SAT SAT A competition to find a design for one-handed musical SAT instruments has been launched in a bid to give disabled SAT players the chance to fully participate in music making SAT across the UK. Tom meets the man behind this new drive for SAT innovative instrument design. SAT SAT Plus - Tom talks to the editor of a new book of letters from SAT musician and Cultural Ambassador Nicolas Slonimsky to his SAT art critic wife Dorothy Adlow. Slonimsky was hugely SAT infleuntial in introducing modern music - and American music SAT in particular - to foreign audiences, through his SAT conducting, writing and lecturing. SAT SAT Tom Service talks to cellist and teacher Zoe Martlew and SAT Professor Susan Hallam of the Institute of Education about SAT the complexities of the teacher pupil relationship in SAT instrumental lessons, the responsibilities of educational SAT institutions in protecting both their pupils and staff, and SAT the ramifications of these allegations for the future of one SAT to one teaching. SAT SAT Former chair of English National Opera Sir Peter Bazalgette SAT has recently succeeded Dame Liz Forgan as Chair of Arts SAT Council England. In his 30 year career in television he was SAT involved in bringing Ready Steady Cook, Ground Force and SAT most notoriously Big Brother to British screens. President SAT of the Royal Television Society, he has also served as a SAT non-executive director of the Department for Culture, Media SAT and Sport. SAT SAT Just a few weeks into the job Peter talks to Tom about the SAT challenges facing the Arts Council as it implements SAT extensive cuts, and his vision for music provision SAT throughout the UK. SAT SAT Russian born Nicolas Slonimsky was a Renaissance man in the SAT world of twentieth century music. Composer, conductor, SAT critic, and lexicographer, he wrote many books including the SAT influential ‘Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns’ and SAT his ‘Lexicon of Musical Invective’. As he travelled the SAT world championing the works of the American avant-garde, he SAT wrote home to his wife the art critic Dorothy Adlow, SAT recounting his adventures everywhere from Paris and Berlin SAT to Havana and Buenos Aires. Their daughter Electra Slonimsky SAT Yourke has edited a new volume of these letters. SAT SAT Tom talks to Electra about her parent’s colourful SAT relationship, and to critic of the LA Times Mark Swed who SAT studied under Slonimsky in 1965, about the polemicist’s SAT unique place in American musical history. SAT SAT This week saw the death at age 58 of the populist leader of SAT Venezuala Hugo Chavez. Over his 14 year presidency Chavez SAT embraced the phenomenon of El Sistema – the vast network of SAT regional music schools and youth orchestras that are a major SAT source of national pride – and his administration footed SAT almost the entire annual operating budget of the SAT organisation. SAT SAT In the wake of Chavez’ death Tom talks to musicologist Geoff SAT Baker about the politicisation of El Sistema under Chavez, SAT who once described classical music as ‘the music of the SAT oppressor’, and the prospects for its future should the SAT opposition party come into power at the next election. SAT SAT There is presently no orchestral musical instrument that can SAT be played with one hand. Any deficiency in one hand or arm SAT makes traditional instruments unplayable, and as a result SAT hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities in the UK, SAT and millions across the world, are excluded from music SAT making. The One Handed Musical Instrument Trust is seeking SAT to address this in a number of ways, including a recently SAT announced competition challenging technologists, inventors, SAT and instrument makers to design and build one-handed SAT instruments that can emulate any of those used in the SAT classical orchestra. The best will be awarded the world's SAT most prestigious prize for creative technology, a Prix Ars SAT Electronica. SAT SAT Stephen Hetherington who founded the trust talks to Tom SAT about the need for this new approach to instrument design, SAT and about his inspiration – his teenaged daughter Amy.

SAT SAT This historical drama, based on a play by Schiller and SAT delivered here in its Italian version, tells the story of SAT the Spanish heir to the throne, Don Carlo, Prince of SAT Asturias, who sees his betrothed lady, Elisabeth de Valois, SAT marry his own father, King Philip II, instead in order to SAT secure a peace treaty. SAT SAT The plot is dense in this magnificent grand opera, SAT originally written for Paris: there's a case of mistaken SAT identities; heretics are burnt at the stake by the mighty SAT Spanish Inquisition; and even the spirit of Emperor Charles SAT V comes back from the dead to rescue the opera's tortured SAT hero. SAT SAT In a starry cast, Ramon Vargas takes the title role of Don SAT Carlo; Barbara Frittoli is Elisabeth the Valois; Dmitri SAT Hvorostovsky is Don Carlo's friend Rodrigo, Marquis of Posa, SAT and Ferruccio Furlanetto is King Philip II.

In many places, the enduring giant trees are a SUN symbol of community, a place of gathering, and a location to SUN exchange stories. Storytelling has played a fundamental role SUN in communities across Africa for centuries, with the oral SUN traditions of myths and legends handed down through SUN generations. In modern times poets and writers have often SUN focussed on the effects of colonialism, recent conflicts, SUN and questions of identity. Combining these demonstrates the SUN richness of African literature and the issues facing SUN different nations today. Including music from Africa and SUN beyond.

SUN SUN RS Thomas was a man full of contradictions, but one constant SUN was his passion for birdwatching. Towards the end of his SUN life he said that 'the deity has chosen to reveal himself to SUN me via the world of nature'. He also declared that he SUN preferred to be alone with nature than be with human beings. SUN Bird imagery in particular provided him with a means of SUN symbolising renewal, nourishment and femininity in his SUN poetry, but also of exploring his faith in God. Increasingly SUN towards the end of his life, his bird poems explored the SUN space between faith and doubt. In 'Sea-watching,' he SUN directly associates bird-watching with prayer: 'Ah, but a SUN rare bird is/ rare. It is when one is not looking/ at times SUN one is not there/ that it comes'. SUN SUN In an attempt to recreate the happiest period of his life - SUN his childhood, growing up on the Irish Sea in Holyhead - as SUN an Anglican priest RS moved from the English border ever SUN westward within North Wales in search of native Welsh SUN speakers and the sea. Jon Gower argues that he was also SUN changing parishes for ones where the bird watching was SUN better. Jon first met RS when he was sixteen and was SUN volunteering as a warden on Bardsey Island, and had no idea SUN who the poet was. They exchanged letters and met regularly SUN thereafter, their final meeting being a recording for a SUN radio programme, where, approaching the end of RS's life, SUN they went birdwatching on the Anglesey headland of South SUN Stack and at the tern colonies of Cemlyn. Contrary to the SUN public image of RS, Jon remembers him as a very funny man, SUN and though they sometimes talked of Yeats and the SUN Mabinogion, recalls much more conversation about goshawks SUN and ring-billed gulls. SUN SUN This Sunday Feature weaves together some of the recordings SUN Jon made with RS, with contributions from those who knew the SUN poet and take inspiration from his work. Rowan Williams SUN describes his fascination with RS's poetry, which he sees as SUN pared to the bone, and looks at how he explored the absence SUN of God in his poems. He also addresses the question of how a SUN man who expressed doubt about the existence of the afterlife SUN and who, according to local legend, burned his cassock on SUN the beach at his retirement, dealt with his role as a vicar SUN in a small parish. Gwyneth Lewis talks about the influence SUN RS had on her own work, and reveals that after his death she SUN was given his 'life list' of rare birds, tucked inside a SUN book. His biographer Byron Rogers recalls a man of many SUN paradoxes, who, though a fervent Welsh nationalist, never SUN spoke Welsh to his family, and who, contrary to his image as SUN the 'Ogre of Wales', could show great kindness and humanity. SUN Andrew Motion explores his bird poems 'A Blackbird Singing' SUN and 'The Message', in which birds express divine SUN benevolence: 'a message from God/ delivered by a bird/ at my SUN window, offering friendship'. And poet Menna Elfyn recalls SUN the memorial service for him at Portmeirion when he seemed SUN to come back as a blue tit, tapping at the window, and SUN interrupting proceedings...

SUN SUN How to lose friends and infuriate people - a mockery of SUN manners and morals set amid 17th century French aristocracy. SUN Disgusted with French society, where powdered fops gossip in SUN code and bejewelled coquettes whisper behind fans, poet SUN Alceste embarks on a one-man crusade against fakery, SUN frippery and forked tongues.

This week in Paraguay, she SUN meets one of the world's greatest classical guitarists, SUN Berta Rojas. Plus she visits the Arpa Roga - or Harp School SUN of Asuncion - where the famous Pedersen family of harpists SUN and musicians teach children to play the exquisite national SUN instrument of Paraguay. Producer James Parkin. SUN SUN World Routes gets to the heart of Latin American Baroque in SUN two of the continent's most musical nations. The programme SUN makes exclusive recordings of music and musicians that date SUN from the Baroque period, as well as other traditions that SUN date from before or after the 16th and 17th Centuries. SUN In Paraguay, the focus is the harp which has become the SUN national instrument. Duran hears it in its modern form, SUN visits a harp school where children get off the streets and SUN learn music, and also records one of the only true replicas SUN of a Baroque harp on the whole continent. She savours the SUN unique atmosphere of Misiones where she stands amongst the SUN ruins listening to young students recreating the choral SUN sounds of the banished Jesuits. Plus there's country music SUN recorded on a working ranch and a session with one of the SUN world's greatest female guitarists, Berta Rojas. SUN In La Paz, Bolivia, Duran records the traditional panpipes SUN of Lake Titicaca at around 4000m above sea level. Further SUN down the mountain, there's the Andean sounds of Bolivia's SUN most celebrated group: Los Masis. They're based very close SUN to the spot in Sucre where Simon Boliva declared SUN independence for the continent. And there's music from SUN Amazonian Indians, and Baroque music written by indigenous SUN composers in the 17th Century: performed these days by a SUN youth orchestra in the exquisitely renovated churches of San SUN Jose de Chiquitos.

MON MON Henry Purcell was not just the finest Baroque composer to MON emerge from the British Isles: he was amongst the most MON gifted and influential composers of any age, with a musical MON voice that seemed to both look back towards the Renaissance MON and Elizabethan era, and yet assert a deeply original MON English individuality. MON MON In barely a decade and a half of mature work, before his MON tragic death at the age of 36, Purcell lived through a time MON of political and religious turbulence - writing for no fewer MON than four monarchs - Charles II, James II and the co-regents MON William and Mary - in a huge array of genres. A pioneer of MON English opera and instrumental music, he was also a composer MON of ravishing sacred music, anthems and odes, and a songsmith MON of genius. MON MON This week, Donald Macleod explores a selection of his most MON celebrated and cherished works, peering in through five MON distinct windows on his short life. MON MON Donald Macleod begins this week of snapshots of Purcell's MON life at the very end - by exploring the composer's shocking MON early death at the age of only 36 - a seismic event in MON English musical culture, whose repercussions would be felt MON for many years to come. We then turn the clock back to the MON beginning of Henry Purcell's musical maturity - his MON appointment to the post of organist of Westminster Abbey in MON 1679.

MON MON 22:00 Night Waves b01r5np6 (Listen) MON Matthew Sweet talks to acclaimed Irish novelist Julia MON O'Faolain, whose new memoir Trespassers is a haunting MON account about her own life and the lives of her remarkable MON parents. MON MON The backdrop to Julia O'Faolain's childhood is MON extraordinary. Her father was Director of Publicity for the MON IRA during the conflict as well as a prolific writer. His MON first book of stories was banned and he was summoned by his MON old IRA comrades to be court-martialled for writing it, MON later becomming one of Ireland's most celebrated writers. MON MON Her mother, wrote vivid versions of old Irish folk tales, MON and once said of the Irish Civil War: 'In those days... fear MON kept you from sleeping, but also from getting fat or bored.' MON MON She talks to Matthew Sweet about being an outsider looking MON in, the writer as "trespasser" in Ireland and in other MON countries - France, Italy in the late 1950s and the US West MON Coast during the turbulent sixties. MON MON 22:45 The Essay b01r5np8 (Listen) MON Explaining the Explicit, Julian Barnes MON MON Five different writers consider the reasons why and the MON challenges of writing about sex. In episode one, Julian MON Barnes asks 'Is writing about sex the same as writing about MON any other human activity - say, gardening or cricket?' and MON as a novelist 'what words do you use and what effect are you MON trying to have ?' MON MON In little more than a few decades, perhaps a generation or MON two, western culture has arguably progressed from a largely MON repressed and circumspect attitude to portraying the sins MON and pleasures of the flesh to an altogether more casual and MON certainly visually more permissive approach. How have MON writers and readers, adjusted to these changes and what are MON authors trying to say when they write about sex ? Is the MON written word trailing in the wake of film, tv and video or MON have these media liberated authors from a more timid, and MON possibly less authentic way of writing ? MON MON These essays offer a chance to step back and reflect on some MON of the subtler arguments that can get lost amidst a sea of MON pneumatic imagery. Somewhere between the conventions of MON shock, titillation and comedy lie a whole range of other MON ideas that can be explored when writing about sex. MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b01hz9d2 (Listen) MON Bill Frisell at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival MON MON Jez Nelson presents guitarist Bill Frisell and his Beautiful MON Dreamers Trio at the 2012 Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

It's WED the jaw-dropping finish to a night of myth, poetry and basic WED instincts: from Britten's rapturous 'Serenade' through the WED passionate and visceral emotions of the orchestral WED interludes from James MacMillan's most recent opera, 'The WED Sacrifice'. WED WED 20:10 Twenty Minutes b01r5pry (Listen) WED The Laius Complex WED WED Before the performance of 'Oedipus Rex', the 'opera-oratorio WED after Sophocles' by Stravinsky, Paul Allen sets a millennia WED old injustice to rights in a provocative illustrated essay, WED 'The Laius Complex'. WED WED Who, he asks, was really the guilty party in Thebes in 1000 WED (or thereabouts) BC? The finger has always been pointed at WED Oedipus, and it's true, he did kill his father and sleep WED with his mother. Sigmund Freud took the story and made all WED men feel guilty. Allen lays the blame elsewhere: who started WED the fight at the place where three roads meet? Laius, the WED father, and it's Laius, who should have a syndrome named WED after him. WED WED There are many more instances of fathers killing their sons WED than sons killing their father in the great myths. Abraham WED was ready to sacrifice Isaac. In 'The Orphan of Zhao', the WED great Chinese epic dating back to roughly the same period as WED Sophocles (now being staged by the Royal Shakespeare WED Company), a doctor sacrifices his own son to save another WED baby. More recently, Rudyard Kipling drove his son Jack to WED enlist and fight in the First World War when he really WED wasn't fit. WED WED This is emblematic of all young men sent off to war or other WED kinds of conflict by old men. Freud himself fell into this WED pattern... just why did he disinherit his son Martin when it WED came to the succession of fashionable psychoanalysis? Freud WED installed Jung as his psychoanalytic heir and even talked of WED formally adopting him; his son Martin never recovered, WED remaining erratic for the rest of his life. WED WED Illustrated by Sophocles, James Fenton's version of 'Zhao', WED some Kipling, the Old Testament and Freud's biograhy WED biography, Paul Allen enquiries seriously, but lightly of WED touch, into the nature of the father and son relationship in WED 'The Laius Complex' .

Bruckner's Second THU Symphony, first written in Vienna in the early 1870s before THU undergoing several significant revisions, is performed THU tonight in its 1877 incarnation. It is a work on a grand THU scale -around an hour in duration- and although a relatively THU early example of his work in the form it already THU demonstrates Bruckner's most accomplished lyrical invention THU and sense of symphonic drama. THU The concert begins with a continuation of the BBC Scottish THU Symphony Orchestra's exploration of music from Poland. They THU are joined by the American pianist Garrick Ohlsson to THU perform a work by that country's most famous musical THU protagonist, Frédéric Chopin. One of only a handful of works THU written for forces other than solo piano, his youthful THU Second Piano Concerto is a tour de force for the virtuoso THU soloist, and a demonstration of the melodic and poetic THU possibilities of the romantic-era piano.

FRI FRI Handel arr. Mozart: Messiah (sung in English) FRI FRI Lynda Russell (soprano) FRI Catherine Wyn-Rogers (contralto) FRI Thomas Randle (tenor) FRI David Wilson-Johnson (bass) FRI Huddersfield Choral Society FRI BBC Philharmonic FRI Harry Christophers (conductor) FRI FRI Gottfried, Baron van Swieten was court librarian to Emperor FRI Franz Joseph the Second in Vienna and a famous musical FRI antiquarian who amongst other things introduced Haydn and FRI Mozart to the music of Bach and Handel. The effect on FRI Mozart's musical style was immediate and profound and one FRI practical consequence was that Mozart set about making FRI arrangements of some of the Handel pieces which fascinated FRI him most. One of these was that perennial choral classic FRI 'Messiah'. FRI FRI Mozart changed the orchestration of Messiah, adding FRI instruments popular in his own day such as clarinets, and FRI expanded Handel's original instrumental lines. The result is FRI a fascinating musical hybrid - Handel viewed through the FRI prism of Mozart's own musical personality - and in this FRI version the piece can be considered a distinctive FRI masterpiece from the hands of both composers. FRI FRI In this performance the BBC Philharmonic and Huddersfield FRI Choral Society are joined by a distinguished line-up of FRI soloists and conducted by one of the great latter-day FRI Handelians, Harry Christophers.
