SUN SUN 12:00 Private Passions b04n2zcf (Listen) SUN Kathryn Tickell SUN SUN As part of Radio 3's Free Thinking Festival weekend at Sage SUN Gateshead, Michael Berkeley's guest is the Northumbrian SUN musician Kathryn Tickell. SUN SUN Kathryn Tickell is rooted in the remote hill farms of SUN Northumbria; SUN her grandparents were shepherds, and she grew up playing the SUN Northumbrian pipes and fiddle at village dances. By the age SUN of just 16, she was the official piper to the Lord Mayor of SUN Newcastle and had released her first album. 19 more albums SUN have followed; she was the first folk performer at the BBC SUN Proms, was named Musician of the Year at the Radio 2 Folk SUN Awards last year (not for the first time), and holds the SUN Queen's Medal for Music. She's done more than any other SUN musician to preserve the rich musical heritage of the North SUN East of England. SUN In Private Passions, she talks to Michael Berkeley about how SUN she started visiting old musicians, when she was only nine, SUN taking her tape recorder to capture voices and tunes. This SUN was an oral tradition, so recording the tunes was a way of SUN learning them - they weren't written down. What did the SUN musicians think of this young girl turning up to record SUN them' Most of them, she reflects wryly, were related to her SUN anyway. SUN Kathryn Tickell's lifelong enthusiasm for musical discovery SUN leads to a marvellously eclectic playlist for the programme. SUN She introduces Percy Grainger music for Theremin, the SUN Brazilian composer Chiquinha Gonzaga, the Armenian folk-song SUN collector Komitas Vardabet, and John Cage's Sonata No 5 for SUN 'prepared' piano. Plus a comic song from the Tyneside singer SUN Owen Brannigan and a poem in Northumbrian dialect which she SUN warns listeners not even to bother trying to decipher...

SUN SUN KITTY MARION: SINGER, SUFFRAGETTE, FIRESTARTER SUN SUN Fern Riddell uncovers the astonishing life of Kitty Marion - SUN a German child who fled her brutal SUN father for a new life in Victorian England, where she built SUN a career as a singer and actress in theatres and music SUN halls. SUN But why would a woman like this, in a precarious profession, SUN neither young nor wealthy, become a Suffragette? SUN As Riddell discovers, Marion was driven to protest by a SUN culture endemic in the backstage world: sexual assault. SUN But once she became a Suffragette, Marion soon found herself SUN in prison. Her hunger strikes were dealt with by warders SUN forcing a feeding-pipe up her nose. In one stint in gaol she SUN endured this 232 times. SUN Along the way, Marion had graduated from marching and SUN breaking windows to far more violent activity. She was SUN convicted of burning down a racecourse - but Riddell SUN examines evidence that she was involved in many more fires, SUN from country houses to railway stations. SUN Finally, after war came in 1914, this extraordinary woman SUN was denounced as a German spy. Pressured to leave the SUN country, she faded into obscurity. But, asks Riddell, do the SUN likes of Kitty Marion deserve a more prominent place in our SUN history of the campaign to win women the vote? SUN Producer: Phil Tinline SUN THE POETRY OF SCIENCE SUN Gregory Tate explores why so many scientists have been SUN inspired to write poetry and the relationship between their SUN artistic work and their science. SUN The Cornishman Humphry Davy was a pioneer of modern science, SUN whose lectures drew huge crowds. But, inspired by his SUN friendship with the poets Wordsworth and Coleridge, SUN throughout his life he wrote poems - including one about SUN breathing nitrous oxide. SUN Physician Eramus Darwin; mathematician William Rowan SUN Hamilton; astronomer William Herschel; - all wrote poetry. SUN More recently, the 'father' of the atom bomb, J. Robert SUN Oppenheimer, Erwin Schrodinger, and Miroslav Holub SUN interrogated their scientific work in verse. SUN Gregory Tate visits the Royal Institution in London which, SUN as well as a laboratory, houses a large archive of poetry by SUN scientists, and the lab in Trinity College, Dublin, where SUN Physics professor, Iggy McGovern, develops ideas for SUN synchrotron radiation techniques, and poems. McGovern has SUN written a sonnet sequence on mathematician Hamilton. SUN Using scientific investigative techniques Gregory enquires SUN how has poetry offer scientists a fresh perspective on their SUN research, talking to Sharon Ruston, co-editor of Humphry SUN Davy's letters, Daniel Brown, author of 'The Poetry of SUN Victorian Scientists', and the poets Mario Petrucci, who has SUN a PhD in Optoelectronics, and Ruth Padel, a descendant of SUN Erasmus Darwin. We hear their poetry, and verse by Humphry SUN Davy, John Tyndall, John Herschel and Rowan William SUN Hamilton. SUN Producer: Julian May.

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b04n2zq9 (Listen) MON Alessandro Stradella (1639-1682), The Family Tree MON MON Donald Macleod explores the life and music of composer MON Alessandro Stradella, a man whose colourful life matches the MON brilliance of his music. MON MON Alessandro Stradella's life ended abruptly when he was MON stabbed in the MON street at the age of just 42. By this time he had weathered MON a whole series of scandals revolving around dodgy business MON deals, an affair with his patron's mistress and an almost MON fatal beating by two thugs. Posthumously these events so MON captured the public imagination they were reinterpreted in a MON popular novel and in an opera bearing Stradella's name by MON Friedrich von Flotow. However, dramatising his life has MON unfairly skewed the focus away from his musical MON achievements. In fact Stradella was a highly respected and MON successful composer. He wrote in all the genres of the MON period, oratorios, cantatas, theatre music, serious opera, MON songs, sacred music, and instrumental music - all in all MON amounting to over 300 compositions. His musical language was MON innovative and ahead of its time. He produced one of the MON earliest known comic operas as well as writing the first MON datable work scored for concerto grosso instrumentation in MON 1674, well before Corelli produced his famous opus 6 set. MON Today Donald Macleod looks at Stradella's family tree, which MON has noble connections that can be traced back to the MON powerful Medicis in Florence and to the Papacy in Rome. It MON was through these roots and his father's connections that MON Stradella was first able to make an impression in Rome, the MON seat of the Pope and an important centre of musical MON activity.

But its plot, MON implausible and silly even by MON opera's standards, has prevented it from entering the MON repertoire. MON The sorceress Aithra (owner of a handy Omniscient Seashell), MON conjures up a storm to bring Helen of Troy and her jealous MON husband Menelaus to her Mediterranean island. Her purpose? MON To effect a reconciliation between Menelaus and Helen by MON means of a magic Forgetfulness potion. If Menelaus can MON forget Helen's long infidelity with Paris (and, one MON presumes, the small matter of the Trojan War), then love MON will reign between them once more. Should be simple. But MON what's this? Instead of the Forgetfulness potion, a MON Recollection potion has been packed in the picnic hamper by MON mistake. Whoops. Add in some picnic-disrupting desert MON warriors (among whom there's a dashing prince who inevitably MON falls for Helen), a troupe of elves and, at last, the hoped MON for reconciliation between Helen and Menelaus and you know MON all you need.

MON MON One hundred years since his birth and over twenty since he MON left for his home planet, Sun Ra remains one of the most MON intriguing and influential figures in contemporary jazz.

There MON have been several live recordings of the Arkestra since Sun MON Ra died in 1993 but little in the way of high fidelity MON studio sessions. Furthermore, while Sun Ra is frequently MON cited for his outlandish personality and sci-fi stageshows, MON his substantial achievements as a composer are often MON overlooked. MON To mark his centenary year in 2014, Jazz on 3 presents an MON ambitious studio session with the core 14-strong Arkestra MON under the direction of original band-member Marshall Allen.

TUE TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week b04n5r40 (Listen) TUE Alessandro Stradella (1639-1682), When in Rome TUE TUE Alessandro Stradella makes his mark on Roman society, TUE receiving commissions from all the most influential TUE plutocratic patrons. TUE TUE Stradella's life ended abruptly when he was stabbed in the TUE street at the age of just TUE 42. By this time he had weathered a whole series of scandals TUE revolving around dodgy business deals, an affair with his TUE patron's mistress and an almost fatal beating by two thugs. TUE Posthumously these events so captured the public imagination TUE they were reinterpreted in a popular novel and in an opera TUE bearing Stradella's name by Friedrich von Flotow. However TUE dramatising his life has unfairly skewed the focus away from TUE his musical achievements. In fact Stradella was a highly TUE respected and successful composer. He wrote in all the TUE genres of the period, oratorios, cantatas, theatre music, TUE serious opera, songs, sacred music, and instrumental music - TUE all in all amounting to over 300 hundred compositions. His TUE musical language was innovative and ahead of its time, he TUE produced one of the earliest known comic operas as well as TUE writing the first datable work scored for concerto grosso TUE instrumentation in 1674, well before Corelli produced his TUE famous Opus 6 set. TUE Today Donald Macleod speculates on how Stradella may have TUE completed his musical training and the opportunities he was TUE subsequently able to take up in Rome. It's known he was in TUE the service of Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna, a member of one of TUE the richest and most influential families. Able to mix in TUE noble circles, Stradella's interaction with the best poets, TUE writers, artists and musicians of the day resulted in a TUE wealth of new compositions.

THU THU 12:00 Composer of the Week b04n5r44 (Listen) THU Alessandro Stradella (1639-1682), Love and the Moral Mindset THU THU Misadventures in Rome force Alessandro Stradella to make a THU hasty move to Venice, where embroiling himself in an affair THU of the heart has disastrous consequences. THU THU Stradella's life ended abruptly when he was THU stabbed in the street at the age of just 42. By this time he THU had weathered a whole series of scandals revolving around THU dodgy business deals, an affair with his patron's mistress THU and an almost fatal beating by two thugs. Posthumously these THU events so captured the public imagination they were THU reinterpreted in a popular novel and in an opera bearing THU Stradella's name by Friedrich von Flotow. However THU dramatising his life has unfairly skewed the focus away from THU his musical achievements. In fact Stradella was a highly THU respected and successful composer. He wrote in all the THU genres of the period, oratorios, cantatas, theatre music, THU serious opera, songs, sacred music, and instrumental music - THU all in all amounting to over 300 hundred compositions. His THU musical language was innovative and ahead of its time, he THU produced one of the earliest known comic operas as well as THU writing the first datable work scored for concerto grosso THU instrumentation in 1674, well before Corelli produced his THU famous Opus 6 set. THU Today, Donald Macleod follows the scandalous events that led THU to Stradella's ostracisation from two cities. After a failed THU attempt at marriage broking enrages the Pope's Secretary of THU State, Stradella flees from Rome. Settling in Venice, it's THU not long before a romantic entanglement with his patron's THU mistress causes further problems.

THU THU 14:00 Afternoon on 3 b04n5rzk (Listen) THU Not one but three love triangles, a love potion, wounded THU pride, and a poison tree are all part of the heady mix of THU the rather un-PC plot of Meyerbeer's L'Africaine. Driven, THU impetuous and the possessor of a THU massive ego, Vasco da Gama is thwarted by rival explorer Don THU Pedro in his attempt to gain royal backing for an expedition THU to the uncharted zone beyond Africa. Vasco nonetheless sets THU sail, in bitter pursuit of Don Pedro who also happens to be THU married to Inès, Vasco's old flame. Taking with him a couple THU of slaves from a previous expedition, Nélusko and Sélika THU (the proud and regal African woman of the title), Vasco THU catches up with Don Pedro. The Europeans are shipwrecked and THU captured by Sélika's compatriots. With all his countrymen THU executed (and the women marched off to the poison tree), THU Vasco marries Sélika and decides, with the help of a love THU potion, that his new life isn't so bad, after all. But in THU the end, Sélika resolves that Inès is Vasco's real true love THU and helpfully takes herself off to the poison tree so that THU Vasco and Inès can sail back home together to Portugal. THU When it came to L'Africaine, Meyerbeer didn't hold back: THU mid-nineteenth century opera doesn't come much grander than THU this. The monster five-acter, begun in 1837, originally THU clocked in at over six hours (Meyerbeer died during THU rehearsals) but was cut to a more practical three for its THU 1865 premiere. L'Africaine's long gestation and tortuous THU progress to its final version led to various confusing THU anomalies, including references to Indian religion in what THU appears to be Madagascar. But with Sélika Meyerbeer came up THU with the operatic prototype of the ill-fated exotic woman THU whose love for a white man proves her undoing. THU This live recording was made last November at one of Italy's THU most famous opera houses, Venice's historic La Fenice. THU Concludes tomorrow with Acts 4 and 5. THU Plus Strauss from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Penny THU Gore Presents. THU Meyerbeer: L'Africaine (acts 1 - 3) THU Sélika..... Veronica Simeoni (soprano) THU Vasco da Gama.....

FRI FRI Live from St. FRI David's Hall, Cardiff FRI Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas FRI Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius FRI Anna Larsson (mezzo) FRI Barry Banks (tenor) FRI Peter Rose (bass) FRI BBC National Chorus of Wales FRI Bristol Choral Society FRI BBC National Orchestra of Wales FRI Mark Wigglesworth (conductor) FRI As a Roman Catholic, Elgar was naturally attracted to the FRI text of The Dream of Gerontius by the Victorian Catholic FRI convert, Cardinal John Henry Newman. Prayers to the Virgin FRI Mary and souls residing in Purgatory may have been FRI controversial to protestant ears in 1900 when it was first FRI performed, but the imagery gave the composer a wealth of FRI dramatic possibility. From the dread of death, Gerontius FRI passionately declares his resolute faith to be sent on his FRI journey by a priest. On the way he meets a cackling chorus FRI of demons, and angels singing the hymn 'Praise to the FRI Holiest in the height' - a text already a firm fixture in FRI many anglican hymnals by this point, to a tune named FRI "Gerontius". Elgar unleashes the full might of the FRI orchestra, complete with full organ, at the moment when FRI Gerontius finally meets his maker, but it's a blinding FRI flash, lasting only a moment. Finally the angel consoles him FRI with a beautiful lullaby, 'Softly and Gently'. FRI Conductor Mark Wigglesworth was Music Director of the BBC FRI National Orchestra of Wales in the late 1990s. This summer FRI saw his first return to the orchestra since he left, with a FRI performance of Elgar's First Symphony at the BBC Proms, FRI winning superlatives from critics and five-star reviews. FRI This concert marks his long-awaited return to Cardiff at the FRI helm of his old orchestra.
