Experts, musicians and historians take SAT him through a journey back in time, tracing what little is SAT known about the composer, and what the latest research and SAT findings suggest. SAT SAT Looking at material recorded in different venues across SAT London, where Purcell lived and died, the programme pieces SAT together his life and work. Westminster Abbey reveals SAT information about him as a youngster; the British Library SAT sheds light onto both the man and the musician through his SAT manuscripts and scores; and the National Portrait Gallery, SAT with its Purcell iconography, tells us about the times SAT through which he lived. SAT SAT Purcell in London SAT SAT Continuing BBC Radio 3's anniversary celebrations, Tom SAT Service goes in search of Henry Purcell's London, SAT exploring the city he would have known and recreating the SAT historical and musical contexts that support his life and SAT career. SAT SAT In the company of the biographer and performer Peter SAT Holman, Tom discovers how Purcell's life and work SAT developed in the ever-changing world of 17th century SAT London. SAT SAT They visit the sites of the original Chapel Royal in SAT Whitehall, where Purcell was chorister and organist in his SAT younger years, and the Dorset Garden Theatre where his SAT semi-operas were performed, and they also take a look into SAT Stationer's Hall, the venue where the Ode to St. Cecilia SAT was premiered. SAT SAT Image: The Flowering of the English Baroque by Glynn SAT Williams (Victoria Street, London) SAT SAT BBC - Composers of the Year - Henry Purcell SAT SAT Life in Westminster SAT SAT At Westminster Abbey, Tom talks to James O'Donnell, SAT successor to Purcell as organist of the Abbey, about the SAT composer's life there, and the Keeper of the Muniments SAT Richard Mortimer reveals details of Purcell's pay kept SAT in ledgers of the time. SAT SAT Manuscripts SAT SAT With Sandra Tuppen at the British Library, Tom witnesses SAT the clarity and precision of Purcell's writing by SAT pouring over some of Purcell's manuscripts and discusses SAT the challenges he faced in making a living as a composer. SAT SAT Tom also meets the historian Leo Hollis in Leadenhall SAT Market to discuss the emerging international scene in late SAT 17th century London, and the parallels between trade and SAT cultural life in the city. SAT SAT Image: Autograph manuscript of one of Purcell's SAT Fantasias for viols SAT SAT Influences SAT SAT The conductors Christopher Hogwood and William Christie SAT talk about the foreign influences on Purcell - he SAT somehow defined Englishness whilst incorporating French SAT forms and Italian style - and they both explain what SAT resonance his stage works have for today's world. SAT SAT With the help of the curator Catharine McLeod, a 17th SAT century Purcell portrait in the National Portrait Gallery SAT helps to shed some more light on the man and the world he SAT inhabited. SAT SAT And back at Westminster Abbey, James O'Donnell talks SAT about the outpouring of mourning at his lavish funeral in SAT 1695 (he died aged just 36) which showed how highly SAT Purcell was regarded by the nation. SAT SAT 13:00 The Early Music Show b00j8bvq (Listen) SAT Purcell Weekend - Purcell Keyboard Suites SAT As part of Radio 3's Purcell celebrations, Lucie Skeaping SAT presents a programme of the composer's keyboard suites SAT performed by BBC New Generation Artist Mahan Esfahani.

SUN SUN 22:15 Words and Music b00j8dpm (Listen) SUN Purcell Weekend - Years of Wonders SUN SUN Juliet Stevenson and Kenneth Cranham read prose and poetry SUN describing the momentous times that the composer Henry SUN Purcell would have witnessed. He was a baby at the SUN Restoration of Charles II to the throne, but would have SUN known the Great Plague and Great Fire of London. In SUN adulthood, he would have seen both the accession and the SUN forced abdication of James II in the Glorious Revolution SUN of 1688 as well as the coronation of James's daughter Mary SUN and her husband William of Orange. SUN SUN Readings include excerpts from Pepys, Evelyn, Dryden, SUN Aphra Behn and Defoe, while the music includes Purcell and SUN his contemporaries alongside works from the 20th century. SUN SUN The first known usage of the phrase 'Annus Mirabilis', SUN or 'Year of Wonders' came in John Dryden's poem of SUN that title in 1666. It was actually a year of great SUN calamity for England, with the Great Fire of London, SUN although there was also a great sea victory against the SUN Dutch. The composer Henry Purcell would have been a child SUN of 6 or 7 at the time, and his life spanned some SUN particularly momentous events in English history. SUN SUN Purcell was born in 1659, and the following year saw the SUN Restoration to the throne of Charles II. Samuel Pepys was SUN on the same boat as the King as he arrived at Dover to SUN great public acclaim. But the diarist makes sure that we SUN realise Charles was indeed a mere mortal, having a simple SUN breakfast of boiled beef and being the indulgent owner of SUN a badly behaved dog...Dryden takes the King's journey on SUN to his coronation, with all the hopes of a new and better SUN age. SUN SUN A few years later a strange new comet was seen in the sky SUN - Pepys tried his best to see it, eventually succeeding, SUN and then a new one appeared... With the benefit of SUN hindsight these were interpreted as being terrible omens SUN presaging the Great Plague of 1665 and the Fire of 1666. SUN Daniel Defoe, writing some 60 years later, would only have SUN been 5 at the time of the plague, but provides an SUN insightful and chilling account of that dreadful time. SUN SUN In 1666 the diarist John Evelyn describes a site visit to SUN the old St Paul's with, among others, Sir Christopher SUN Wren, in which they discussed the rickety structure of the SUN old church and the possibility of designing a new-fangled SUN cupola instead of a steeple. But less than a month later, SUN the proposed demolition was somewhat overtaken by events SUN - the outbreak of the Great Fire. Pepys gives his usual SUN thorough account of the scene, not forgetting even the SUN poor pigeons who were loth to leave their perches and were SUN singed, while Dryden compares the progress of the fire to SUN the calculated campaign of a pillaging tyrant. SUN SUN While many were quick to ascribe the horrors of disease SUN and fire to the sinful ways of London's court and indeed SUN general population, the year 1666 also saw an outbreak of SUN rationality and rigorous investigation. As Isaac Newton SUN sat in his Lincolnshire garden one day, (having had to SUN leave Cambridge University owing to an outbreak of plague SUN there), he observed the falling of an apple...Years later SUN he was to describe this, his own annus mirabilis, in which SUN he began to get to grips with calculus, optics and the law SUN of gravitation. SUN SUN In 1688 Purcell would have seen another great wonder of SUN his age - a (nearly) bloodless revolution as Parliament SUN overthrew the pro-Catholic James II and replaced him as SUN monarch with his daughter Mary and her husband, William SUN of Orange. We end with a paean of praise to the new Queen SUN by Aphra Behn, and leave the new monarchs at their SUN coronation the following year, amid fresh hopes for peace, SUN health and prosperity. SUN SUN The words of the period are surrounded with the music of SUN the age - coronation anthems, secular songs, and SUN instrumental sonatas in the fast developing baroque style SUN - it was a good time for English music, crowned by SUN Purcell, and influenced by visiting composers from other SUN lands, especially Italy. But there is also music from our SUN own times reflecting the terror and turbulence of the SUN period - Ligeti's unearthly Lux Aeterna underscores SUN the strangeness of the ominous comets, and Varese's SUN Arcana seems to echo the inexorable menace of the progress SUN of the Great Fire as described by Pepys and Dryden.

WED WED 21:15 Night Waves b00j8wr1 (Listen) WED James Lovelock WED In an extended conversation, Philip Dodd talks to WED pioneering scientist James Lovelock - originator of the WED concept of Gaia - about his remarkable life and the future WED of our planet. WED WED Lovelock's life in science has spanned some of the most WED advanced changes of the 20th century. He worked for Nasa WED on the Mars projects at one of its most exciting periods WED in the 1960s and it was during this time he developed his WED famous Gaia Hypothesis - now Gaia Theory - that the Earth WED functions as a living, self-regulating super-organism. WED WED But the man and his theory continue to divide scientists WED and environmentalists. Despite everything that he has done WED for raising the danger of global warming, Lovelock WED restates his view that much of the Green movement lags far WED behind science. Environmentalists, in turn, are hostile to WED his support for nuclear power as an interim solution to WED the world's energy problems. WED WED Philip asks Lovelock why he has spent so much of his life WED as an independent scientist, living and working at his WED rural home in Cornwall, and asks him to stand by his WED prediction that much of humanity could perish as a result WED of global warming by the end of this century.
