MONOp 5 No 8 (a violone e violone) John Holloway (violin)MONJaap ter Linden (cello)MONLars Ulrik Mortensen (harpsichord)MON1.46amMONVivaldi, Antonio (1678-1741): Cello Sonata No 7 in GMONminor, RV42 Jaap ter Linden (cello)MONLars Ulrik Mortensen (harpsichord)MON1.59amMONVeracini, Francesco Maria (1690-1768): Violin Sonata in DMONminor, Op 2 No 12MON2.14amMONVeracini: Scozzese (Violin Sonata in E minor, Op 2 No 8)MONJohn Holloway (violin) Jap ter Linden (cello)MONLars Ulrik Mortensen (harpsichord)MON2.21amMONMendelssohn, Felix (1809-1847): Symphony No 3 in A minor,MONOp 56 (Scottish) Stavanger Symphony OrchestraMONVytautas Lukocius (conductor)MON3.01amMONCasanova, Gion Balzer (b.194?): La sera sper il lagMON(Evening on the Lake) Cantus Firmus SurselvaMONClau Scherrer (director)MON3.03amMONVonmoos, Nuot (b.1901): Cur chi vain la not (When nightMONfalls) Mustair Church Choir Beat Grond (director)MON3.05amMONSimeon, Gion Duno: Clera notg (Clear night)MONChor da Concert Grischun Alvin Muoth (director)MON3.08amMONSchoenberg, Arnold (1874-1951): Verklarte Nacht, Op 4MONBorromeo String QuartetMON3.36amMONLassus, Orlande de (1532-1594): La nuit froide et sombreMON3.38amMONLassus: Quand mon mari vientMON3.39amMONLassus: Toutes les nuits The King's SingersMON3.42amMONGabrieli, Giovanni (c.1553-1612): Canzon Primi Toni a 8MON(Sacrae Symphoniae 1597) Douglas Haas (organ)MONCanadian BrassMON3.46amMONGabrieli: Canzon II Septimi Toni a 8 (Sacrae SymphoniaeMON1597)MON3.49amMONCanzon: Gabrieli Prima a 5 (1608 collection)MONCanadian BrassMON3.51amMONGeminiani, Francesco (1687-1762): Concerto grosso in GMONminor (after Corelli Op 5 No 5) Academy of Ancient MusicMONAndrew Manze (director/violin)MON4.00amMONEnescu, George (1881-1955): Piano Sonata No 3 in D, Op 24MONDinu Lipatti (piano)MON4.21amMONLipatti, Dinu (1917-1950): Satraii, Suite for Orchestra,MONOp 2 (1934) Romanian National Radio OrchestraMONHoria Andreescu (conductor)MON4.45amMONGade, Jacob (1879-1963): Jalousie - tango tziganeMONYoung Danish String QuartetMON4.50amMONHollander, Friedrich (1896-1976), text: Robert Liebmann:MONIch bin von Kopf bis Fuss (from the film Der blaue Engel -MONFalling in love again - 1930)MONJean Stilwell (mezzo-soprano) Robert Kortgaard (piano)MONMarie Berard (violin) Joseph Macerollo (accordion)MONPeter Tiefenbach (conductor)MON4.54amMONLiszt, Franz (1811-1886): Grandes Etudes de Paganini No 2MONin E flat, S141 (Andantino capriccioso)MONMatti Raekallio (piano)MON5.01amMONSabbatini, Galeazzo (1597-1662): Congregavit dominus aquasMONAngharad Gruffydd Jones (soprano) ConcordiaMONMark Levy (conductor)MON5.05amMONTomkins, Thomas (1572-1641): Toy: Made at Poole CourtMON5.07amMONBull, John (c.1562-1628): In nomineMON5.11amMONGibbons, Orlando (1583-1625): Fantasia X in A minorMONMargreet Prinsen (organ of Midwolde Hervormde Kerk, builtMONby Andreas de Marez c.1657, incorporating pipework from aMONhouse organ of 1630 by Levinus Eekman)MON5.14amMONLocke, Matthew (c.1630-1677): Fantazie (keyboard only);MONSuite in A minor Pedro Memelsdorff (recorder)MONAndreas Staier (harpsichord)MON5.28amMONTallis, Thomas (c.1505-1585): Suscipe, quaeso domine forMONseven voices BBC Singers Stephen Cleobury (conductor)MON5.37amMONVaughan Williams, Ralph (1872-1958): Fantasia on a ThemeMONby Thomas Tallis for double string orchestraMONBBC Philharmonic Yan Pascal Tortelier (conductor)MON5.52amMONNorman, Ludvig (1831-1885): Contrasts for piano, Op 61,MONNos 1 and 2 (1883-1884)MON5.56amMONNorman, Ludvig (1831-1885): Contrasts for piano, Op 61,MONNos 3 and 4 (1883-1884) Bengt-Ake Lundin (piano)MON6.01amMONStrauss, Richard (1864-1949): Horn Concerto No 2 in E flatMONMarkus Maskuniitty (horn)MONFinnish Radio Symphony OrchestraMONJunichi Hirokami (conductor)MON6.22amMONGounod, Charles (1818-1893), arr.
