SAT       Lessons with Mozart
SAT       
SAT       Jeremy Summerly eavesdrops on Thomas Attwood's composition
SAT       lessons with Mozart. 'Study strict counterpoint for a
SAT       year', said Mozart to the young Englishman freshly arrived
SAT       in Vienna in 1785, 'and then we'll talk about fugues...'.
SAT       
SAT       Remarkably, the manuscripts from their lessons over the
SAT       next year and a half survive, as does the study in
SAT       Mozart's luxury apartment near St Stephen's Cathedral in
SAT       the centre of Vienna; they provide a unique glimpse of a
SAT       great composer setting out the tools and techniques of his
SAT       trade.
SAT       
SAT       Also listening in to the master and pupil scribbling notes
SAT       and wisecracks side by side are the Mozarthaus director
SAT       Gerhard Vitek, composer and teacher Antony Pitts and the
SAT       British Library's curator of music manuscripts Nicolas
SAT       Bell. With the voices of Nicholas Dixon, Kathryn Knight
SAT       and Toby Scholz as well as students from the Royal Academy
SAT       of Music.

SAT       
SAT       Richard Strauss's Elektra, live from the Metropolitan
SAT       Opera, New York, conducted by Fabio Luisi, with soprano
SAT       Susan Bullock in the title role.
SAT       
SAT       Strauss's one-act opera tells the bloody story of Elektra
SAT       and her dysfunctional family. She has sworn vengeance for
SAT       the murder of her father King Agamemnon by her mother
SAT       Klytaemnestra. The opera tells the story of how she
SAT       eventually achieves this, at the cost of several lives
SAT       including, finally, her own.
SAT       
SAT       Susan Bullock won an Royal Philharmonic Society award for
SAT       her portrayal of the obsessed princess when she performed
SAT       the role at Covent Garden earlier in 2009. A first-rate
SAT       cast also includes Felicity Palmer as Klytaemnestra and
SAT       Deborah Voigt as Chrysothemis.

SAT       Synopsis
SAT       
SAT       Mycenae, ancient Greece. In the courtyard of the royal
SAT       palace, servant girls comment on the wild behavior of
SAT       Elektra, the eldest daughter of the late king Agamemnon.
SAT       
SAT       After they have left, Elektra appears, dressed in rags
SAT       (“Allein! Weh, ganz, allein”). She is obsessed with
SAT       thoughts of her father’s murder at the hands of her
SAT       mother, Klytämnestra, and her mother’s lover, Aegisth.
SAT       
SAT       Calling on her father’s spirit, she renews her vow of
SAT       vengeance. Her tirade is interrupted by her younger
SAT       sister, Chrysothemis, who urges Elektra to give up her
SAT       obsession with revenge so they both can lead normal lives.
SAT       
SAT       Elektra mocks Chrysothemis, who runs off as noises from
SAT       within the palace announce the approach of Klytämnestra.
SAT       
SAT       The queen staggers in. Drugs, loss of sleep, and fear of
SAT       retribution for her husband’s murder have made a wreck of
SAT       her (“Ich habe keine guten Nächte”).
SAT       
SAT       Surprised that Elektra will talk to her, she appeals to
SAT       her daughter’s intelligence and demands to know what she
SAT       needs to do to find peace of mind.
SAT       
SAT       A sacrifice has to be made, Elektra replies. When
SAT       Klytämnestra fails to comprehend what her daughter is
SAT       hinting at, Elektra screams at her that it is Klytämnestra
SAT       herself who must die and that she and her banished brother
SAT       Orest will kill her (“Was bluten muss?”).
SAT       
SAT       Klytämnestra is horrified, but when her confidante runs in
SAT       and whispers something, her mood changes abruptly.
SAT       Laughing maniacally, she disappears into the palace.
SAT       
SAT       Her behavior is explained when Chrysothemis reappears with
SAT       news that Orest is dead.
SAT       
SAT       Stunned, Elektra at first refuses to believe her, then
SAT       tells her sister that she must now help kill Klytämnestra
SAT       and Aegisth. Chrysothemis runs off in terror. As Elektra
SAT       frantically starts digging for the buried axe that killed
SAT       Agamemnon, a stranger appears.
SAT       
SAT       She asks him what he wants and he calmly replies that he
SAT       has been sent to bring news of Orest’s death (“Was willst
SAT       du, fremder Mensch?”). But when Elektra reveals that she
SAT       is Agamemnon’s daughter, he tells her Orest lives.
SAT       
SAT       Suddenly servants appear, kissing his hands and feet.
SAT       Frightened, Elektra asks who he is. The dogs in the
SAT       courtyard know me, the stranger replies, but not my own
SAT       sister?
SAT       
SAT       Crying his name, Elektra gives in to her unspeakable joy
SAT       and declares she has lived only to avenge their father’s
SAT       murder. When Orest’s guardian tells him the queen waits
SAT       inside, the men enter the palace.
SAT       
SAT       Elektra waits anxiously and when a scream is heard she
SAT       knows Orest has killed their mother. Aegisth arrives,
SAT       having heard the news of Orest’s death, and Elektra lights
SAT       his way into the palace with sarcastic courtesy.
SAT       
SAT       A moment later he reappears at a window, crying for help,
SAT       before he is dragged inside and killed. While tumultuous
SAT       confusion spreads through the palace and courtyard,
SAT       Elektra, in a state of ecstasy, begins a triumphal dance.
SAT       
SAT       Chrysothemis returns but Elektra doesn’t hear her and at
SAT       the climax of the dance falls dead.

SUN       
SUN       Michael Berkeley's guest is children's author Michael
SUN       Morpurgo, whose 1982 novel War Horse, inspired by the
SUN       experience of cavalry horses in the First World War, has
SUN       been turned into a smash hit play. His latest books deal
SUN       with children on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian
SUN       divide and with a boy caught up in an Indonesian tsunami
SUN       who is saved by an elephant.
SUN       
SUN       Morpurgo is a passionate music lover, especially of vocal
SUN       music, and his choices include works by Tallis, Purcell,
SUN       Bach and Handel as well as a concerto by Vivaldi, inspired
SUN       by his many visits to Venice, and Beethoven's Pastoral
SUN       Symphony, which reflects his deep love of rural life.

SUN       Christmas Carols
SUN       
SUN       Catherine Bott looks back on the origin of the Christmas
SUN       carol and roots out some of the original versions of some
SUN       of today's popular tunes. Carols appeared in Europe
SUN       thousands of years ago, but they weren't originally the
SUN       Christmas fare we know today. They were pagan songs for
SUN       the Winter Solstice and people would sing them as they
SUN       danced around stone circles. The word 'carol' suggests a
SUN       dance-song expressing praise or joy. Early Christians took
SUN       over the pagan solstice celebrations and so the link was
SUN       established between carols and Christmas. More often than
SUN       not Christmas carols were popular tunes to be performed in
SUN       gathering places or in the streets, only slowly did they
SUN       start to find there way into the church.
SUN       
SUN       Some of the melodies for today's popular carols are very
SUN       old, and through the course of this programme Catherine
SUN       draws on some of the original versions of the carols, for
SUN       songs such as Ding Dong Merrily On High and Good King
SUN       Wenceslas. She explores some of the ways in which early
SUN       composers have brought carols into the body of the church
SUN       service.

SUN       Vaughan Williams: Symphony No 5
SUN       
SUN       Stephen Johnson explores one of Vaughan Williams's most
SUN       tranquil works - his Symphony No 5 in D.
SUN       
SUN       The work was begun in 1938, just before the outbreak of
SUN       the Second World War, and completed in 1943, and its
SUN       serenity was set against the horrific backdrop of violence
SUN       taking place throughout Europe at the time. Vaughan
SUN       Williams conjures tonal images of the English countryside
SUN       and often alludes to the sounds of Elizabethan polyphony.

SUN       Liquid Assets: Handel's Finances
SUN       
SUN       BBC business correspondent Peter Day looks at Handel's
SUN       extraordinary success on the stock market as well as
SUN       examining the financial matters involved in putting on
SUN       operas and oratorios in 18th-century London.
SUN       
SUN       Handel speculated in the newly formed London stock market
SUN       throughout his life in the capital. Strikingly, he put
SUN       money into South Sea stock in 1716 when prices were low
SUN       and had sold up by 1720 when the South Sea credit bubble
SUN       burst in one of the great financial cataclysms in fiscal
SUN       history. Many others lost fortunes, including Sir Isaac
SUN       Newton, warden of the Royal Mint. The composer profited
SUN       handsomely and, while others shied away from the
SUN       uncertainties of speculation, he continued to invest
SUN       throughout his life. From 1744, Handel's investments just
SUN       grew and grew.
SUN       
SUN       Talking to Handel experts and financial historians, Peter
SUN       Day enters the tough economics of 18th-century
SUN       music-making and visits the Bank of England to see the
SUN       composer's extravagant signature on numerous ledgers as he
SUN       traded annuities.

SUN       
SUN       An edition of BBC Radio 3's weekly mixture of poetry,
SUN       prose and music inspired by the movies.
SUN       
SUN       Poets and composers have been associated with the cinema
SUN       since it began well over a hundred years ago. In the early
SUN       years, artists such the Russian poet Mayakovsky, Jean
SUN       Cocteau, WH Auden and Bertolt Brecht were all involved as
SUN       were composers William Walton, Erich Korngold, Max Steiner
SUN       and Elmer Bernstein.
SUN       
SUN       Poems include Tony Harrison's Continuous, George Szirtes's
SUN       In Memoriam Busby Berkeley, Carol Ann Duffy's Big Sue and
SUN       Now Voyager, ee cummings's your slightest look (heard in
SUN       Woody Allen's film Hannah and Her Sisters) and Roger
SUN       McGough's If Life's a Lousy Picture, Why Not Leave before
SUN       the End?
SUN       
SUN       Plus music by Michael Nyman, Mozart, Schumann, Bernard
SUN       Hermann, Aubert, Miles Davis, Nino Rota, Jerry Goldsmith
SUN       and Ennio Morricone.
SUN       
SUN       Producer note – At the Movies
SUN       
SUN       This week’s Words and Music takes a journey through the
SUN       history of cinema via the poetry and music inspired by the
SUN       movies. Poets and composers have been associated with the
SUN       cinema since the first film was made over a hundred years
SUN       ago. In those early years major writers like Jean Cocteau,
SUN       Mayakovsky, W.H. Auden and Bertolt Brecht were involved as
SUN       were the composers William Walton, Max Steiner, Elmer
SUN       Bernstein and Erich Korngold. And it’s not hard to see why
SUN       film and poetry work so well together – some even argue
SUN       that cinema narrative comes from classical poetry. Poets
SUN       like Michael Donaghy, August Kleinzahler, Liz Lochhead and
SUN       Frank O’Hara use brilliant cinematic images in their works
SUN       inspired by film.
SUN       
SUN       Inevitably, the lives of poets have frequently inspired
SUN       film makers too – Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Shelley and,
SUN       just this year, Keats in Jane Campion’s ‘Bright Star’. In
SUN       1994 Philippe Noiret played the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda
SUN       in ‘Il Postino’ – in the programme you’ll hear a section
SUN       of the soundtrack alongside Neruda’s ‘Poetry’.
SUN       
SUN       Terence Davies is just one director who has used poetry
SUN       and music throughout his films as a way of exploring his
SUN       key themes of memory and reflection. And, of course, Woody
SUN       Allen has always used music as the soundtrack of New York
SUN       in films like ‘Annie Hall’ and ‘Manhattan’. In this
SUN       programme you’ll hear the poet ee cummings’ ‘Your
SUN       slightest look’ with Rodgers and Hart’s ‘You are too
SUN       beautiful’ from ‘Hannah and her Sisters’.
SUN       
SUN       And, of course, for lots of people their first
SUN       introduction to classical music comes from the movies. The
SUN       first time I heard ‘Soave sia il vento’ from Mozart’s
SUN       ‘Cosi Fan Tutte’ was in a school film club screening of
SUN       John Schlesinger’s ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’ where it
SUN       illustrated perfectly his themes of beauty and infidelity.
SUN       
SUN       And you’ll hear some of the scores commissioned from the
SUN       great film composers like Bernstein, Bernard Herrmann,
SUN       Ennio Morricone and Max Steiner. In films like
SUN       ‘Chinatown’, ‘Vertigo’, ‘La Dolce Vita’ and ‘Now, Voyager’
SUN       it’s impossible to separate the words and music – both are
SUN       vital to the films’ success.

MON       
MON       Examining the dark sides of Wagner, Donald Macleod
MON       explores the composer's self-obsession.
MON       
MON       Wagner believed he was an extraordinary artist set apart
MON       from other men and, in the character of Lohengrin, the
MON       idea of a hero separated from ordinary mortals is followed
MON       to its logical conclusion. Wagner's perspective is
MON       revealed in his own words, against the backdrop of music
MON       from the opera.

MON       Young and Easy
MON       
MON       Readings of poetry and prose, interspersed with music,
MON       exploring the intensity of youth and its transience.
MON       
MON       Hattie Morahan and Samuel West read poetry and prose by
MON       Wordsworth, Rimbaud, Dylan Thomas, Thom Gunn, AE Houseman,
MON       Evelyn Waugh, Sylvia Plath, Jane Austen and Caroline Bird.
MON       
MON       Music includes Debussy, Schumann, Butterworth, Prokofiev,
MON       Thomas Morley, Britten and Bernstein.
MON       
MON       Producer's Note
MON       
MON       I took the title for this programme about youth from Dylan
MON       Thomas’s poem Fern Hill: “As I was young and easy under
MON       the apple boughs …” You feel things more intensely when
MON       you’re young. I think that is why the subject has inspired
MON       so many writers and composers.
MON       
MON       I have loosely divided the programme into themes of youth
MON       and joy, youth and sorrow, youthful love, doomed youth,
MON       rebellious youth, deprived youth and finally, the
MON       transience of youth. I have concentrated on periods of
MON       history when youth has been important such as the late
MON       18th and early 19th century. You could argue that the
MON       Romantics invented youth. Then a hundred years later when
MON       the First World War wiped out a generation of young men,
MON       youth became something to treasure. The last third of the
MON       programme mainly concentrates on the 20th century – the
MON       period between the wars when the bright young things –
MON       those who were lucky enough to be still alive – partied as
MON       if their lives depended on it. Then I have explored the
MON       1950s, the birth of the angry young man, the emergence of
MON       gang culture and the arrival of flower power. Near the end
MON       I have returned to Wordsworth and his poem Tintern Abbey
MON       in which he comes to term with leaving behind the passion
MON       of youth and finds something deeper and more tranquil to
MON       replace it. I have ended on an elegiac note with Ernest
MON       Dowson’s poem Vitae Summa Brevis Spem Nos Vetat Incohare
MON       Longam which is a quotation from Horace meaning ‘The Brief
MON       Sum of Life Forbids us the Hope of Enduring Long.’
MON       
MON       The music I have chosen is all youth-related. Some of it
MON       is on the subject of youth, such as Schumann’s Album fur
MON       de Jugend, Thomas Morley’s setting of Shakespeare’s song
MON       Oh Mistress Mine, Janice Ian’s At Seventeen, Debussy’s
MON       Girl with the Golden Hair and Gee Officer Krupke! from
MON       West Side Story. Other pieces of music I have included
MON       because they involve youthful performers, such as the
MON       violinist Chloe Hanslip and the Simon Bolivar Youth
MON       Orchestra of Venezuela. Finally I have also included music
MON       written when the composer was very young, such as Mozart’s
MON       Mitridate, written when he was only fourteen.

MON       
MON       From the BBC Proms 2009 season, Petroc Trelawny presents
MON       John Wilson and his hand-picked Orchestra celebrating 75
MON       years of MGM musicals with songs from unforgettable movie
MON       classics, including The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St Louis,
MON       Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, High Society, Gigi and
MON       Singin' in the Rain.
MON       
MON       Amazingly, although the original orchestral parts were
MON       lost when the studio destroyed its music library to make
MON       way for a car park, Wilson has succeeded in reconstructing
MON       the scores by painstakingly transcribing each soundtrack
MON       by ear. He is joined by starry singers from the classical
MON       and musical theatre worlds as well as by the elite Maida
MON       Vale Singers.

MON       
MON       Using recordings of patients, the devices some of them
MON       were attached to, and the hospital itself, the piece
MON       weaves together intensely personal narratives with the
MON       sounds of the hospital environment, exploring the
MON       experiences of transplant patients and the important
MON       issues raised by this invasive, last-option medical

MON       2009, Prom 37: Philip Glass
MON       
MON       From the BBC Proms 2009 season, Petroc Trelawny presents a
MON       concert devoted exclusively to the music of American
MON       minimalist composer Philip Glass. The BBC Scottish
MON       Symphony Orchestra and BBC Symphony Chorus are joined by
MON       violinist Gidon Kremer and conductor Dennis Russell
MON       Davies, both long-term advocates of Glass's music.
MON       
MON       Harmonic, pulsing and with constant repetition of small
MON       figures or phrases, minimalism blossomed from a small
MON       underground movement on the west coast of the United
MON       States in the 1960s to becoming one of the most popular
MON       forms of late 20th-century music. Philip Glass, one of its
MON       early pioneers, is one of the most prolific, influential
MON       and instantly identifiable composers of our age.
MON       
MON       This Prom showcases two of his most important works for
MON       full orchestra: his first major orchestral score - the
MON       Violin Concerto of 1987 - and the Toltec Symphony of 2004,
MON       which takes its title from the ancient pre-Columbian
MON       culture that reigned in Mesoamerica long before the coming
MON       of the Europeans.

TUE       character type of Handel's in the title role, a strong

TUE       Femmes Fatales
TUE       
TUE       A programme of poetry and music on the theme of the femme
TUE       fatale, an idea exemplified in some of the most passionate
TUE       artistic creations, including Medusa, Delilah, Carmen and
TUE       Lady Macbeth.
TUE       
TUE       Jeremy Northam and Harriet Walter read works by Keats,
TUE       Spenser, Shakespeare, Wilde, Carol Anne Duffy and Angela
TUE       Carter, alongside music by Handel, Massenet, Saint-Saens,
TUE       Richard Strauss, Bizet and Gershwin.
TUE       
TUE       Introduction
TUE       
TUE       I've always loved Keats' poem La Belle Dame Sans Merci and
TUE       it was my starting point for the programme. Who is this
TUE       supernatural beauty who drains the life of warriors and
TUE       kings and where does she come from? She is, of course, a
TUE       femme fatale - an archetype who figures in myth and
TUE       literature across all cultures and all ages. I looked up
TUE       the term in various dictionaries, here is the entry from
TUE       Chambers 21st century dictionary: “a woman with an
TUE       irresistible charm and fascination, often bringing those
TUE       who love her (usually men) into despair and disaster.”
TUE       
TUE       She was memorably incarnated by Glenn Close as the
TUE       bunny-boiler in Fatal Attraction and the popular
TUE       television series Desperate Housewives features a handful
TUE       of femmes fatales. One of my favourite recent examples
TUE       from popular culture is Xenia Onatopp from the James Bond
TUE       film Goldeneye who crushes men to death between her
TUE       thighs. Eve is one of the earliest examples of the type,
TUE       and one of the deadliest, as she is not only responsible
TUE       for Adam's personal downfall but for the fall of man.
TUE       
TUE       The first femmes fatales.
TUE       
TUE       In Hebrew mythology she appears as Lilith, Adam's first
TUE       wife who refused to adopt the missionary position during
TUE       sex and ended up giving birth to all the demons in the
TUE       world. In Sumerian myth she is Inanna, who attracts men
TUE       and then cruelly rejects them. In Ancient Greece she is
TUE       Pandora, who opens the forbidden box and releases all the
TUE       evils of mankind. In Homer's The Odyssey she is embodied
TUE       in the character of Circe who turns men into pigs.
TUE       
TUE       It was difficult to decide which women to include in my
TUE       programme, and there are many notable deadly ladies I
TUE       didn’t have room for. I hope they won’t wreak vengeance on
TUE       me. The programme starts with the Eqyptian Queen Cleopatra
TUE       described by Enobarbus in his famous speech from
TUE       Shakespeare’s Anthony and Cleopatra. I have used music
TUE       from Samuel Barber’s 1965 opera of the same name to
TUE       underscore the speech.
TUE       
TUE       Serpent Women
TUE       
TUE       Anthony refers to the Egyptian queen as “my serpent of old
TUE       Nile”. Cleopatra has a perfectly formed body, but very
TUE       often the femme fatale is in possession of a serpent’s
TUE       body or a fish’s tail. I have used various examples of the
TUE       serpent-woman including Keats’s Lamia, Rusalka - the
TUE       mermaid in Dvorak’s opera, the Lorelei in an appealing
TUE       song by Gershwin and Duessa, the ‘loathly lady’ in Book 1
TUE       of Spenser’s The Fairy Queen.
TUE       
TUE       Manon
TUE       
TUE       One of the most popular works of fiction of the 18th
TUE       century was Abbé Prévost's Manon Lescaut. His story of the
TUE       beautiful, fragile, but amoral Manon inspired no less than
TUE       4 operas and several ballets. I have used music by
TUE       Massenet, not from his opera Manon Lascaut, but from the
TUE       overture to Kenneth Macmillan’s ballet Manon. The score of
TUE       the ballet is drawn from many different works by Massenet,
TUE       although, oddly enough, not one of them is taken from his
TUE       opera about Manon. I have also used a piece from
TUE       Massenet’s opera Cléopâtre.
TUE       
TUE       The character of Manon was the inspiration for Prosper
TUE       Merimee’s Carmen, one of the most well-known femmes
TUE       fatales. In celebration of her I have included a version
TUE       of The Habanera arranged for the violin and played by the
TUE       virtuoso Anne-Sophie Mutter. The writing of the fin de
TUE       siècle is seething with femmes fatales and I have used an
TUE       extract from Oscar Wilde’s Salome together with the Dance
TUE       of the Seven Veils from Richard Strauss’s opera of the
TUE       same name.
TUE       
TUE       Vamps
TUE       
TUE       In the 20th century the femme fatale was re-invented as
TUE       the vamp by the silent screen star Theda Bara whose
TUE       fabricated name was actually an anagram of ‘Arab Death’,
TUE       hinting at another essential characteristic of the femme
TUE       fatale - her exoticism. The man-eating vamp became an
TUE       essential part of the genre of film noir in the 1940s and
TUE       50s and was notably portrayed by such actresses as Mary
TUE       Astor, Veronica Lake, Barbara Stanwyck and Joan Bennett.
TUE       My programme concentrates on the vamp in literature and
TUE       music, but I have given a nod to film by including Jackie
TUE       Kay’s poem The Life and Death of Bette Davis.
TUE       
TUE       The femme fatale, unsurprisingly, is a male construction
TUE       and until the 20th century nearly all the literary
TUE       depictions of her are by men. However, I have given her
TUE       the opportunity to answer back in poems by Carol Ann
TUE       Duffy, Jackie Kay, Linda Pastan and Suzanne Lummis.
TUE       
TUE       In addition to the music already mentioned I have used
TUE       music by Handel, Philip Glass, Shostakovich, Saint-Saëns
TUE       and Dowland.
TUE       
TUE       Naturally, I have given the femme fatale herself the last
TUE       word in an extract from Angela Carter’s short story about
TUE       a female vampire ‘The Lady of the House of Love’.

TUE       From the BBC Proms 2009 season, Petroc Trelawny presents
TUE       Charles Mackerras conducting a semi-staged performance of
TUE       Gilbert and Sullivan's exuberant operetta Patience, which
TUE       opened the famous Savoy Theatre in London in 1881.
TUE       
TUE       The operetta satirises the fad of the 1870s and 1880s
TUE       known as the aesthetic craze, when poets, painters and
TUE       composers were prolific but, some argued, empty and
TUE       self-indulgent. And Patience, the simple village milkmaid,
TUE       cares nothing for poetry.

TUE       
TUE       In the early years of the 20th century, letters arrived at
TUE       the Mount Wilson Observatory in California written by
TUE       people from all over the world who wanted to tell the
TUE       astronomers information about the universe that they had
TUE       acquired without using the observatory's giant telescope.
TUE       
TUE       The letters contained details of experiments, observations
TUE       and intuitions, and read like an alternative history of
TUE       space.
TUE

TUE       
TUE       From the BBC Proms 2009 season, Petroc Trelawny presents a
TUE       late-night Prom marking the 75th birthday of composer Sir
TUE       Harrison Birtwistle given at the Royal Albert Hall in
TUE       August.
TUE       
TUE       The London Sinfonietta and Birtwistle have formed a close
TUE       bond over the past four decades, and under the baton of
TUE       their co-founder David Atherton, they revisit three of the
TUE       composer's early works - all of which the ensemble
TUE       originally premiered.
TUE       
TUE       Verses for Ensemble showcases the virtuosity of the
TUE       ensemble with brass, wind and percussion all vying for the
TUE       listener's attention. In Silbury Air and Carmen arcadiae
TUE       mechanicae perpetuum, Birtwistle explores the mysterious
TUE       and the mechanical with imaginary landscapes and colliding
TUE       musical ideas.

WED       
WED       Barbara Jefford and Neville Jason explore the adventure of
WED       entering our 'third age', and the challenges and
WED       consolations of old age. With readings from Shakespeare,
WED       Yeats, Browning, Dylan Thomas, Roger McGough and Dannie
WED       Abse, and music including Mozart, Schubert, Chopin,
WED       Scarlatti, Villa-Lobos, John Taverner, Leiber & Stoller,
WED       Jerome Kern, and The Beatles.
WED       
WED       PRODUCER'S NOTE
WED       
WED       When I approached Barbara Jefford and Neville Jason to do
WED       the readings for my programme on the theme of old age I
WED       discovered that the last time they worked together was
WED       half a century ago when they played the twins Sebastian
WED       and Viola in Twelfth Night at the Old Vic and were only
WED       just starting out on their careers. At the start of
WED       Shakespeare’s play the twins are separated by a terrible
WED       storm and each thinks the other drowned. It takes the two
WED       and a half hours of Shakespeare’s drama to re-unite the
WED       pair and bring about the happy ending. It seemed a happy
WED       coincidence that this programme on age should reunite the
WED       pair in real life, fifty years on and both at the top of
WED       their game.
WED       
WED       In choosing old age as the theme of this programme I did
WED       not want to concentrate on the cruelties of ageing, but
WED       instead to celebrate it as a time when musicians and
WED       writers are at the peak of their talents. The programme
WED       starts with Mieczyslaw Horszowski playing Mozart at the
WED       Wigmore Hall three weeks before his 99th birthday,
WED       recorded live. During the programme you will hear
WED       Rostropovich playing for the Queen’s Jubilee in the Prom
WED       at the Palace in 2002 when he was 75, the 78 year old
WED       Vladimir Horowitz playing Chopin, and the legendary jazz
WED       bassist Milt Hinton, aged 85. There is also music from
WED       Elliott Carter’s Boston Concerto, written when he was 94,
WED       and from John Tavener’s Requiem, composed last year when
WED       he was 64 – a mere stripling compared to Horszowksi.
WED       
WED       I took the title for the programme from Dylan Thomas’
WED       ferocious villanelle Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good
WED       Night. I have included several comic poems, including one
WED       of my favourite of Robert Browning’s dramatic monologues,
WED       The Bishop Orders His Tomb at St Praxed’s Church. Barbara
WED       Jefford also performs an extract from Congreve’s The Way
WED       of the World in which Lady Wishfort attempts to cover up
WED       the cracks in her face sufficiently well to seduce a
WED       gentleman caller. There are also darker-toned poems from
WED       authors such as Sylvia Plath, W.B. Yeats and Thomas Hardy,
WED       but I have chosen to end on an extract from East Coker in
WED       which I think T.S. Eliot has managed to combine an
WED       understanding of the loss and sadness of old age with the
WED       sense that it might also be an adventure.

FRI       celebrated in Wordsworth’s ‘The Prelude’ when, as a child,
FRI       he and his friends skated along the ice, flying through
FRI       the cold in the darkness. With this you’ll hear Peter
FRI       Maxwell Davies’ ‘At the lochan’ from his ‘Seven Songs
FRI       Home’, the series of songs which tell the story of
FRI       children in the Orkneys making their way home from school
FRI       on a winter’s afternoon. Mark Doty’s walk with his dogs as
FRI       the sun sets is heard alongside the Finnish composer
FRI       Rautavaara’s concerto for birds and orchestra, ‘Cantus
FRI       Arcticus’. The memory of winter past is heard in David
FRI       Hartnett’s ‘Two winters’ in which a man, now a parent
FRI       himself, remembers his father shovelling snow outside his
FRI       childhood home, a time in which he dreamed that the snow
FRI       fell for years ‘and the ray of stars like birds’ feet
FRI       flecked the white’. Winters in California and Tangiers are
FRI       evoked by the poets Karl Shapiro and Sarah Maguire – in
FRI       one the pink camellias line the paths, in the other
FRI       ‘hibiscus blooms burn, scarlet, cerise, tangerine’. The
FRI       programme ends with Robert Frost’s ‘Stopping by woods on a
FRI       snowy evening’ and Wayne Barlow’s rhapsody for oboe and
FRI       strings inspired by Appalachian folk songs, ‘Winter’s
FRI       Passed’.

FRI       Performance on 3: Proms 2009, Prom 50: Beethoven's Fidelio
FRI       
FRI       From the BBC Proms 2009 season, Petroc Trelawny presents
FRI       Daniel Barenboim conducting a concert performance of
FRI       Beethoven's Fidelio - the composer's only opera, which is
FRI       an impassioned defence of freedom and justice.
FRI       
FRI       With a star-studded cast, the work is sung in German but
FRI       with an English narration devised by the scholar and
FRI       historian Edward Said. The opera's themes are given a
FRI       particular poignancy by the participation of the
FRI       West-Eastern Divan Orchestra - the ground-breaking group
FRI       founded ten years ago by Barenboim and Said which brings
FRI       together young Israeli and Arab musicians and continues to
FRI       serve as a beacon of trust, understanding and dialogue
FRI       between nations in conflict.
