To celebrate the 500th anniversary of the accession of Henry VIII, Lucie Skeaping looks at the manuscript of a choirbook, containing six motets, that was gifted to Henry and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Lucie talks to David Skinner who has recorded these motets for the first time with his vocal ensemble Alamire. This manuscript is one shown in the exhibition at the British Library celebrating this anniversary. Although Henry is perhaps now remembered for his ill-temper and succession of failed marriages, the early years of his reign were a time of great musical activity; he was passionate about music, composing accomplished pieces himself. This programme is being broadcast as part of BBc Radio 3's Henry VIII anniversary commemorations.
All music from a CD entitled “Henry’s Music: Motets from a Royal Choirbook – Songs by Henry VIII”.
Virtuoso violinist Tasmin Little opens the latest postbag of listeners' requests. In the line-up this week, showstopping music by Pablo Sarasate, some mild irreverence from Bach in the form of his cantata 'Quodlibet', and a performance of Schubert's Piano Trio in E flat major, D929. Plus this week's guest, Russian conductor Mikhail Agrest, chooses a favourite Verdi overture.

Janacek's Glagolitic Mass, a cantata for soloists, choir, orchestra and organ, was written in 1926 to a tex in the Old Church Slavonic language; from an early age Janacek had been passionate about the traditions of the Slavic peoples. Stephen Johnson explores this mighty work, playing illustrative excerpts and the whole work from a recording of the mass by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Karel Ancerl.
Aled Jones previews the London Festival of Contemporary Church Music 2009 and talks to experimental vocalist Phil Minton about his Feral Choir.

Mike Walker's play imagines the Jewish-Russian writer Isaac Babel being interrogated after his arrest by the Soviet secret police in 1939. As Stalin's henchmen beat and bully Babel, scenes from his two great collections of stories come to him: the Jewish gangsters fighting over Odessa, Babel's hometown, and the Red Cavalry, with which he had ridden as a war correspondent, slaughtering Poles at the edge of the new Soviet Union.

Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643)
Episode 1
Donald Macleod is joined by scholar and performer Christopher Stembridge to explore the life and work of Girolamo Frescobaldi.
They begin with an examination of Frescobaldi's early years in Ferrara, where he absorbed the city's rich cultural heritage. Alongside excerpts from Frescobaldi's first publications, there is music by the predecessors and contemporaries whose influence rubbed off on him: Josquin Desprez, a former maestro di capella at the Ferrara court; Luzzasco Luzzaschi, Frescobaldi's teacher; Alessandro Grandi, Frescobaldi's younger colleague at the Accademia della Morte; Claudio Monteverdi, whom Stembridge sees as playing Handel to Frescobaldi's Bach; a trio of Neapolitan composers, Gesualdo, Mayone and De Macque; and a Venetian one - Giovanni Gabrieli.
Donald follows Frescobaldi on his single recorded excursion beyond Italy, to Flanders, in the company of the papal nuncio Guido Bentivoglio, then back to Rome and St Peter's, where he worked on and off for the rest of his life.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.
In a concert entitled Mirth and Melancholy, the Ulster Orchestra under Finnish conductor Tuomas Ollila-Hannikainen perform music by Weber, Beethoven and Stanford at the Ulster Hall, Belfast.
The programme begins with the overture to Weber's last opera, Oberon - a concert piece that has become much more popular than the opera itself, picturing a land of fairies and the spirits of air, earth and water - which is followed by Dutch pianist Ronald Brautigam in Beethoven's last Piano Concerto.
A performance of Stanford's Fifth Symphony concludes the concert. Inspired by Milton's L'Allegro ed il penseroso, it contrasts mirth and melancholy.

History of the Druids
Matthew Sweet and Ronald Hutton, professor of History at Bristol University discuss the 2,000-year history of the Druids in Britain, looking at how they have been continually reinvented over the last 300 years by visionaries, radicals and fraudsters.
Crushed by the Romans in the first century AD, the ancient Druids left almost no reliable evidence behind. Because of this, succeeding British generations have been free to reimagine, reinterpret and reinvent them. Druids have been remembered at different times as patriots, scientists, philosophers and priests. They have been portrayed as corrupt, bloodthirsty and fomenters of rebellion. And during the 19th century, they dominated Romantic notions of British prehistory and identity.
Prof Hutton explores the evolution of English, Welsh and Scottish attitudes towards these ambiguous celtic figures and asks why the distinctive robes worn by today's Druids at Welsh Eisteddfods and Stonehenge rites were dreamt up by Hubert Herkomer - a Bavarian designer - in the 1890s.

Blink and Sam Crockatt Quartet at the Loop Festival
Jez Nelson presents two of London's fastest-rising talents in concert at the Loop festival. With saxophonist Sam Crockatt and his quartet, featuring college friend and leading British pianist Gwilym Simcock, plus trio Blink, whose debut album has received critical praise. Blending clean melodies with free interplay, Blink is co-led by bold young pianist Alcyona Mick and French saxophonist Robin Fincker, with Paul Clarvis completing the trio on drums.
The Loop festival was put together in honour of the London-based collective's fourth birthday in February 2009. It has a DIY approach to performing, promoting and recording music and, as a result, has become a breeding ground for innovative musicians in the city.

Elizabethan Garden
Bidisha visits the garden at Kenilworth Castle, the first re-creation of one of the greatest gardens of the Elizabethan age. Designed by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester to seduce Elizabeth I and win her hand in marriage, it features a bejewelled aviary filled with pheasants, canaries and guinea fowl, elaborately carved arbours and an 18-foot high fountain. The fountain has marble panels depicting scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses and is accompanied by a secret surpise fountain which soaks those too much excited by the erotic imagery.
The re-creation is based on archaeological excavations carried out in 2005, historical research and contemporary descriptions made by Robert Langham, an eye-witness to the visit made to Kenilworth by Elizabeth in July 1575. Dudley created the garden as a way of presenting himself as a worthy husband and consort to the Queen, and so is full of allegory and symbolism.
Bidisha and English Heritage Chairman Simon Thurley try to decipher the hidden meanings and messages of this horticultural landmark.

A Laureate's Life
Keorapetse Kgositsile
Series examining laureateship around the world.
Keorapetse Kgositsile discusses the role of poet laureate in South Africa. He is the latest in a line of 'imbongi', whose role, he argues, is often misunderstood. He isn't there just to praise the great in South African society, but also, as he says, 'to employ every known literary and poetic device to mock, jeer, castigate and criticise anyone in his community, from the king down to the lowliest subject'.

Handel: Rodelinda, Acts 1 and 2
Handel Operas 2009
As part of BBC Radio 3's complete cycle of Handel operas, Louise Fryer presents a performance of Rodelinda, a rare opera about married - rather than illicit - love.
It has parallels with Beethoven's Fidelio, as a faithful wife fights to save her beloved husband. At first, Rodelinda even thinks her Bertarido is dead - he is the rightful King of Lombardy, driven from his throne by the usurper Grimoaldo. Their struggle to find each other and overcome the tyrant is dramatised in arguably some of Handel's most beautiful music.
Including contributions from novelist Donna Leon, a particular enthusiast for the opera, who has a special role in this performance.

Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643)
Episode 5
Donald Macleod is joined by scholar and performer Christopher Stembridge to explore the life and work of Girolamo Frescobaldi.
They consider Frescobaldi's influence on later generations, including Johann Jakob Froberger, who came to study with Frescobaldi in 1637 after a spell as organist at the imperial court in Vienna; Bach, who studied Frescobaldi's Fiori Musicali, and whose own Clavierubung and Art of Fugue show its influence; and Ligeti, who based the eleventh piece in his Musica Ricercata collection on Frescobaldi's Recercar Cromatico.

Wendy Cope and Vesna Maric
Ian McMillan talks to poet Wendy Cope about The Audience, her witty new poetic portraits of classical concert goers. Written to be performed by Cope herself, along with the Endellion String Quartet, The Audience profiles such concert stalwarts as the Cougher, the Drinker, the Critic and the Traditionalist.
Bosnian author Vesna Maric remembers cult Croatian trainer brand Starta. Her memoir of coming to the UK as a refugee from the war in Bosnia, Bluebird, was BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week in early 2009. She takes a look at the curious cult history of Startas, the Croation trainer brand she grew up wearing.
