SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b0948jkv)
Sebastian Barry

Sebastian Barry's great-grand-father was a traditional Irish musician, who played on the wooden flute and piccolo. His mother was an actress at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin; his aunt Mary O'Hara had a huge career as a singer and harpist with her own series on the BBC. Little surprise then that Sebastian Barry's writing is musical in the widest sense; full of the rich music of everyday speech. It's an impressive body of work: fourteen plays, two volumes of poetry, and nine novels. Two of his novels, "The Secret Scripture" and the latest, "Days Without End", have won the coveted Costa Book of the Year prize. When he thanked the judges earlier this year, Barry declared: "You have made me crazy happy from the top of my head to my toes in a way that is a little bit improper at sixty-one."

In Private Passions, Sebastian Barry talks to Michael Berkeley about the "gaps" in Irish history he has explored in his books: areas which are touchy, taboo, and perhaps deliberately forgotten now, such as the fate of those who were Catholic, but loyal to Britain. He reveals too that his latest novel, a love story between two young soldiers, was inspired by his son coming out as gay.

Music choices include Bruch's Violin Concerto; Handel's "Judas Maccabaeus"; Alfred Deller singing "Three Ravens"; Bach's Cello Suites; and his aunt Mary O'Hara singing a song written by Sebastian Barry's own mother.

PCM 8: Elias String Quartet with Alice Neary

The Elias Quartet are joined by cellist Alice Neary to perform Schubert's String Quintet.

From Cadogan Hall, London

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Elias String Quartet
Alice Neary (cello)

Schubert's final chamber work is a piece of sublime beauty, a masterpiece of the repertoire composed only two months before the composer's death at the age of just 31. Instead of the additional viola preferred by Mozart and Beethoven in their string quintets, Schubert adds a second cello, to create a work of sonorous beauty. From its expansive opening Allegro and the fragile beauty of the Adagio to its exuberant Scherzo and good-humoured closing Allegretto, this is a work of boundless invention and charm. Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Elias String Quartet are joined by cellist Alice Neary.

SUN 14:00 The Early Music Show (b0948p5q)
Nicholas Lanier - A Drop of Amber Varnish

Lucie Skeaping presents highlights of a concert recorded at this year's York Early Music Festival, given by tenor Nicholas Mulroy, harpist Frances Kelly and lutenist Paula Chateauneuf. The concert explores the life and music of Nicholas Lanier - "a very ingenious vertuoso". Lanier was appointed the first ever Master of the King's Musick in 1625, but he was also an art connoisseur, sent by Charles I to Italy to buy paintings and recruit Italian artists for the English court. He returned not only with knowledge of the latest developments in Italian music, but having met and befriended the brilliant Artemisia Gentileschi, the first ever professional woman painter. She also revealed to him how she achieved the unique luminosity in her paintings: a mixture of walnut oil and a single drop of amber varnish - a substance also used to coat the bodies of lutes at that time.

Codes, ciphers, enigmas

The Listening Service returns to its regular slot now the Proms are over, and chooses one of the BBC's "Ten Pieces III", Elgar's "Enigma Variations", to look at codes, ciphers and hidden messages in music.
What might be the "dark saying" or mystery tune that the Enigma Variations are based around? Which other composers were keen on the use of codes and ciphers in their music?
And if we can't crack the codes, does it matter?
With Tom Service and Prof. Marcus du Sautoy.

But there's also the more existential desire to escape one's gender or relationship, dealt with by the likes of Christina Rossetti, Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. Then there's the escape we find in sleep and eventually death, explored by Shakespeare and Yeats. Mirroring the mood of our escapees is a soundtrack which features everything from Dowland to Ligeti, Elena Kaats-Chernin to Vaughan Williams.

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (b0948p5w)
The Battle for Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau, whose 200th birthday is currently being celebrated, is one of America's most quoted writers. His famous self-sufficient 'exile' to the woods by Walden Pond in Massachusetts spawned the classic book 'Walden', which is taught in schools and read diligently by green-leaning people around the world.

The received wisdom gives him credit as the founding father of the environmental movement in America. Thoreau is the 'voice of the American wilderness', the 'national conscience urging people to live in harmony with nature'. His appeal to the baby boomer generation who loved his nonconformity, his exhortation to 'simplify!, simplify!' and his thoughts on civil disobedience, was immense. We talk to Don Henley, guitarist of The Eagles who has been an important patron, saving Thoreau's landscape around Walden Woods. Marling attends the bicentennial events and talks to biographers and natural scientists, political thinkers and literary historians who all claim interest in Thoreau.

On the other hand, libertarians, attracted to Thoreau's aphorism "That government is best, which governs least," take issue with the way current environmentalists seize on his work and reputation. And political activists believe his real legacy lies in his evocation of passive resistance in the influential essay Civil Disobedience. The battle for Thoreau's legacy extends to those who focus on his character, denigrating him as a hypocrite and a joyless prig, a moralist given to disdainfully finger wagging his countrymen. We weigh the arguments but also ask whether, even if the legitimacy of his legacy is in doubt, even if he was 'a jerk', the world needs Thoreau now ....more than ever..... in a new age of environmental hostility? Is the idea of him more important now than the reality?

Three Sisters

Three sisters living in a garrison town in provincial Russia dream of the day that they will return to their home city of Moscow. Maybe then their lives will really start. But in Anton Chekhov's poignant classic somehow real life keeps getting in the way.

Three Sisters was written in 1900 and is a meticulously observed play for an ensemble cast. In its wry portrayal of dreams and self-delusion, and of the folly of believing that life is always better elsewhere, Chekhov's drama captures universal truths, joys and sorrows but his greatness as a writer of the human condition lies in his avoidance of either sentimentality or judgement.

With Peter Ringrose on additional piano

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b09491j0)
Alexander Goehr (1932-present), Inheritance

Donald Macleod discusses Alexander Goehr's inheritance of Schoenberg, Boogie-woogie and Monteverdi from his parents.

All this week, Donald Macleod is in conversation with Alexander Goehr at the composer's cottage in a village outside Cambridge. Sandy (as he's universally known) was born in Berlin in 1932, the son of the conductor Walter Goehr and pianist and photographer Laelia Goehr. The family moved to England in 1933. In his early twenties, Sandy became a central figure in the Manchester School of post-war British composers. By the early sixties he was considered a leader of the avant-garde in the UK, but he never committed himself to any movement or school in particular and throughout his life, Sandy has continued to look over his shoulder at the past as much as he has sought new musical horizons of his own. In 1975 he was appointed Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge, where he remains Emeritus Professor today.

In this first programme, Sandy discusses his early life. His father, the conductor Walter Goehr had been a pupil of Arnold Schoenberg and become an all-round musician in Berlin when he was headhunted in 1933 by the Gramophone Company (later EMI). The family moved to Buckinghamshire in England where they lived throughout the War. Sandy remembers escaping to the bomb shelter in the garden during air raids; visits to the family home by Michael Tippett; attending the first modern performance of Monteverdi's Vespers, which his father had resurrected; and listening to his father's wide-ranging record collection. When Sandy eventually admitted that he wanted to be a composer, his father actively discouraged him. But it was Walter who was to conduct Sandy's first major work: The Deluge. And it was as a memorial to his father that Sandy was to go on to write his pivotal work, his Little Symphony.

Monday - Rattle at Radio 3

Penny Gore presents a week of concerts featuring Sir Simon Rattle conducting the Berlin Philharmonic.

In the 2016 BBC Proms Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic paired Boulez and Mahler to great effect. This concert, recorded last September at the opening of the new season at the Philharmonie in Berlin, has the same pairing. Boulez's 10-minute piece combines fragments of sound from a group of 15 instruments including piano, celesta, cimbalom, glockenspiel, tubular bells, and mandolin. Mahler's Seventh Symphony demands great virtuosity from a large orchestra - the Berlin Philharmonic makes a persuasive case for this mighty work.

Followed by a peformance of Bartok's last orchestral work which also showcases the virtuosity and sound colours of the orchestra.

Boulez: Eclat

Sound and Nature

Tom Service investigates the music of, about, and for nature. How does music help tell stories of the natural world? And what can we hear in the music of nature itself?

Including views from inside the film-making process from the Bristol-based composer William Goodchild, and from the producer-director Vanessa Berlowitz and sound editor Kate Hopkins who have collaborated on award-winning series including the BBC's Planet Earth and Frozen Planet. Tom also talks about the art of listening with the field recordist and microphone builder Jez riley French, and the writer and composer Pascal Wyse.

To explore the place of sound and language, and the sound of language, in our understanding of the world around us, Tom meets the writer Robert Macfarlane, whose books about landscape, nature, memory and travel include Mountains of the Mind, The Wild Places and Landmarks. We also hear from the director Jennifer Peedom, who has collaborated with Macfarlane on Mountain, a new film commissioned by the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

0930 Suzy explores potential companion pieces for Beethoven. Piano Sonata in C sharp minor 'Moonlight' - i. Adagio sostenuto
One of Beethoven's most famous piano works even during his own lifetime, the German poet Ludwig Rellstab remarked that the first movement of the Sonata in C sharp minor evoked moonlight shining upon Lake Lucerne - the idea has continued to resonate with listeners through the centuries.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (b09498dd)
Alexander Goehr (1932-present), Goehr studies and Manchester and Paris

Donald Macleod discusses with Goehr his studies in Manchester and Paris.

Today's programme is about Sandy's student days. He was originally offered a place at Oxford to study classics, but his activities as a conscientious objector and as a member of the Socialist Zionist Association took him to Manchester. There he met the composition teacher Richard Hall and the bond that grew between them resulted in Sandy studying composition at the Royal Manchester College of Music. It was in Manchester that he met fellow musicians who were to become his lifelong friends - Harrison Birtwistle, Peter Maxwell Davies and John Ogdon. Together they formed the New Music Manchester Group.

Sandy has vivid memories of attending the first UK performance of Olivier Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony which was conducted by his father Walter Goehr. Sandy went on to study with Messiaen and Yvonne Loriod in Paris - an experience which challenged everything he thought he had previously known about composition.

TUE 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b094jvvg)
West Cork Chamber Music Festival 2017, Episode 1

John Toal presents highlights from the 22nd West Cork Chamber Music Festival.

We begin in the rich acoustic of St. Brendan's Church, situated on the main square in the centre of Bantry, for a performance of Haydn's Quartet in F major, Op.50 No.5, known as The Dream. Its nickname stems from the lulling effect of the Poco adagio, which is filled with undulating chords below a rhapsodic violin line.

We then move to the opulence and grandeur of the Library in Bantry House for Debussy's Violin Sonata in G minor: a work which he began to sketch in 1916 and completed it the following year. It is his final composition.

And finally a performance of Mozart's Serenade in E flat for wind octet, K.375, performed by an international line-up. It is the earliest of Mozart's three great wind serenades, and the most modest in scale.

Haydn: Quartet in F major, Op.50 No.5, The Dream

Public pools, the "steamie" and the Turkish bath; debates about hygiene and the role and revival of these public spaces are explored by Matthew Sweet and guests as Scottish theatres host a 30th anniversary tour of Tony Roper's play depicting 1950s Glasgow women washing their clothes in a public washhouse.

Joining Matthew will be Chris Renwick, author of 'Bread for All: The Origins of the Welfare State', Claire Launchbury, who has studied women's use of public baths in Middle Eastern cities, and Edwina Attlee, who's examined the sociology of spaces.
Also joining the conversation will be Aleks Krotoski, social psychologist of the online world, and journalist and spa enthusiast Matthew Norman.

TUE 23:00 Late Junction (b0949bg2)
Nick Luscombe with performances by Laraaji and Housewives

On the first Friday of September the Late Junction team donned their wellies and headed into the English countryside to curate an evening of live music from End of the Road festival in Dorset. It is the first year the programme have teamed up with End of the Road who have established themselves as a haven for adventurous music lovers at the tail end of the festival season.

Nick airs highlights from the stage all this week, starting with Laraaji's blend of transcendental jazz and new age ambience and progressing to the industrial drones and abrasive riffs of Housewives.

Laraaji is a multi-instrumentalist, mystic and laughter meditation practitioner who began playing music on the streets in the 1970s, improvising trance-inducing pieces on a modified autoharp. He was spotted by Brian Eno who invited him to record an album for his seminal Ambient series in 1980, Since then Laraaji has gone on to release a series of new-age works of his own, featuring his trademark electrified zither alongside mbira and piano. As well as his live performance, we'll be dipping into Laraaji's laughter meditation workshop which he will be presenting on site.

Since their formation in 2013, London-based five piece Housewives, featuring Joseph Rafferty on guitar and vocals, David Moran on guitar, Ben Vince on saxophone, Lawrence Dodd on bass and Alexander Evans on drums, have amassed a cult following for their brutalist lo-fi noise music. Their two albums to date draw inspiration from Italian noise pioneer and instrument builder Luigi Russolo, Steve Reich, the No Wave scene and Charles Hayward's This Heat. They have been championed by Hayward himself, who describes their sound as "a barely controlled anger, hypnotic and building from the simplest elements."

Also on the programme we have a rarely heard piece for Japanese drums and orchestra by Maki Ishii and go-getting 80s library music from British composer Peter Morris.

Ravel thought of "Bolero" as "an experiment in a very special and limited direction" - seeing what he could do with just one theme, used obsessively to an explosive point of no return. He certainly didn't regard the result as one of his more important works, and yet now it is perhaps the most well known.

Alexander Goehr (1932-present), Middle Years

Donald Macleod discusses with Goehr working at the BBC and his formation of the Music Theatre Ensemble

This programme is about the middle years of Sandy's life when he was finding his own unique musical path. He describes the dialogue he had with Pierre Boulez as to whether music at this point in history needed to draw a line under the past and start anew, or should regard itself as part of an ongoing continuum. In the early 1960s he worked for the BBC and then taught at Boston, Yale and Leeds. He formed the Music Theatre Ensemble, the first ensemble devoted to what has become an established musical form.

John Toal presents highlights from the 22nd West Cork Chamber Music Festival.

We begin today's programme with Grieg's Violin Sonata No.1 in F major, Op.8 - composed in 1865, when Grieg was 22. The composer himself played the piano in the first performance of the work, in Leipzig in mid-November 1865, during a stop-over on his way to Italy; the violinist was the Swede Anders Petterson. Today's performers are the Norwegian violinist Henning Kraggerud and Hungarian pianist Dénes Várjon, in the setting of St. Brendan's church, Bantry.

We'll then hear Dénes is a solo capacity with Schumann's Fantasiestücke, Op.12 of 1838. The set of eight pieces pay oblique tribute to one of Schumann's favoured authors, E T A Hoffmann, and present wonderful contrasts from movement to movement. They are performed in the library of Bantry House.

Nick Luscombe with performances by Klein and Xylouris White

We play the rest of our live highlights recorded on the Late Junction curated stage at End of the Road festival. This time it's the turn of Oram award-winning Klein, known for her unique blend of gospel, electronics and R&B vocals and Xylouris White, a duo comprised of singer and Cretan lute player George Xylouris and Dirty Three drummer, Jim White.

Klein is a singer and producer from South London via Lagos. Since releasing her debut album early last year, she has been acclaimed for her genre-mashing blend of impressionistic electronics, soulful vocals and snatches of found sound, earning her a special commendation at the inaugural Oram awards earlier this year, which recognises women making electronic music.

Xylouris White consists of Georgios Xylouris who sings and plays the Laoto, the Cretan lute, and is the son of Psarantonis White, who comes from a musical dynasty of players raised in the Cretan mountains, alongside Jim White, formerly of the Australian post-punk band Dirty Three.

Also on the programme; inspirational roots reggae from 1973 by The Tidals and the sound of classic arcade game Pole Position.

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (b0949j2q)
Alexander Goehr (1932-present), Teaching

Alexander Goehr discusses his composition teaching at Cambridge University with Donald Macleod

All this week, Donald Macleod is in conversation with Alexander Goehr at the composer's cottage in a village outside Cambridge. Sandy (as he's universally known) was born in Berlin in 1932, the son of the conductor Walter Goehr and pianist and photographer Laelia Goehr. The family moved to England in 1933. In his early twenties, Sandy became a central figure in the Manchester School of post-war British composers. By the early sixties he was considered a leader of the avant-garde in the UK, but he never committed himself to any movement or school in particular and throughout his life, Sandy has continued to look over his shoulder at the past as much as he has sought new musical horizons of his own. in 1975 he was appointed Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge, where he remains Emeritus Professor.

Over the years, Sandy has taught many of this country's leading composers including Thomas Adès, Julian Anderson, Robin Holloway and George Benjamin. And so, in today's programme Donald asks Sandy how composition can be taught. Sandy also discusses some of his dramatic compositions which draw on sources and stories from the past such as Arianna and Moses.

THU 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (b095qq9w)
West Cork Chamber Music Festival 2017, Episode 3

John Toal presents highlights from the 22nd West Cork Chamber Music Festival.

Today's programme is bookended by string quartets performing Romantic and more recent repertoire. We begin with Hugo Wolf's concise Italian Serenade, written in May 1887 when he was beginning to find his true voice as a composer of lieder. It is performed here by the French quartet, Quatuor Zaïde. And we end with Thomas Adès's The Four Quarters, commissioned in 2010 by the Carnegie Hall Corporation for the Emerson Quartet. Today the British Doric String Quartet journey through its four movements.

The Viola Sonata by Harrow-born Rebecca Clarke was written in 1919. She described the work as her "one little whiff of success", having come a close second to the Suite by Ernst Bloch for the Coolidge Prize at the Berkshire Festival where it was premiered. Today it's performed by Netherlands-based viola player Dana Zemtsov and Finnish pianist Joonas Ahonen.

The programme opens with the premiere of a short piece by Wolfgang Rihm, followed by György Ligeti's violin concerto, a work that impresses soloist Patricia Kopatchinskaja with its "colourful, ... sometimes flickering and sometimes floating auditory impression".

This concert is followed by a performance of an earlier, well loved violin concerto - Dvorak's - performed at the Easter Festival in Baden-Baden.

Champions of the off-kilter, Deerhoof formed in San Francisco over 20 years ago, since when they have become known for their constantly shifting avant-pop fronted by the distinctive sound of Japanese vocalist Satomi Matsuzaki. Their latest and 13th studio album was written over a seven-day period in an abandoned office space in the desert of New Mexico and features collaborations with artists including Juana Molina, Mantana Roberts and Awkwafina.

Also on the programme tonight, sound artist architects Audialsense with a piece that explores the qualitative and physical properties of sound in space.
