She is to perform the role Mrs Sedley in SAT a new production of Britten's Peter Grimes at English SAT National Opera in 2009. SAT SAT Tom also visits the Brighton Festival 2009 to talk to SAT artist Anish Kapoor, its guest artistic director, who has SAT collaborated on a challenging music programme to go with SAT the rest of the event. Is this the way forward for SAT artistic festivals in the future? SAT SAT Felicity Palmer SAT SAT Mezzo-soprano Felicity Palmer has been used to singing the SAT 'witches and bitches' (her words) of the operatic SAT world - like Kabanicha in Janacek's Katya Kabanova or SAT Klytamnestra in Strauss' Elektra. The latest role she SAT has made her own is the busybody Mrs Sedley in Britten's SAT Peter Grimes - a part she sang at New York's SAT Metropolitan Opera in 2008, and which she is currently SAT preparing for in a new production at English National SAT Opera. SAT SAT Palmer takes a break from rehearsals to talk openly with SAT Tom about her early career as a soprano, the traumatic SAT turning point when she realised she was really a mezzo, SAT and her passion for communicating the dramatic truth of SAT her characters on stage. SAT SAT Britten's Peter Grimes opens at English National Opera SAT on Saturday 9th May, and will be broadcast on Radio 3 on SAT Saturday 11th July SAT SAT Anish Kapoor and the Brighton Festi SAT SAT The work of Turner Prize winning sculptor Anish Kapoor has SAT transformed galleries and city spaces around the world - SAT including his giant work Marsyas which filled the Turbine SAT Hall of London's Tate Modern in 2002. The following year SAT he designed the sets for Peter Sellar's production of SAT Idomeneo at Glyndebourne, and he is now returning to the SAT musical sphere as Guest Artistic Director of this year's SAT Brighton Festival. SAT SAT Tom joins Kapoor, along with chief executive Andrew SAT Comben, at his vast studio space in South London. SAT Surrounded by Kapoor's trademark sensual forms and SAT reflective surfaces they talk about the seaside town being SAT taken over by his sculptures, and how they will be an SAT integral part of the musical experiences. SAT SAT The Brighton Festival runs from Saturday 2nd - Sunday SAT 24th May SAT SAT Music and the Fens SAT SAT Next week the Britten Sinfonia plays two concerts SAT celebrating the Great Fen Project which aims to create a SAT new wetland reserve between Huntingdon and Peterborough. A SAT highlight of the programme is a new piece by John SAT Woolrich, inspired by the sights and sounds of the local SAT landscape. SAT SAT Writer Robert Macfarlane - author of Mountains of the SAT Mind and Wild Places - lives in the Fens and teaches in SAT Cambridge. In a specially written essay for Music Matters, SAT Macfarlane reflects on the Fenland's flat marshlands, SAT and unlocks the connections between landscape and musical SAT inspiration - from Charles Ives to Peter Maxwell Davies SAT and the new work by Woolrich. SAT SAT The Britten Sinfonia's Great Fen Concerts are in SAT Peterborough and Cambridge on Wednesday 6th and Thursday SAT 7th May SAT SAT The Music of Henry V SAT SAT Before his famous days as a wife-killer, King Henry VIII SAT was a cosmopolitan figure for whom art and music played a SAT significant role in life. In addition to being an SAT accomplished singer and lute player he also composed SAT ambitious secular and sacred works. SAT SAT A new exhibition at the British Library reveals how Henry SAT turned from young cultured man into tyrannical monarch. In SAT front of the manuscript of the Henry VIII Songbook Tom SAT joins historian David Starkey - guest curator of the new SAT exhibition - and curator of music manuscripts Nicolas SAT Bell to discuss the place of music in Henry's life.

Massambou Wele Diallo) SAT SAT 7. Yalla (Sangare) SAT SAT All recordings made by engineers James Birtwistle and SAT Simon Tindall SAT SAT LUCY DURAN, who has studied the music of Oumou Sangare for SAT many years, writes the following notes about the songs we SAT hear in this concert programme from the Barbican Hall. SAT SAT Oumou’s song texts are deeply metaphorical and SAT philosophical, reflecting the common beliefs and SAT discourses of Malians, as a way of provoking them to think SAT more critically about their values - especially regarding SAT women. SAT SAT SOUNSOUMBA is the name of a large tree of the savannah. SAT The song compares a young woman to this proud tree, until SAT she is forced to marry, when she shrinks to a small SAT stunted tree. When women marry in the villages of Wasulu, SAT they have to leave their parental home and move in with SAT their husband’s family, often far away. The song reflects SAT on the isolation and grief this causes. SAT SAT IYO DJELI (celebrating of the art of the griot). In this SAT song, Oumou pays tribute to Djekani Djeli, a griot woman SAT singer who lived in Wasulu in the 1960s. The song talks of SAT one of the great problems that female artists in Mali SAT face, even to this day: the belief that women who pursue a SAT profession will be unable to have children. To be SAT childless in Mali is to be stigmatised, which is what SAT people said would happen to Djekani Djeli, only because SAT she was a singer. Until one day, God gave her a child! SAT Oumou draws parallels with her own decision to become a SAT singer, thanking her mother for her support, and she avows SAT that she too will always sing for those who are “true men”. SAT SAT SEYA (joy). In this song, the title track of her most SAT recent album, her first in six years, Oumou celebrates her SAT joyful return to the Malian public. She talks of her SAT pleasure in ordering her clothes when she visits the SAT tailors, and the coquettish way of wearing a skirt low on SAT the hips. In Mali, all women have their clothes specially SAT tailored, to individual designs; this is one way in which SAT they can express their own identity. She describes how SAT young girls go to the market wearing their waist beads, SAT being flirtatious; in short, this is a song celebrating SAT female sensuality and the right of women to enjoy SAT themselves in public. SAT SAT DONSO (hunter). This song reaches deep into one of Mali’s SAT oldest and most revered cultural traditions, that of the SAT hunters’ associations. Hunters are regarded as healers and SAT protectors, upholding the true values of Mande society SAT across the centuries. Oumou uses the special musical style SAT of Wasulu hunters’ songs, usually only performed by men, SAT featuring the loping rhythms of the 6-string hunters’ harp SAT and scraper. She laments the early death of several great SAT artists from Wasulu, including Allata Brulaye, whom many SAT credit with the invention of the kamalengoni, the youth SAT harp that has become the trademark of her own music. She SAT also laments the death of her own father, Bari Sangare. SAT Death is SAT SAT KOUNADYA (good fortune). Many Malian songs reflect on the SAT nature of destiny. This one says, if you are lucky enough SAT to be blessed with good fortune, either in your marriage, SAT your health, or your profession, don’t take it for granted SAT - use it wisely, be grateful, and don’t be selfish. Oh, SAT good fortune! SAT SAT MOGO KELE (one person). This song is about the brevity of SAT life and the need to do something of importance in the SAT short moment we have in the world. Oumou sings: There have SAT been many great leaders and warriors in Mali’s SAT pre-colonial past, but their time is over. Banzoumana SAT Sissoko, Mali’s “old lion”, a great musician, was a brave SAT and uncompromising critic of Mali’s rulers, but his time SAT has gone. You cannot dwell on what others have done - you SAT must do some things yourself. Malians, what are you SAT thinking of? Get on with it! SAT SAT YALA (roaming). This is the only song featured in this SAT programme that is not from her recent album SEYA. It was SAT first released in 2002 on a local cassette in Mali and SAT became a huge hit. It warns young people of the dangers SAT they face when tempted by city nightlife: drugs, alcohol, SAT even prostitution. Oumou criticises men who are out SAT womanising, bringing nothing but problems, but women don’t SAT get off lightly either: she compares those who go out SAT roaming the streets at night to a dog looking for a bone SAT to chew.

SUN SUN 22:25 Words and Music b00k4gc6 (Listen) SUN The Double SUN SUN A sequence of poetry, prose and music exploring the SUN disturbing world of shadows and ghostly doubles, with SUN readings by Janie Dee and Nicholas Farrell. SUN SUN With works by Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, SUN Dostoevsky, Heine, Wilde, Robert Lowell and Khalil SUN Ghibran, interspersed with music by Bach, Boulez, Schubert SUN and Steve Reich. SUN SUN Ever since reading Dostoevsky's novella The Double, I SUN have been haunted by the idea of the doppelganger - the SUN sinister ghostly twin. Not only does it make great SUN fiction, but the idea of the 'shadow aspect' as SUN expounded by Jung, and the embodiment of all our repressed SUN inadequacies, has resonance with all manner of modern SUN anxieties. This episode of Words and Music is an attempt SUN to capture some of the spectrum of great writing on this SUN subject - from the worlds of evil twins, nervous shadows, SUN and slowly disintegrating mental faculties - and ally this SUN with music that not only explores ideas of doubling, but SUN creates its own jittery, confused, and occasionally SUN violent musical narrative. SUN SUN Starting at the lighter end of the spectrum, Robert SUN Dodsley's whimsical 'Song' casts doubts on the SUN surety of human perception, and sets up the gentle SUN dislocation of Steve Reich's 'New York SUN Counterpoint'. Reich, a composer whose compositional SUN practice explores ideas of phasing, placing similar SUN musical material out of sync with itself, seemed a perfect SUN place to begin, and is someone whose work I return to. SUN SUN Eighth century Chinese poet Li Po's, 'Drinking Alone SUN with Moonlight', gives an interesting perspective on the SUN solitary, talking to oneself and the moon, creating in SUN one's shadow the beginning of a more sinister double SUN which is soon joined by Francis Carey Slater's darker SUN 'Shadow' - one borne perhaps from past trauma. It is SUN upsetting recollection that is the theme of Heine's SUN famous poem that follows, where a man encounters his own SUN double staring at his now ex-lover's window, the sense SUN of melancholy heightened by a fragile, wavering 1948 SUN recording of Chopin's fourth Prelude by Benno SUN Moiseiwitsch. SUN SUN Surprisingly no less poetic, psychiatrist Carl Jung states SUN his case for a psychological double, and in a canny SUN fictional parallel Stevenson's Dr Jekyll recalls his SUN theories on the 'primitive duality of man'. Edmund SUN Campion's work 'Losing Touch' for vibraphone and SUN electronics begins to unpick this duality, as the SUN electronics create a nervous, jumpy response to the SUN sweeter toned vibraphone. There is also a touch of the SUN cosmic in the starry interplay between mallets and SUN circuitboards as both readers reappear with Simon SUN Armitage's miniature 'Gemini' - a disturbing image SUN of the celestial twins that speaks volumes within its few SUN words. SUN SUN A multi layered musical double appears next as the twin SUN strands of Bach's canonic two-part invention meander off SUN in joyous self-reflection, but on another level are SUN joined, like a ghostly image in a photograph, by pianist SUN Glenn Gould's distant, disembodied humming. In John SUN Clare's 'For the Vision of Time' the stooped old man SUN who whispers with his alarmingly more upright shadow may SUN well be sharing the same concerns as the Fleet Foxes in SUN their haunting 'Tiger Mountain Peasant Song'. The SUN disembodiment intensifies, with Pierre Boulez's SUN 'Dialogue de l'Ombre Double', as an amplified solo SUN clarinet dances with a taped shadow of itself. As with SUN Gould's humming, here the eerie musical penumbra comes SUN from the speakers being placed inside a piano, the natural SUN reverberations enhancing the sense of dislocation. SUN SUN Duality replaces dislocation in Sir Edmund William SUN Gosse's 'The Twofold Voice', as he imagines a SUN classical double, whilst Mr Golyadkin, the hapless hero of SUN Dostoevsky's novella, comes to the unhappy conclusion SUN that the man sat opposite him is 'none other than he SUN himself, another Mr Golyadkin'. And here the shadows SUN have become real, the internalised fears and inadequacies SUN have taken on human form. Mr Golyadkin's meeting with SUN his double only serves to hasten his mental decline, and SUN the two plodding double basses of Ornette Coleman's epic SUN collective improvisation 'Free Jazz' brilliantly SUN illustrates the division of the Golyadkin mind set. SUN Isolated one on each stereo channel the contrasting styles SUN of bassists Charlie Haden and Scott LaFaro become the two SUN increasingly frantic sides of Mr Golyadkin's splitting SUN persona. SUN SUN As 'Free Jazz' disintegrates into the sound of the SUN sea, the conversation becomes internalised as Mike SUN Barlow's 'The Boat in my Brain' offers a serene, yet SUN confused picture of losing one's mind, and this serenity SUN is reflected in the gentle rocking of Steve Reich's SUN string work 'Duet', as the two violins occasionally SUN strain the timing of their canonic melodies over the SUN throbbing of the strings below. In an extract from 'The SUN Madman' Khalil Gibran imagines not two but seven selves SUN discoursing at night, and it is these seven voices that SUN proceed to wind round each other in Purcell's In Nomine SUN for seven viols. SUN SUN In a brief diversion into the world of the reflected SUN double, we hear Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray selling his SUN soul for the chance to stay as beautiful as his portrait, SUN whilst the distinctly unbeautiful 'Fat man in the SUN mirror' unravels at the sight of what he has become and SUN loses himself in somewhat manic childhood reminiscence. SUN This mania intensifies as the two voices of Steve SUN Reich's early tape piece 'Come Out' grow further SUN apart and multiply, like the voices in one's head, and SUN are muddled by the chirping of Lars Fredriksen's 108 SUN Chinese crickets. The 'heavy animal part' of man from SUN Gosse's earlier poem returns, trying to escape, perhaps SUN like Gibran's seven selves, from inside James SUN Stephen's 'Cage', in a 'busy, timid rage'. And SUN it is this busy timidity that characterises Mr SUN Golyadkin's second appearance - no longer so sure of SUN mind, having been thoroughly unsettled by his double. SUN SUN Heine's Doppelganger reappears too, but this time in SUN Schubert's song setting, voiced with clarity and power SUN by the baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, whose anger at SUN his shadowy double is perhaps a precursor of Jung's SUN 'demonic dynamism'. It is certainly a demonic force SUN that then motivates and delights the transformed Mr Hyde, SUN as he relishes, despite the agonies of his transformation, SUN the possibilities of unfettered wickedness. SUN SUN An excerpt from Bartok's second string quartet, written SUN during the hardships of the first world war, provides the SUN tumbling violent energy that Mr Hyde now possesses and SUN brings us to the climax of Poe's 'William Wilson', SUN where the real and the psychological meet, and in killing SUN his double Wilson has ultimately destroyed something vital SUN within himself, something I'm sure Jung would have SUN agreed with. The agonies both real and imagined hit Wilson SUN with the force of Harrison Birtwistle's orchestral SUN climax, but, as with so many of the texts, it is hard to SUN know how much of this is real, and how much the separation SUN of the conscious and unconscious mind. Paul Auster's SUN poem, 'n memory of myself', brings the journey back SUN to the internal, where maybe this separation has now SUN become irreversible. SUN SUN My thanks to readers Janie Dee and Nicholas Farrell for SUN bringing to such vivid life the double world I had SUN imagined.
