SAT SAT In this Radio 3 Music Feature Tom meets fellow enthusiasts SAT who reflect upon the profound impact that birds have had on SAT many composers. SAT SAT Experts Mark Constantine and Magnus Robb have compiled over SAT 45,000 incredible recordings of birds some of which feature SAT in the programme allowing birds themselves to take pride of SAT place. SAT SAT Close personal friend of Messiaen's, Peter Hill gives SAT tantalizing glimpses into the personal life of music's most SAT committed bird enthusiast. SAT SAT As Tom discovers, being inspired by bird sound can affect SAT people in many different ways. For a composer bird sound is SAT source material in order to create a work of art, for SAT example the migratory calls from a flock of swans over SAT Sibelius's home in Finland formed the main theme in the 3rd SAT movement of his 5th Symphony. SAT SAT But for an obsessive birder like Andy Roadhouse at Spurn SAT Point in East Yorkshire, birds become the entire focus of a SAT person's life. SAT SAT Tom reflects on composers like Vivaldi, Beethoven and Wagner SAT who have all been fascinated - maybe even intoxicated - by SAT bird sound. From the composition of an orchestral symphony SAT to counting flocks of calling Meadow Pipits, the programme SAT hears just how profoundly bird sound can affect and inspire SAT us.

SAT SAT A meticulous interpreter and a brilliant technician, SAT Pierre-Laurent Aimard is a familiar face at the Proms and in SAT this final Proms Chamber Music of the season, he turns his SAT attention to the revolutionary piano works of Debussy. At SAT the core of the programme is Debussy's Second Book of SAT Preludes - short evocations, improvisatory in character and SAT free in form - they are in Aimard's words "wonderful SAT labyrinths in sound", and there is possibly no better guide SAT through the labyrinth than Aimard.

SAT SAT The idea of mathematics as an expression of perfection SAT unfolds during the programme through pieces such as Bartok's SAT Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta - based on the SAT Fibonacci sequence - and Purcell's Golden Sonata. They SAT represent a metaphysical notion of perfection and of unity. SAT SAT Ted Hughes’s translation of Ovid’s verse poem Venus and SAT Adonis (and Atalanta) narrates the birth of Adonis, the god SAT of beauty. Often considered the ultimate expression of human SAT perfection, physical beauty can inspire complex and SAT multitudinous feelings of desire, love, fear - or for Venus, SAT the goddess of love herself, when she sees Adonis, awe. SAT SAT With advances in medicine and bio-technology, physical SAT perfection has become something that we can construct SAT ourselves. Taking power from the gods, we become creator. SAT I’ve used the score from the 1997 film Gattaca - which SAT offers a meditation on the idea of genetic perfection - to SAT hint at this. SAT SAT As the pioneers traversed the scorched earth of the West, SAT their hopes were for a new beginning, for the discovery of SAT new lands to settle. Their chapter is just one in SAT humankind’s long history of search for the promised land - SAT for Utopia. Szymborska's poem of that name explores how this SAT imagined place may be: an island, in the Polish Nobel SAT Laureate’s poem, where ‘all becomes clear’, and where SAT ‘Meaning lies’. Cunningly, Szymborska explains that ‘For all SAT its charms, the island is uninhabited’ - perhaps suggesting SAT that our search for utopia can only ever fail. Goethe’s SAT hero in The Sorrows of Young Werther has a similar epiphany, SAT which Brahms beautifully articulates in his C-Minor Piano SAT Quartet. SAT SAT Menna Elfyn, the passionate Welsh language poet, offers us SAT some consolation for the disappointment when our quest fails SAT and perfection eludes us: ‘imperfection / is simple, SAT stable’.

SAT SAT The year's biggest musical party at the end of the world's SAT greatest musical festival in what is a special summer for SAT London promises to be a special event. Since taking the SAT nation by storm as the 2004 BBC Young Musician of the Year, SAT Scottish-born Nicola Benedetti has enhanced her reputation SAT as one of Britain's most innovative and creative young SAT violinists and tonight she's playing Bruch's luscious Violin SAT Concerto, a piece often voted the nation's favourite. Also SAT on stage is Joseph Calleja, the Maltese tenor who sings with SAT the grace and elegance of the voices of a bygone era.

SUN Born in Trinidad, he moved to Britain and began his media SUN career as a BBC radio producer. He began his long SUN association with ITN in 1973, first as a general reporter, SUN then as a sports correspondent, and subsequently focusing on SUN international politics - he secured interviews with Yasser SUN Arafat, Colonel Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein, among other SUN notorious international figures. SUN In the 1980s he became the first black TV newsreader in the SUN UK. From 1992 he was the sole presenter of ITV's News at SUN Ten, quickly gaining a profile as one of the best-known SUN faces on British TV, and continued to present the evening SUN news until he finally retired after the 2008 US Presidential SUN Election. From 1999 to 2009 he hosted ITN's flagship current SUN affairs programme Tonight with Trevor McDonald. He now SUN focuses on presenting documentaries and features. He has won SUN more awards than any other British reporter, and was SUN knighted in 1999. SUN SUN His musical choices start with Elgar's 'Introduction and SUN Allegro', which he first heard as a young man played by the SUN Halle Orchestra on tour in Trinidad. They continue with the SUN Prisoners' Chorus from Verdi's Nabucco, which represents the SUN cry for freedom of all oppressed people; an aria from SUN Handel's 'Messiah', which moves him as an expression of SUN faith; an excerpt from Beethoven's Violin Concerto played by SUN Nigel Kennedy, whom he greatly admires as a violinist; the SUN Shaker hymn tune 'Simple Gifts' from Copland's 'Appalachian SUN Spring'; an aria from Act I of Puccini's 'Tosca', and the SUN finale of Chopin's First Piano Concerto, played by Artur SUN Rubinstein, another of his musical heroes.

SUN I already knew that despite its apparently very positive SUN associations with nature, with spring, youth and growth, it SUN had a mysterious, enigmatic, *super*natural side too. But SUN the more reading and listening I did, the more worms I found SUN in the apple: practically every affirmative connotation also SUN held the seeds of its own destruction. Even green traffic SUN lights are no use without red ones. Or maybe that’s just my SUN perspective – after all, as the Wizard of Oz so profoundly SUN points out, ‘when you wear green spectacles, why of course SUN everything you see looks green to you’. SUN SUN We’re invited into the green glen by Niamh Grady with one of SUN the loveliest poems by the man who loved and understood the SUN green ways of the English countryside best, John Clare. SUN George Butterworth called his orchestral piece ‘The Banks of SUN Green Willow’ an ‘idyll’ – but the passion of its climax SUN reminds us that the two folksongs we hear in it (‘Green SUN Bushes’ as well as ‘The Banks of Green Willow’ itself) SUN encompass not just love, but loss, betrayal, death in SUN childbirth, even infanticide. Even in the company of Sean SUN Barrett and his merry men, our image of dallying in the SUN greenwood may be as idealised and nostalgic as John Major’s SUN – or the Kinks’ – Village Green. SUN SUN PG Wodehouse guys golfers, his heroine Barbara Medway SUN cleverly exploiting their sexism to get the rub of the green SUN in her love match. Lovely Joan turned the tables on her SUN would-be seducer – ‘she’s robbed him of his horse and ring, SUN and left him to rage in the meadows green’; her tune SUN features alongside the (very likely unwarranted) aspersions SUN on the virtue of ‘my lady Greensleeves’ in Vaughan SUN Williams’s ‘Fantasia on Greensleeves’. The programme SUN features two pieces of music each by both VW and Schubert: SUN in each case, the first expressing the light of green, the SUN second the dark. SUN SUN I’ve also included two poems that I find haunting despite SUN not fully understanding them. Wallace Stevens’s ‘The Candle SUN a Saint’ is one; the other is ‘The Little Green Girl’ by SUN Spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez – who was apparently fixated SUN on the colour green; I’d love to hear from anyone who knows SUN why! SUN SUN Schubert and Dylan Thomas sing the miraculous joy of green SUN youth. (I’ve always loved Thomas’s ‘Fern Hill’, but I don’t SUN feel his own reading caught its essence; fortunately Niamh SUN McGrady wanted to do it very differently.) Green youth SUN doomed to inevitable loss, like the ‘verdi prati’, the SUN ‘green fields’, of Alcina’s paradise island. SUN SUN Mr Verdant Green, a gullible greenhorn of nineteenth-century SUN Oxford undergraduacy, pairs up with a luxuriant orchestral SUN piece whose composer Michael Torke originally called it SUN ‘Verdant Music’, then purely ‘Green’: he says that ‘suggests SUN a quality that is simple or unseasoned’; yet to me the music SUN sounds a more ominous note. SUN SUN And from here the programme begins to take a more sinister SUN turn. Shakespeare’s Othello succumbs to the green-ey’d SUN monster, jealousy – though when Joe Green (the Italian SUN Giuseppe Verdi) made it into an opera, his lyricist made SUN ‘gelosia’ curiously colourless. The devil himself wears SUN green – in the shape of the cheery chap who greets Chaucer’s SUN summoner with a friendly ‘thou’ (rather than the more formal SUN ‘you’ the unsuspicious summoner employs in his replies). SUN Why green? The theory goes that Chaucer’s devil is a SUN hunter, with bow and arrows – and huntsmen wear green. As SUN Schubert’s miller lad finds to his cost: he’s besotted with SUN the miller’s beautiful daughter, whose love for the colour SUN green follows her feelings for the handsome huntsman who SUN wears it. SUN SUN Dan Pagis’s eerie emerald poem – chillingly translated from SUN the Hebrew by Stephen Mitchell, chillingly read by Sean SUN Barrett – and Peter Schickele and Joan Baez’s eldritch take SUN one e cummings draw us deep into the supernatural. The SUN gorgeous woman in green who tempts Grieg and Ibsen’s Peer SUN Gynt is a troll princess; and not even a legion of SUN Irishwomen can turn the tables on the tricksy little men in SUN green jackets. The Green Knight of Arthurian legend, in SUN Simon Armitage’s brilliant modern English rendering and SUN Harrison Birtwistle’s terrifying operatic music, is no jolly SUN green giant: Gawain gives him the chop, but he doesn’t lose SUN his head, and announces his intention to back with a SUN vengeance next year. And for all the comforting delights of SUN Yellow Brick Road, courageous Cowardly Lion and empathetic SUN Tin-Man-without-a-heart, the Wizard of Oz conceals a SUN decidedly un-magical political message behind the spectacles SUN of his Emerald City. SUN SUN Politics comes to the fore as day turns to night with SUN Wallace Stevens, via Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s evocation SUN of ‘Il raggio verde’, the fugitive last ‘green ray’ of SUN sunset. It was already hard enough to fathom the meaning of SUN William Blake’s Christo-mystical poem ‘Jerusalem’ before it SUN accrued ever more complex layers of cultural associations SUN through Parry’s tune – commissioned by strident supporters SUN of the First World War but rapidly adopted (to Parry’s SUN delight) by Suffragettes – then Elgar’s huge orchestration SUN and the flag-waving Last Night of Proms. The green gas of SUN Wilfred Owen’s searing anti-nationalistic indictment would SUN have been all too familiar to Vaughan Williams, whose SUN experiences as a WW1 ambulance driver on the blackened SUN fields of Flanders underpin his version of Pastoral. Green SUN remains a potent political symbol in Ireland; and has SUN recently become one in Iran, when the 2009 presidential SUN candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi adopted it as his campaign SUN colour (probably at least partly because of its importance SUN in Shia Islam): in the wake of his controversial defeat, the SUN revered Persian traditional musician Mohammad Reza Shajarian SUN and his colleague Majid Derakhshani released their SUN impassioned protest song ‘Language of Fire’ free of charge SUN ‘as a gift to the struggles of Iranian people’: ‘Lay down SUN your gun… The gun speaks the language of fire and iron, but SUN I have nothing but the language of the heart.’ SUN SUN Tom Jones adds an ironic twist to Richard Llewellyn’s SUN yearning vision of a Welsh mining childhood, as we turn to SUN the ‘other’ Green movement. The SUN Lord-of-the-Flies-for-grown-ups fable of ‘The Death of SUN Grass’ by Samuel Youd (writing as John Christopher) grew SUN from an environmental insight as prescient as it is SUN remarkable for its early date (1956). Just over two decades SUN later, the threat of open-cast uranium mining in Orkney drew SUN a defiant twofold creative response from composer Peter SUN Maxwell Davies (who’d made his home there): the enormous, SUN intense ‘Black Pentecost’ for orchestra and solo singers SUN with words from Greenvoe, the first novel by his friend SUN George Mackay Brown, was counterpointed by the subversive SUN cabaret ‘The Yellow Cake Review’ (‘yellow cake’ being SUN uranium ore) – which included perhaps the most beautiful SUN piece he ever wrote, a lament for the town of Stromness. SUN SUN To end, three enigmatic, epigrammatic green views from the SUN Far East, and a final word from the Frog-Prince who really SUN gets under the skin of greenness. SUN SUN David Gallagher (producer) SUN SUN 19:45 Sunday Feature b01mfb2d (Listen) SUN Jacquetta Hawkes and the Personal Past SUN SUN Christine Finn excavates clues in the personal and public SUN life of once acclaimed archaeologist and writer, Jacquetta SUN Hawkes, to explain why she has faded from public memory. SUN SUN Jacquetta Hawkes defined archaeology for the post-War SUN generation. Central to the planning of the Festival of SUN Britain, her films and her regular TV and radio appearances SUN ensured she was a public figure; her best-selling 1951 book: SUN A Land, made archaeology accessible in a novel way. When SUN Christine Finn came across it while studying archaeology and SUN poetry, she could not understand why its author had been SUN forgotten, while her second husband, JB Priestley, with whom SUN she wrote and collaborated, remains well- known. Finn's SUN excavation throws up clues in Hawkes' personal and public SUN life to explain why she was erased from public memory. SUN SUN Finn was responsible for rescuing Hawkes' papers after her SUN death and has championed her work as Hawkes' biographer. Now SUN she celebrates the re-issue after 60 years of Hawkes' best SUN known book, A Land. Illustrated by Henry Moore, it was a SUN unique synthesis of art and geology, captivating critics and SUN public alike, and introducing Hawkes' literary trademark: SUN archaeology laced with her own personal past. SUN SUN In the course of her excavation Christine Finn meets SUN Jacquetta Hawkes' son, Nicolas, JB Priestley's son, Tom, SUN Emeritus Professor of European Archaeology at Oxford - Barry SUN Cunliffe, Roman archaeologist Dr Martin Henig, Professor of SUN Classical Archaeology at Stanford - Michael Shanks, and she SUN visits the Hawkes' archive at Bradford University in the SUN company of archivist Alison Cullingford.

SUN SUN The 1960 Presidential race was the 'Mad Men' election when, SUN for the first time, the politicians and their party machines SUN sold themselves to a public delighting in the new medium of SUN television.

MON MON 22:45 The Essay b014ffyx (Listen) MON The Other Empire, Episode 1 MON MON Julian Jackson uncovers the forgotten - and indeed in this MON country largely unknown - story of the French Empire. In the MON first of five Essays, he tells the story of France's first MON war of decolonisation, a slave rebellion in Haiti, sparked MON off by the French revolution in Paris and led by the MON charismatic Toussaint L'Ouverture. MON MON The French Empire was second only to the British. At its MON peak in the 1930s it covered some 10 million square miles MON with a population of 100 million. It stretched from the West MON Indies to the South Pacific, from Indo-China to the Maghreb, MON from Sub-Saharan Africa to the Levant. The Empire may be MON gone now but its legacy lives on both in France and in the MON former colonies. With a Muslim population of 4.5 million MON today, France, thanks to her former Empire, has the largest MON Islamic population of any country in Europe; couscous is as MON much national dish as coq au vin (or chicken vindaloo in MON Britain). And with recent turbulent events in Africa and the MON Middle East reminding the French and us of the importance of MON these former links, this is a story that is worth telling in MON some detail. MON MON France's imperial story which ended with the Algerian War of MON the 1950s in fact started over a century earlier with the MON first war of decolonization in the French sugar colony of St MON Domingue - now Haiti - in the Caribbean. A slave rebellion MON there, led by Toussaint L'Ouverture, resulted in his MON eventual capture by Napoleon, and death in a jail in the MON French Jura. But despite his capture, in the end the MON revolution was successful, 50,000 French troops perished, MON Napoleon suffered his first ever defeat and Haiti became MON independent in 1804 MON MON Producer: Simon Elmes MON MON First broadcast in September 2011. MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b01mk96f (Listen) MON Fred Frith MON MON Jez Nelson and Stuart Maconie introduce British guitarist MON and composer Fred Frith in a first-time collaboration with MON leading UK free-improvisers John Edwards (bass) and Mark MON Sanders (drums). Frith co-founded the avant-rock band Henry MON Cow in the late 1960s and cemented his reputation on the MON improvisation scene with the landmark album Guitar Solos a MON few years later. He has spent much of the last 30 years MON living in the US, playing with the likes of John Zorn's MON Naked City and experimental rock band Massacre, and MON composing for contemporary music ensembles such as the MON Arditti Quartet and Bang On A Can All-Stars.

WED Written whilst the author was on the run from his creditors, WED the novel has been read as both an over-the-top melodrama, WED and as a profound exploration of the ambiguity of goodness. WED It's also proved irresistible to directors, spawning WED adaptations for stage, cinema and TV. WED Matthew Sweet is joined by the theologian Giles Fraser, WED Russian specialist Sarah Young and the novelist Zinovy Zinik WED WED Producer: Luke Mulhall. WED WED 22:45 The Essay b014fhkw (Listen) WED The Other Empire, Episode 3 WED WED Julian Jackson uncovers the forgotten - and indeed in this WED country largely unknown - story of the French Empire. In the WED third of five Essays, he tells the story of the imperial WED troops who fought for France in two world wars. WED WED The armies lauded by de Gaulle on his triumphant return to WED Paris in 1944, who had liberated Italy and southern France WED were largely made up of black and North African troops. But WED this was not true of the French troops that helped liberate WED Paris because the British, American and Free French had all WED colluded in ensuring that those troops were white.Tonight, WED Julian focuses on the vital importance played by colonial WED troops in the French armies - both in the conquest of other WED parts of the Empire but also in the First and Second World WED Wars.
