SAT SAT 12:15 Music Feature b00knsy8 (Listen) SAT Ode to Whitman SAT SAT Rob Cowan explores the attraction to composers of the poetry SAT of Walt Whitman. SAT SAT Whitman's poetry has inspired an extraordinary number of SAT musical works - there are some 1200 vocal and instrumental SAT settings of his verse by, among others, Vaughan Williams, SAT Delius, Bernstein, Ives, Weill, Hindemith, Holst and John SAT Adams - and the 'Bard of Democracy's optimistic, inclusive, SAT radically free voice continues to appeal to contemporary SAT composers today. SAT SAT Some of the earliest settings were by English composers, who SAT saw in Whitman a liberation from Victorian jingoism. He SAT represented instead optimism and renewal, a celebration of SAT free speech and free love. Its timeless qualities meant that SAT Whitman's poetry also became a potent force during the SAT Second World War for Kurt Weill and Paul Hindemith, in SAT flight from the Nazis, and looking to forge a new American SAT identity. SAT SAT Weaving together readings of his poetry with some of the SAT music setting his words, and with contributions from David SAT Reynolds, author of 'Walt Whitman's America,' on the SAT influence of music on Whitman's verse, M. Wynn Thomas on the SAT radical qualities of his poetry, and Jack Sullivan on the SAT musical responses to Whitman, this feature takes in some of SAT the wealth of music Whitman has inspired, and discovers the SAT inherently musical aspects of his writing. Music was such a SAT powerful force on Whitman that he saw himself less as a poet SAT than as a singer or bard, and his verse repeatedly alludes SAT to it: "I sing the body electric", "Song of myself", "I hear SAT America singing" are among his titles. Seeing his poetry as SAT a kind of singing, he highlighted American themes but also SAT integrated operatic techniques - the most profound influence SAT on him being, as he put it, "the great, overwhelming, SAT touching human voice..."

SAT SAT In this programme I wanted to explore the idea of altitude, SAT the world of mountain tops, flying through the air and SAT viewing the landscape from above. I have tried to make this SAT a poetic journey upwards from terra firma (albeit a terra SAT firma several thousand feet above sea level) through the SAT atmosphere and into space. SAT SAT So we begin with evocations of mountains: Strauss's SAT wonderful, brooding beginning to his Alpine Symphony, and SAT John Evelyn's awestruck response to an alpine walk above the SAT cloudline; and move on to descriptions of clouds in poetry SAT (Shelley) and music (Rimsky-Korsakov). Thereafter we ascend SAT into the realm of birds, with two of the greatest poets of SAT the avian, Ted Hughes and Pablo Neruda, painting contrasting SAT pictures of birds on the wing: one all rapid movement and SAT agility, the other far aloft and still. SAT SAT We go still higher into the stratosphere with a pair of SAT lyrics about powered flight: Thom Gunn's poem about a plane SAT above Kansas, and Laurie Anderson's delightfully off-beat SAT song set on a commercial airliner. The sequence closes with SAT a trio of poems looking up into the heavens. SAT SAT Many of my music choices have explicit links with the theme: SAT Liszt and Strauss spent much time in the Alps and reflected SAT this in their music, while the Sibelius symphony, although SAT abstract in conception, was written on a mountainside and is SAT - to me, at least - hugely evocative of the Finnish SAT landscape. SAT SAT Sometimes the character of the music suggested a connection SAT with the poetry: on reading Ted Hughes's poem A Dove I was SAT reminded of the helter-skelter virtuosity of Peter Racine SAT Fricker's Badinerie, while the Mondonville and Messiaen SAT seemed complementary to the poetry they accompany. SAT SAT Other connections are more playful: the inclusion of a Bach SAT fugue plays on the fact that the word "fugue" derives from SAT the Italian fuga ("flight"). The final poem, Gerard Manley SAT Hopkins's intimate "I am like a slip of comet", seemed in my SAT mind to blend naturally into the opening bars of Holst's SAT Neptune, whose female chorus fading away into oblivion SAT provides a suitably celestial close.

In the past few SUN years he has also released several albums of his own, and in SUN 2007 he composed his first suite for symphony orchestra. He SUN works as part of the art collective Luxor, with the ballet SUN dancer Anna-Mi Fredriksson and the artist Pauline Amos. SUN SUN His eclectic personal musical choices include an early SUN 16th-century motet by the French composer Jean Mouton, an SUN aria from the 1735 opera 'Polifemo' by the Italian composer SUN Nicolo Porpora, and another from Bellini's opera 'La SUN sonnambula', sung by Maria Callas; part of Mozart's Clarinet SUN Quintet, played by David Shifrin and the Emerson Quartet; SUN the opening movement of Stravinsky's Symphony in Three SUN Movements, and the last part of the music Benjamin Britten SUN wrote in the 1930s for the GPO film 'Night Mail'.

He was also a tragic figure: SUN destined to spend his life searching desperately for a way SUN to communicate, using seances, with his son, Raymond, killed SUN on the Western Front in 1915. Sir Oliver believed he had SUN cracked the thin veil that separates two worlds. SUN Many of those seances were transcribed and form the heart of SUN this new drama written by Adrian Bean and David Hendy.

SUN SUN 22:15 Words and Music b00szxv1 (Listen) SUN A Beat in Time SUN SUN Actors Greta Scacchi and Greg Wise delve into poems on the SUN subject of Time: lives ticking away as the poets contemplate SUN ageing and change, the rhythm of life, and clocks themselves SUN - objects that rule our lives. With poems and prose by SUN Virginia Woolf, TS Eliot, Sylvia Plath and Shakespeare and SUN music by Haydn, Ravel, John Cage, Bach and Philip Glass. SUN SUN Time is the Words and Music theme tonight – time and the SUN rhythm of life, so connected with sequence and order, the SUN shared fabric of music and poetry and increasingly our most SUN valued and scarcest commodity. SUN SUN The poets speak of time from the sands of prehistory, as in SUN DH Lawrence’s phantasmagorical musing on the Hummingbird, SUN right up to the most present-tense of writing, like ee SUN cummings’s ecstatic celebration of life I thank you god for SUN most this amazing day. SUN SUN We’ve also a movingly beautiful archive of the late R.S. SUN Thomas reading his nocturnal meditation on the deity, The SUN Other, in which time is measured in prayers, like waves, SUN breaking on God. SUN SUN And to bring us back to earth, Kit Wright’s poem All Souls SUN is about ageing not so gracefully while listening to SUN scratchy records. Crystal Bacon writes about the SUN out-of-synch ticking of two alarm clocks by her bedside. SUN John Berger contemplates a different sort of out-of-synch: SUN separation and loss, or just the separateness of people, in SUN an untitled poem from his book and our faces, my heart, SUN brief as photos. “How to measure” he asks, “a season against SUN the calendar of your absence?” SUN SUN Greta Scacchi reads the Shakespeare Sonnet “When I do count SUN the clock that tells the time”, set to Brian Eno’s Music for SUN Airports, as well as a wonderfully descriptive passage from SUN Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse. And she also delivers SUN her favourite poem, Sylvia Plath’s Morning Song about birth SUN and motherhood. Greg Wise takes on Kit Wright’s delightful SUN gathering of ‘time-mugged parties’ in his poem All Souls as SUN well as a vibrant rendition of the ee cummings. SUN SUN Personally, I think Michael Ondaatje gets it right when he SUN writes strange how… however briefly, bedraggled history SUN focuses.

The result is a fascinating retrospective of MON half a century of creativity, with the artist himself as MON tour guide. Along the way, he explodes a few myths about the MON inner workings of musical theatre. MON In the first of the week's programmes, Sondheim talks about MON his childhood, his parents' divorce, his near-adoption by MON the Hammerstein family and his apprenticeship with Oscar MON Hammerstein, the lyricist of Oklahoma! Then there's the MON rollercoaster ride of his early career: his first, abortive MON Broadway show; two amazing breaks, when he was commissioned MON to write the lyrics for first West Side Story, then Gypsy; MON his unhappy collaboration with Richard Rogers; and his major MON creative breakthrough with Company, a musical with MON situations and characters but no conventional plot, and the MON first appearance of characteristic Sondheim subject-matter - MON the virtual impossibility of forming good relationships. As MON one British critic observed, "It is extraordinary that a MON musical, that most trivial of forms, should be able to MON plunge as Company does, with perfect congruity, into the MON profound depths of human perplexity and misery.".

TUE TUE In the first programme, Tristram traces the story of British TUE geographer Sir Halford Mackinder and his 'Heartland Theory'. TUE Mackinder argued that the geography of Eurasia meant that TUE Russia and its border countries constituted a vast fortress, TUE land-locked and impregnable - and that if this 'Heartland' TUE ever fell under the control of a single Great Power, it TUE would give it the potential to dominate the world. TUE TUE HIs idea, first aired in 1904, was largely ignored in TUE Britain, but in the years after World War I, it was taken up TUE - and twisted into a disturbing new shape - by a German TUE geopolitician called Karl Haushofer. Haushofer tutored Hess TUE and Hitler while they were in prison in Munich in the 1920s. TUE Haushofer drew on Mackinder to argue that Germany should TUE form a grand alliance with Russia and Japan, in order to TUE dominate the Heartland. TUE TUE So when news of the Nazi-Soviet Pact surprised the world in TUE 1939, US interest in Mackinder's theory spread like TUE wildfire. In the early 1940s, books, articles and even a TUE Frank Capra propaganda movie - which Tristram watches with TUE Mackinder's biographer - spelt out Haushofer's perversion of TUE Mackinder's idea into a 'Nazi plan for world domination'. TUE TUE As it became clear that Germany would lose, the elderly TUE Mackinder was reached in his West Country bolthole by New TUE York's Foreign Affairs magazine. FA's Managing Editor shows TUE Tristram the letters between his predecessor and Mackinder, TUE and explains how the resulting article helped to set the TUE stage for post-war geopolitics.

This third programme WED focuses on just two musicals: Sweeney Todd, widely regarded WED as Sondheim's masterpiece, an extraordinarily powerful work WED which he has modestly described as "a small and scary WED evening about the need for revenge"; and Merrily We Roll WED Along, a tale of disintegrating friendships and compromised WED idealism, narrated, in a characteristic structural twist, WED backwards. Sweeney Todd was a huge success and is widely WED performed today, from schools (in a special educational WED edition) to opera houses; despite a marvellous score, WED Merrily We Roll Along failed to catch the public mood and WED remains Sondheim's biggest flop to date. Among other topics, WED Sondheim also discusses his long-time collaboration with WED director Hal Prince, the logistics of working with an WED orchestrator, and the heart attack he suffered in 1979, just WED three weeks after the opening of Sweeney.

WED WED In 1874 it was decided that one of the many industrial WED exhibitions still being held at the Kensington Gardens site WED should be on the subject of wine. Submissions were invited WED from around the world, and flooded in. Flooded in, that is, WED mostly from Portugal. For reasons obscured by the mists of WED time nobody really heard about it, and the cellars of the WED Royal Albert Hall ended up stuffed with undrunk vintages. WED One man had an idea, Major-General Henry Young Darracott WED Scott, who had been the chief engineer for the completion of WED the hall itself: a co-operative wine society should be WED started to polish off the wine. WED WED Today the Wine Society lives on, and tonight we get a chance WED to sample the kinds of wines drunk in 1874 with the help of WED Scott's successors at the society. WED WED But there's more to this story than oenophilic extravagance. WED Scott was a fascinating man in his own right, and with WED architect Maxwell Hutchinson we discover the extraordinary WED challenges taken on by Scott when he had to take over the WED building of the Hall in its final stages. WED There's a personal connection too: Scott was a military WED civil engineer, serving in the same regiment as Hutchinson's WED father. Could Scott's background explain the somewhat WED unusual ventilation system the hall opened with, and it's WED famously problematic acoustic? Look at the frieze around its WED dome and you'll also find a radical new form of concrete WED pioneered by Scott and whose secrets are still not fully WED understood. We get a sense of Scott's more eccentric side WED too. In his spare time the engineer was attempting to WED perfect a method of solidifying London's sewage with the aim WED of turning it to entrepreneurial advantage. By all accounts WED he didn't get further than creating an almighty stink. WED WED And back at the hall we get a sense of a broader legacy. WED Scott was a key part of the process which saw money from the WED 1851 Great Exhibition used for the permanent benefit of WED everyday people through special events and shows. And it's a WED legacy surviving to this day, something the custodians of WED domes and Olympics might well view with interest.

Whether it was his own WED self-taught piano playing or CDs of everything from WED Beethoven to Bob Dylan, music built a bridge to their past WED life: all five children had played instruments, she herself WED the clarinet. Music would calm her, as would reading to her WED - she used to be an English lecturer. WED WED Familiar with TS Eliot's exhortation that old men ought to WED be explorers, Edward considered there could be no better WED ground for him to explore than the care of a beloved. "In WED these ways I kept my wife with me. We remained very close. WED Most of the elements that make up the round of daily human WED life had been stripped away; only the essence of what had WED existed between us - that thing we call love - remained, and WED it was wonderful." WED WED Two years after her death, Edward remembers the life and WED love that cannot, in Rilke's words, be "cancelled" and WED continues to be grateful for the closeness her last years WED brought them.

THU THU 12:00 Composer of the Week b00rkdqt (Listen) THU Stephen Sondheim (1930-) THU THU Continuing our series in which Broadway legend Stephen THU Sondheim talks to Donald Macleod. The fourth programme THU features the musical that grew out of a painting; a tangled THU web of fairytales; and a positively murderous show about the THU assassins, and would-be-assassins, of US presidents. The THU painting in question is Seurat's hugely famous A Sunday THU Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, and the work it THU inspired was the Pulitzer-prize-winning Sunday in the Park THU with George, a deeply personal show about the joys and the THU costs of creation. The fairytales are the ones familiar to THU every child, but in Into the Woods they are woven together THU in an extraordinarily intricate way, before completely THU unraveling in the second act. Assassins caused a huge furore THU when it was unveiled in 1990, not least because it happened THU to coincide with the opening salvo of the first Gulf War, THU Operation Desert Storm - under such circumstances, a show THU that climaxed with the assassination of JFK was bound to be THU interpreted as deeply unpatriotic. Sondheim also talks about THU the logistics of mounting a Broadway production, and the THU pleasures of "trancing out" during the creative process. THU THU Produced by Chris Barstow.

Now THU she sees an autobiographical thread in her apparently THU objective definitions. THU THU Winner of the Penn-Ackerley biography prize 2009, Julia THU Blackburn lived for two years in Majorca as a young woman. THU Trying to become a writer, she found herself too afraid of THU words to write. They were 'all so fickle and prone to THU exaggeration or misinterpretation'. THU THU A summer job compiling a dictionary came along via a friend THU of her father's and so she took charge of two letters, with THU instructions to define her words according to English 'as it THU is spoken today', including new words and colloquialisms. THU Her definitions had to be original, and where a word was THU difficult to understand or ambiguous in meaning it needed to THU be illustrated with a short phrase. These phrases reveal THU Julia's preoccupations and passions at the time: her love of THU animals; a love affair just ended; her bohemian lifestyle. THU THU Writing definitions changed Julia's relationship with words. THU She began to 'forgive their shiftiness, their lack of THU absolute clarity' and especially loved 'the more simple ones THU which carried a complex responsibility of meaning... the THU strange poetry that jumped from 'hazardous' to 'haze', from THU 'long-winded' to 'loofah', from 'lop-sided' to 'loquacious'.

THU THU With a new Supreme Court opening in the UK, historian THU Tristram Hunt looks at the idea behind it: the separation of THU powers. He examines how the doctrine was developed by the THU French Enlightenment thinker Montesquieu, who observed the THU British constitutional system in the 18th century - THU comprised of a judiciary, an executive and a legislature - THU and saw it as a way of keeping tyranny at bay. Tristram THU starts his journey in Paris where an absolute monarchy THU during the 1720s led to a fierce underground debate about THU liberty. Ideas flowed between Paris and London and THU Montesquieu crossed the English Channel to better understand THU the English Constitutional system and the English. One of THU the outcomes of this was his magnum opus 'The Spirit of THU Laws', which articulates the importance of the 'separation THU of powers' to defend liberty. This idea was central to the THU framing of the U.S. Constitution and Tristram sees how the THU doctrine is embodied in the layout of Capitol Hill in THU Washington D.C., reflecting the relatonships between the THU Supreme Court, the Senate and the White House. Finally, he THU returns to the new Supreme Court in London to discuss THU whether it is, in fact, a 300 year old British idea returning home. THU THU This series was first broadcast in Autumn 2009.

The Australian Youth Orchestra FRI brings with it music by its compatriot Brett Dean (who is FRI also a former viola-player in the Berlin Philharmonic FRI Orchestra) and by Shostakovich.

The orchestra FRI and conductor Sir Mark Elder are also joined by the young FRI Russian mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova for some of FRI Mahler's songs - settings of poems from the folk-based FRI collection called Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Youth's Magic Horn).

FRI FRI 20:10 Twenty Minutes b00szz7z (Listen) FRI Children of the Revolution FRI FRI Lesley Chamberlain tells the stories of some of the millions FRI of children displaced by the Russian Revolution. The impact FRI of the Bolshevik Revolution, the Civil War and above all the FRI Famine of 1919-21 not only devastated the Russian population FRI but left millions of children without care. An American FRI relief organisation put the number at five million as early FRI as 1918. Through the 1920s unofficial Russian estimates rose FRI to as much as nine million. This figure was put forward by FRI the Culture Commissar Lunacharsky who was among many top FRI Soviet dignitaries of the day who, away from the front line FRI of revolutionary politics, tried to relieve the problem of FRI the gangs of sick and feral children who were in evidence FRI across the country. Leading figures in the campaign to do FRI something about the 'bezprezornye' included the wives of FRI leading Bolsheviks Lenin, Zinoviev and Kalinin. Many FRI troubled articles appeared in the Soviet press through the FRI 1920s. The sting in the tale of this story is the use FRI Communist ideology made of children in general and the feral FRI children in particular. While investing heavily in the image FRI of the child as the promise of a golden future, the more FRI ardent ideologists felt that 'the deserted children, not FRI having grown up in family homes, and therefore free of FRI bourgeois ideas of morality, offered magnificent human FRI material for the work of creating a new Communist FRI generation.' These were the words of the only observer of FRI the situation ever to have written a book about the subject, FRI an emigre and former Duma member from tsarist days, Vladimir FRI Zenzinov. Zenzinov, a friend of the novelist Nabokov, wrote FRI the book in his first years in exile. This talk brings this FRI subject to the attention of British audiences for the first FRI time.

FRI FRI The Garden City was the utopian brain-child of a humble FRI British clerk, Ebenezer Howard. He imagined a new kind of FRI settlement that would fuse the best of town and country, FRI creating not just decent living places for ordinary people, FRI but a new social harmony. Unlike many utopian schemes, in FRI 1903 Howard managed at least a partial realisation of his FRI dream - at Letchworth, amid the fields of Hertfordshire. But FRI as Tristram discovers, the idea mutated, and rapidly FRI migrated beyond our shores. FRI FRI He follows Howard's influence from Letchworth, to west and FRI north London, to suburban Paris and on to New Jersey. And he FRI finds out how a twisted version of the Garden City model may FRI even have had an unwitting influence on Nazi plans for FRI occupied Poland. FRI FRI Finally, he follows the trail back to Britain. Advocates of FRI government-backed 'eco-towns' see them as a revival of FRI Howard's Victorian dream of 'a peaceful path to real FRI reform'. But, Tristram asks, can they really match Howard's FRI achievements? FRI FRI This series was first broadcast in Autumn 2009.
