SUN SUN 12:00 Private Passions b04sv2wh (Listen) SUN Anthony Green SUN SUN Anthony Green, senior Royal Academician, is one of the UK's SUN most eminent and best-loved figurative painters. His career SUN as an artist has now spanned fifty years, and his brightly SUN coloured, irregularly-shaped SUN paintings and sculptures are exhibited across the world, in SUN galleries including the Royal Academy, the Scottish National SUN Gallery, and the Met in New York. Many of them explore SUN autobiographical themes; in painting after painting he's SUN recorded family life, at home, in bed, making love to his SUN wife even. SUN SUN In Private Passions, Anthony Green looks back on his life as SUN an artist; he explains the crucial importance of meeting his SUN wife back when they were both students at the Slade - SUN through her, he found his identity as a painter. He talks SUN about watching fashions come and go in art, and explains why SUN he is determined to explore religious subjects in his work, SUN even though he knows it puts him outside the mainstream. And SUN he confesses to being an incorrigible optimist, who loves SUN this life, and fully expects to enjoy the next. SUN SUN Music choices include Charles Trenet, Bach, Wagner, Noel SUN Coward, Beethoven's Emperor Piano Concerto, and Eric Idle - SUN 'for the coffee breaks in the studio'.

SUN SUN 14:00 The Early Music Show b04sv2wk (Listen) SUN Lost Sounds SUN SUN Clare Salaman on forgotten instruments which were once part SUN of everyday musical life. SUN SUN Clare considers why instruments which were once part of SUN musical life - such as the vielle, the bray harp, the hurdy SUN gurdy and SUN the viola organista - are now rarely heard. Some were SUN particularly suited to certain styles of music and unable to SUN keep up when fashions changed. Others, while astonishing, SUN intriguing and even beautiful in their design proved totally SUN impractical for everyday use. Clare chooses recordings of SUN some of these lost instruments, which create sounds which SUN are very rarely heard today. SUN SUN The programme also includes the launch of the 2015 NCEM SUN Young Composers Award.

SUN SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature b04sv2wt (Listen) SUN A Cultural History of the Plague SUN SUN Laura Ashe's documentary discovers how plague has changed SUN our social and cultural landscape - a prelude to Radio 3's SUN broadcast over the next two weeks of a dramatisation in ten SUN parts of one of the great SUN plague-inspired works of literature Giovanni Boccaccio's The SUN Decameron, set amongst a group of 14th century Florentines, SUN sheltering from the Black Death. SUN SUN The disease moved West into Europe from China along trade SUN routes in the 1340s, travelling around one mile per day. It SUN killed between one and two thirds of those infected - you SUN could be perfectly healthy in the morning, and dead by late SUN afternoon. 1348 was 'the year the pestilence of men raged in SUN England' and it never really went away until the last great SUN visitation, in 1665. SUN SUN Laura Ashe visits the site of a plague pit with historian SUN Richard Barnett to discuss the physical marks left by it on SUN our cities; discusses the plague's legacy in folklore with SUN Diane Purkiss at an abandoned 'plague village' in SUN Oxfordshire; visits the British Museum Print Room to examine SUN the Holbein's Dance of Death woodcuts; and explores the SUN cultural legacy of the plague from Daniel Defoe's 'A Journal SUN of the Plague Year' to the current craze for zombie movies. SUN SUN We hear voices of plague victims and witnesses from across SUN Europe - priests and monks from the fourteenth century; and SUN the plague as it appears in literature from Chaucer, SUN Langland and Boccaccio, to Defoe and Camus. And Laura SUN discusses with virologist John Oxford the ways in which our SUN cultural memories and fears of plague inform our response to SUN contemporary emergences - particularly Ebola. More than SUN three centuries after the last European outbreak, the plague SUN continues to grip our imaginations as firmly as ever.

SUN SUN In Linda Marshall Griffiths' powerful original drama two SUN friends release a film onto the SUN internet exposing a military operation that they believe SUN constitutes murder. But truth is complicated and the SUN consequences of their actions tear their world to pieces.

Dream of SUN White Horses examines this and the consequences, the SUN conflicts and the motives of the whistle-blowers. It throws SUN into question what we risk in the release of this SUN information; behind the information are real people, flawed SUN people whose lives will be changed forever.

MON MON 12:00 Composer of the Week b00df51j (Listen) MON Lord Berners, Berners the Humorist MON MON Gerald Tyrwhitt-Wilson, the 14th Lord Berners, was a MON painter, novelist, writer of poetry and nonsense verse, and MON a composer of brilliant and whimsical music. He was famous MON for his wit and and outlandish MON behaviour. His eccentricities marked him out as a very MON English Englishman, but his music was a different matter MON entirely. Unlike many of his contemporaries on the British MON musical scene, he developed a distinctly European slant to MON his compositions, and came to be regarded as one of the MON truly original composers of the early 20th century.

MON MON 22:00 Sunday Feature b03y1460 (Listen) MON Music and the Jews, There's a Place for Us MON MON Norman Lebrecht presents the second of three programmes MON examining the complex relationship between music and Jewish MON identity. MON MON Spanning thousands of years, from King David and the MON creation of the Psalms, to MON composers writing today including Steve Reich and Robert MON Saxton, Norman uncovers a wealth of fascinating stories MON about the role music has played at some of the key points in MON Jewish history. MON MON Women, in the Jewish religion, are not meant to sing, and MON yet Jewish women have shrugged off that inhibition to become MON some of the most powerful figures in the popular MON imagination. We hear from some of the most successful women MON singing in Israel - and indeed on the world stage - today, MON including the eighth-generation Yiddish singer Myriam Fuks MON and Achinoam Nini, the latest in a long line of iconic MON Jewish women of Yemenite origin. Michael Grade remembers his MON grandmother's passion for Sophie Tucker, and the promoter MON Harvey Goldsmith explains why Jewish women have had such a MON huge impact on music over the past half century. We also MON hear from Dr Tova Gamliel about the extraordinarily powerful MON role of women in the religious practices of Yemen. MON MON With contributions from Rabbi Shlomo Levin, Dr Gila Flam, MON the Yiddish singer Myriam Fuks, former Chairman of the BBC, MON Michael Grade, promoter Harvey Goldsmith, Ladino singers MON Kohava and Yasmin Levy, the Yemenite singer Achinoam Nini, MON and Dr Tova Gamliel of Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv. MON MON Producer Emma Bloxham. MON MON 22:45 The Essay b04sv52m (Listen) MON Decameron Nights: Ten Italian Indelicacies Remixed from MON Boccaccio, Saint Ciappelletto MON MON The one hundred stories which make up Giovanni Boccaccio's MON humane and comic masterpiece, come from all over the world. MON This Renaissance work is considered a landmark in the MON history of literature. MON MON The stories MON are vividly reset by Boccaccio among the flourishing MON merchant classes in the cities of fourteenth-century Italy. MON But their witty, satirical, bawdy voice sounds utterly MON modern, and their subjects - love, fate, sex, religion, MON morality - are universal. MON MON Radio 3 is retelling ten of these choice Florentine Fancies, MON adapted from Boccaccio by Robin Brooks, and introduced by MON Terry Jones. Like the original, our stories are told over MON ten days, each of which has its own theme. You can hear them MON every evening at 2245, and in omnibus form on Sunday MON evenings in Drama on 3. MON MON The music for the series is arranged and performed by Robert MON Hollingworth, Director of I Fagiolini, and the lutenist MON Paula Chateauneuf, with translations by Silvia Reseghetti. MON The script consultant is Guyda Armstrong. MON MON Today's theme is: "Luckily, God listens to the sincerity of MON our prayers, and takes no account of their ignorance..." MON MON All is not what it seems, when a fourteenth-century Tony MON Soprano makes his deathbed confession. MON MON Giovanni Boccaccio was born to a Florentine banking family MON in 1313. After an unsuccessful start in law, he turned to MON his true love: poetry. A humanist and a pupil of Petrarch, MON Boccaccio's Latin poetry was famous across Europe, and MON provided the sources for his near-contemporary Chaucer's MON Troilus and Criseyde, and The Knight's Tale. But his real MON innovation was the vibrant, vernacular prose in which he MON wrote The Decameron. Beautifully realised in the teeming MON voices of merchants and prostitutes, knights and nuns, MON shopkeepers and conmen, these one hundred stories have MON become a bedrock of our storytelling tradition, mined ever MON since by Chaucer, Shakespeare, Moliere, Lope de Vega, MON Christine de Pizan, Swift, Keats, Shelley, Tennyson, Edgar MON Allan Poe, Caryl Churchill and many more. MON MON Credits MON Writer: Giovanni Boccaccio MON Adaptor: Robin Brooks MON Performer: Robert Hollingworth MON Performer: Paula Chateauneuf MON Ciappelletto: Colin McFarlane MON Musciatto: Sam Dale MON Holy Friar: Michael Bertenshaw MON Federico: Monty d'Inverno MON Anselmo: Paul Heath MON Doctor: Ian Conningham MON Producer: Jonquil Panting MON Director: Jonquil Panting MON MON 23:00 Jazz on 3 b040hwwl (Listen) MON Polar Bear MON MON Iconoclastic five-piece Polar Bear perform new music from MON their album Each and Every One, in concert at London's XOYO. MON MON Led by drummer Sebastian Rochford, Polar Bear have been MON central to the MON British MON experimental scene for the past decade, with their unique MON brand of genre-bending post-jazz. On previous outings their MON sound has embraced everything from punk to hip hop, however MON their latest record sees a shift to more intense and MON expansive territory - with warm electronic flavours MON seamlessly integrated at the heart of the music. Twisting, MON long-form compositions come to life through the saxophone MON melodies of Mark Lockheart and Peter Wareham, whilst MON electronics whiz Leafcutter John, bassist Tom Herbert and MON Rochford anchor the sound in hypnotic rhythms. MON MON Also in the programme, journalist Marcus O'Dair explores how MON electronic music and production are shaping the structure of MON jazz today.

Domenico TUE Scarlatti's pithy Sonatas pack a world of colour and feeling TUE into just a few minutes. Beethoven's Op 126 Bagatelles were TUE the last important piano work he ever composed; his TUE manuscript calls them a "cycle of trifles": they may be a TUE cycle, but they're certainly not trifles! Like Chopin's TUE Ballades and the Preludes by Shostakovich and Rachmaninov, TUE they have a weight and depth out of proportion with their TUE brevity. Yevgeny Sudbin concludes with a powerful sonata by TUE Prokofiev - inspired by Beethoven, and reflecting the dark TUE times of the Second World War: Prokofiev completed it in the TUE Georgian capital Tblisi where he'd beeen evacuated as the TUE Nazis advanced ever further into Russia.

TUE This Renaissance work is considered a landmark in world TUE literature. TUE TUE The stories are vividly TUE reset by Boccaccio among the flourishing merchant classes in TUE the cities of fourteenth-century Italy. But their witty, TUE satirical, bawdy voice sounds utterly modern, and their TUE subjects - love, fate, sex, religion, morality - are TUE universal. TUE TUE Radio 3 is retelling ten of these choice Florentine Fancies, TUE adapted from Boccaccio by Robin Brooks, and introduced by TUE Terry Jones. Like the original, our stories are told over TUE ten days, each of which has its own theme. You can hear them TUE every evening in the Essay, and in omnibus form on Sunday TUE evenings in Drama on 3. TUE TUE The music for the series is arranged and performed by Robert TUE Hollingworth, Director of I Fagiolini, and the lutenist TUE Paula Chateauneuf, with translations by Silvia Reseghetti. TUE The script consultant is Guyda Armstrong. TUE TUE Today's theme is "Lovers who, after many disasters, finally TUE find happiness." TUE TUE Courtly Federigo spends every last groat trying to win the TUE affections of the beautiful Monna. But there is only one TUE thing of his that she wants. And it has feathers. TUE TUE Giovanni Boccaccio was born to a Florentine banking family TUE in 1313. After an unsuccessful start in law, he turned to TUE his true love: poetry. A humanist and a pupil of Petrarch, TUE Boccaccio's Latin poetry was famous across Europe, and TUE provided the sources for his near-contemporary Chaucer's TUE Troilus and Criseyde, and The Knight's Tale. But his real TUE innovation was the vibrant, vernacular prose in which he TUE wrote The Decameron. Beautifully realised in the teeming TUE voices of merchants and prostitutes, knights and nuns, TUE shopkeepers and conmen, these one hundred stories have TUE become a bedrock of our storytelling tradition, mined ever TUE since by Chaucer, Shakespeare, Moliere, Lope de Vega, TUE Christine de Pizan, Swift, Keats, Shelley, Tennyson, Edgar TUE Allan Poe, Caryl Churchill and many more.

THU THU They are vividly reset by Boccaccio among the flourishing THU merchant classes in the cities of THU Renaissance Italy. But their witty, satirical, bawdy voice THU sounds utterly modern, and their subjects - love, fate, sex, THU religion, morality - are universal. THU THU Radio 3 is retelling ten of these choice Florentine Fancies, THU adapted from Boccaccio by Robin Brooks, and introduced by THU Terry Jones. Like the original, our stories are told over THU ten days, each of which has its own theme. You can hear them THU every evening in the Essay, and in omnibus form on Sunday THU evenings in Drama on 3. THU THU The music for the series is arranged and performed by Robert THU Hollingworth, Director of I Fagiolini, and the lutenist THU Paula Chateauneuf, with translations by Silvia Reseghetti. THU The script consultant is Guyda Armstrong. THU THU Today's theme: "The best ways to take revenge." THU THU When Zeppa discovers his wife with his best friend, he's THU keen to make a proportionate response. THU THU Giovanni Boccaccio was born to a Florentine banking family THU in 1313. After an unsuccessful start in law, he turned to THU his true love: poetry. A humanist and a pupil of Petrarch, THU Boccaccio's Latin poetry was famous across Europe, and THU provided the sources for his near-contemporary Chaucer's THU Troilus and Criseyde, and The Knight's Tale. But his real THU innovation was the vibrant, vernacular prose in which he THU wrote The Decameron. Beautifully realised in the teeming THU voices of merchants and prostitutes, knights and nuns, THU shopkeepers and conmen, these one hundred stories have THU become a bedrock of our storytelling tradition, mined ever THU since by Chaucer, Shakespeare, Moliere, Lope de Vega, THU Christine de Pizan, Swift, Keats, Shelley, Tennyson, Edgar THU Allan Poe, Caryl Churchill and many more.

Like the original, our stories are told over FRI ten days, each of which has its own theme. You can hear them FRI every evening in the Essay, and in omnibus form on Sunday FRI evenings in Drama on 3. FRI FRI The music for the series is arranged and performed by Robert FRI Hollingworth, Director of I Fagiolini, and the lutenist FRI Paula Chateauneuf, with translations by Silvia Reseghetti. FRI The script consultant is Guyda Armstrong. FRI FRI Today's theme is: "Tales of great generosity or FRI magnificence". FRI FRI Mithridanes wants to be a wise and generous benefactor. FRI Sadly, his neighbour Nathan is always wiser and more FRI generous. How best to deal with this problem? Wisely and FRI generously? Or ... not so much? FRI FRI Giovanni Boccaccio was born to a Florentine banking family FRI in 1313. After an unsuccessful start in law, he turned to FRI his true love: poetry. A humanist and a pupil of Petrarch, FRI Boccaccio's Latin poetry was famous across Europe, and FRI provided the sources for his near-contemporary Chaucer's FRI Troilus and Criseyde, and The Knight's Tale. But his real FRI innovation was the vibrant, vernacular prose in which he FRI wrote The Decameron. Beautifully realised in the teeming FRI voices of merchants and prostitutes, knights and nuns, FRI shopkeepers and conmen, these one hundred stories have FRI become a bedrock of our storytelling tradition, mined ever FRI since by Chaucer, Shakespeare, Moliere, Lope de Vega, FRI Christine de Pizan, Swift, Keats, Shelley, Tennyson, Edgar FRI Allan Poe, Caryl Churchill and many more.
