Debussy composed La mer between 1903 and 1905. It is a brilliant and exciting orchestral showpiece that conjures up the many moods of the sea. Debussy corrected proofs of the score while on holiday at the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne on the English Channel coast. He described Eastbourne to his publisher, Durand, as "a charming peaceful spot: the sea unfurls itself with an utterly British correctness".

SAT 11:45 Music Matters (m0018225)
Tyshawn Sorey, Esther Abrami, Alma Deutscher, John Mauceri
Tom Service talks to drummer, conductor and composer Tyshawn Sorey. A musician very much in demand across both classical and jazz circles, Tyshawn discusses his continuing mission to break down boundaries in music and his recent piece ‘Monochromatic Light’, written for the 50th anniversary of Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas, for which he took inspiration not just from the artwork of Mark Rothko, but the piece Morton Feldman wrote for the opening of the space in 1971.
Tom also speaks to conductor and writer John Mauceri about his new book, The War on Music: Reclaiming the Twentieth Century, in which he argues the extent to which 20th-century music was shaped by World War I, World War II and the Cold War. John tells Tom why he believes a century of cultural politics has resulted in certain composers not being sufficiently appreciated, and thus not played enough in concert halls today.
We also hear from the composer Lavender Rodriguez who tells us how they’re inspiring young people across the north west of England to become the next generation of music creators through Manchester Camerata’s Hidden Histories project; and we turn to TikTok, speaking to some of the finest young musicians and classical institutions about how they are using the hugely popular social media app to take classical music to new audiences. Tom talks to violinist Esther Abrami, composer and conductor Alma Deutscher and London Philharmonic Orchestra’s Kath Trout.

Weligwic - Place of Willows
Kate Molleson introduces some of the latest sounds including the premiere of James Weeks's Weligwic, a work which hovers on the very margins of orchestral sound, a half-light world, overcast and subdued. Also tonight, Akanthos, a classic of musical modernism by Iannis Xenakis, whose centenary is celebrated this year and, in advance of a performance at the New Music Biennial at the beginning of next month, The Power and the Glory from Gazelle Twin and Max Wardener, an elegiac anti-idyll exploring themes of English heritage. And, in Sounding Change, Gabriel Prokofiev talks about his latest album, Howl and "untangling signal from noise, truth from lies and how political protest sometimes emerges from this overload."
SUNDAY 12 JUNE 2022
SUN 00:00 Freeness (m001822p)
Jessica Ackerley
Over the last decade the Hawai’i based, Canadian born guitarist Jessica Ackerley has established herself as a singular voice in improvised music. She garnered critical acclaim for her dexterous finger picking, her various collaborative projects, and her stripped back approach to harmonic, tonal and textural exploration. She reflects on letting go of inhibitions, her love for Jimi Hendrix and Jim Hall, and new music from her forthcoming project, SSWAN, featuring Patrick Shiroishi, Chris Williams, Luke Stewart and Jason Nazary.
Khimaira is a three headed monster: a lion head in front, a wild goat head on its back and a snake head at the end of its tail. The fantastical beast is brought to life through the eerie murmurations, unsettling howls and intense free play of the trio that shares its name.
Elsewhere in the programme; new solo music from Richard Scott who, amidst rich layers of analogue and modular synths, recreates the relational dynamism of playing in an ensemble.

Sarah Walker with an enchanting musical mix
Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Sarah enjoys some contrasting pieces on the piano today: from a glittering sonata by Spanish composer Antonio Soler, to a lilting romance by Clara Schumann, and a sweeping étude based on George Gershwin’s Embraceable You.
She also plays Joseph Bologne’s Symphonie Concertante for two violins and orchestra (in all its glorious courtly glamour!), and soprano Sonya Yoncheva gracefully weaves Orlando Gibbons’s threads of melody in The Silver Swan.
Plus, a harpsichord concerto by JS Bach is the perfect accompaniment to a sunny day.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (m001822y)
Francesca Simon
Anyone who’s spent any time with children in the last thirty years will know Horrid Henry and his brother, Perfect Peter. They’re the creations of Francesca Simon, and they’ve appeared in 25 books, been translated into 31 languages and sold 25 million copies. They seem to embody archetypes: the chaotic, naughty brother who’s always in trouble, and the neat well-behaved sibling who’s always anxious to please the parents.
In Private Passions, Francesca Simon tells Michael Berkeley that her own emotional memories of childhood are extraordinarily vivid. She was brought up living on the beach in Malibu, where her father Mayo Simon was a screenwriter, but then moved around to Paris and New York and London. It all sounds glamorous, but actually, she says, it was hard. They moved so often that she always felt like an outsider. Francesca chooses music that reflects the very diverse influences of her early life: Yiddish and Breton folk songs, and Jascha Haifetz playing the Bach Double Violin Concerto. She also chooses music by the young British composer Gavin Higgins, for whom she’s written a libretto for his new work The Faerie Bride, and by E. J. Moeran, a composer she thinks should be much better known.

SUN 13:00 Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert (m0017tqx)
Nelson Goerner
Described as a ‘discreet artist whose career is immense’, Argentinian pianist Nelson Goerner performs two piano masterpieces. Debussy’s Estampes portray the composer’s fascination with other cultures: from 'Pagodes', evoking Indonesian gamelan music, which Debussy first heard in the Paris World Conference Exhibition of 1889; to 'La soirée dans Grenade', which mimics guitar strumming to conjure up images of Granada; to 'Jardins sous la pluie', which describes a garden in the Normandy town of Orbec during an extremely violent rainstorm. Composed some seventy years earlier, Schumann’s Symphonic Studies test the technical and emotional capabilities of any pianist. Originally published as a set of twelve studies, when republishing the set in 1890, Brahms restored the five variations that had been cut by Schumann – an amendment Nelson Goerner acknowledges in his performance.

Music to soothe, and an account of a disastrous premiere of a Haydn symphony which carried on after the audience narrowly avoided being crushed by a falling chandelier, are amongst the examples in today's programme as we hear calming words and advice set alongside accounts of disasters and stressful scenarios. Adam Kay's This is Going to Hurt recalls the experience of being a trainee doctor, Francis Drake is said to have finished his bowls game before tackling the Spanish Armada. We don't know if this story is true but we do have his poem which tells us "Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves". Tishani Doshi has a poem entitled Poems Lull Us Into Safety and Caleb Femi called one of his pieces Coping. Lady Macbeth accuses her husband "You do unbend your noble strength, to think so brainsickly of things", and Anita Moorjani attributes her miraculous recovery from terminal cancer to her positive mindset.
Alongside soothing music from Hannah Peel and Amy Beach, the soundtrack ranges from a quartet from Beethoven’s Fidelio – its outward tranquillity disguising the conflicting passionate emotions of its singers – to another famous operatic quartet, from Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Gondoliers, the punchline motto of which was framed on the desk of prime minister Harold Macmillan. Grace Williams takes us out on a Calm Sea, and the nul points-defying UK entry for Eurovision 2022, Sam Ryder's Space Man, proves what can be achieved if you can keep calm and carry on.
Our readers are Colin McFarlane and Madeline Smith - veteran of British film institutions Hammer Horror, James Bond and, most appositely, the Carry Ons.

Afterwords: Muriel Spark
"One's prime is elusive ..."
Muriel Spark is probably still best known for the novel based on her own schooling in Edinburgh in the 1930s, 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie'. But she published over twenty other novels, as well as essays and poems - she always thought of herself as a poet first - and, though 'Scottish by formation', she left Scotland for 'adventures' in what used to be Rhodesia, London, New York and Rome, before finally settling into a kind of 'spiritual exile' for the last thirty years of her life in Arezzo, Tuscany.
But her work and her ideas about what a writer is still resonate, as can be heard in recordings with her from the early 1970s onwards and through the observations of the writers Ian Rankin and Zoe Strachan, Colin McIlroy of the National Library of Scotland and Muriel Spark's friend and author of 'Appointment in Arezzo', Alan Taylor.
With extracts from Spark's writing read by Kate Arneil.

Zadie Smith with the BBC Symphony Orchestra
Zadie Smith is one of Britain’s most notable and influential living novelists. Her first work, White Teeth, completed while the author was still a student, became an instant hit when it was published in 2000. Soon enough, she came to define what it was to live in Britain – and particularly London – at the turn of the new millennium. Music has always coursed through Zadie Smith’s works. At university she worked as a jazz singer, while her 2016 novel Swing Time, long listed for the Booker Prize, explores her love of music and dance.
Zadie joins the BBC Symphony Orchestra on the stage of the Barbican Hall for a highly acclaimed entertaining and thought-provoking evening. The multi-award-winning author reads extracts from a selection of her own writing - essays, short-stories, and novels - and even sings! Intermixed with music reflecting the readings by composers from Tchaikovsky to Gity Razaz.

Dvořák and America
An Invitation
Donald Macleod looks at why Dvořák turned down, and then later agreed to, an extended trip to the USA.
Antonín Dvořák became the first Czech composer to achieve global fame. His gift for transforming the folk styles of his native Bohemia into richly romantic classical music won him admirers far beyond his homeland. Consequently, Dvořák was approached to leave Europe and serve as director of the newly established National Conservatory of Music in America. His sponsors hoped he would help foster a new and distinctive American musical style, less reliant upon Germanic traditions. During his time in America, Dvořák composed many of his most celebrated works, including his Ninth Symphony and his Cello Concerto. This week, Donald Macleod focuses on Dvořák’s American years and uncovers what he achieved there.
Antonín Dvořák was employed at the Conservatory in Prague from 1890 and developed a reputation as a hard taskmaster. He taught only the most talented students and could be very strict and demanding. But outside of classes, he would take any opportunity he could to escape the confines of academia and fulfil his twin passions of trainspotting or bird feeding. When an offer arrived from Mrs Jeanette Meyer Thurber, the wife of a millionaire New York grocer, suggesting Dvořák might like to abandon Prague for New York and take up the post of director at the new National Conservatory of Music, he turned it down. So what changed his mind? Donald investigates.

Dvořák and America
Arrival in America
Donald Macleod finds out what Americans made of this famous composer, newly arrived from Bohemia.
Antonín Dvořák became the first Czech composer to achieve global fame. His gift for transforming the folk styles of his native Bohemia into richly romantic classical music won him admirers far beyond his homeland. Consequently, Dvořák was approached to leave Europe and serve as director of the newly established National Conservatory of Music in America. His sponsors hoped he would help foster a new and distinctive American musical style, less reliant upon Germanic traditions. During his time in America, Dvořák composed many of his most celebrated works, including his Ninth Symphony and his Cello Concerto. This week, Donald Macleod focuses on Dvořák’s American years and uncovers what he achieved there.
Dvořák was in awe of the metropolis when he and his family first arrived in New York. They were greeted at the quayside by a delegation from the Conservatoire and were soon whisked off to their new apartment at the Clarendon Hotel where a Steinway piano had been delivered for his use. He noted that everything was clean and expensive. Dvořák was also taken with the lack of divisions between those with or without wealth; he was mightily impressed that talented students were given entry to the Conservatoire, regardless of financial or racial background. Dvořák was greatly taken with the cultural scene in New York too. His own grand inaugural concert took place towards the end of 1892 at a packed Carnegie Hall, where his Te Deum was performed to huge acclaim.

Dvořák and America
Meeting Harry Burleigh
Donald Macleod traces the important friendship Dvořák established with African American singer and composer Harry T Burleigh.
Antonín Dvořák became the first Czech composer to achieve global fame. His gift for transforming the folk styles of his native Bohemia into richly romantic classical music won him admirers far beyond his homeland. Consequently, Dvořák was approached to leave Europe and serve as director of the newly established National Conservatory of Music in America. His sponsors hoped he would help foster a new and distinctive American musical style, less reliant upon Germanic traditions. During his time in America, Dvořák composed many of his most celebrated works, including his Ninth Symphony and his Cello Concerto. This week, Donald Macleod focuses on Dvořák’s American years and uncovers what he achieved there.
1893 was Dvořák’s first full year working in America and his new surroundings were beginning to inspire him. A theme from his Sonatina for violin and piano was written down when Dvořák was visiting the Minnehaha Falls. At the Conservatory in New York, Dvořák encountered a young singer and future composer, Harry T Burleigh, who enjoyed singing spirituals in the halls. The older man was struck not only by Burleigh’s distinctive voice but also by the songs that he was singing. Could this be the sort of music he’d been looking for in his quest to establish an authentic American musical language? The two quickly became firm friends. When Dvořák later unveiled his Ninth symphony, he revealed he’d found inspiration in African American music, and subtitled his work, “From the New World”.

Dvořák and America
Homesick
Donald Macleod surveys Dvořák’s second full year in America when the Czech composer begins to feel unsettled.
Antonín Dvořák became the first Czech composer to achieve global fame. His gift for transforming the folk styles of his native Bohemia into richly romantic classical music won him admirers far beyond his homeland. Consequently, Dvořák was approached to leave Europe and serve as director of the newly established National Conservatory of Music in America.

During his time in America, Dvořák composed many of his most celebrated works, including his Ninth Symphony and his Cello Concerto. This week, Donald Macleod focuses on Dvořák’s American years and uncovers what he achieved there.
During 1894, Dvořák’s second full year in America, the charm of the New World was wearing a little thin. The previous year he’d taken a summer vacation to Spillville where, amongst a Czech community there, Dvořák had begun to feel pangs of homesickness. His time as Director of the Conservatory of Music was proving productive however dark clouds were slowly appearing. The salary he’d been promised by Mrs. Thurber, who’d established the conservatoire, had not been forthcoming; Dvořák began to wonder if it ever would be. Increasingly disheartened, Dvořák returned to his native Bohemia for the summer. He returned to America for the Autumn term where he continued to explore African American spirituals, alongside his friend and unofficial student, Harry T. Burleigh, who was developing his own voice as a Black American composer and arranger.

BBC NOW play Shostakovich at the Aldeburgh Festival
Martyn Brabbins conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in two nights of rousing music with a distinctly British focus, live from the Aldeburgh Festival. The first night opens with Elizabeth Maconchy's brief yet majestic work Proud Thames, depicting the river from its trickling rural source to the bustle of a brimming capital city. Cellist Laura van der Heijden will then join Martyn and the Orchestra for the last of William Walton's three great string concertos, the work with which she won the coveted BBC Young Musician of the Year award in 2012. The evening concludes with Shostakovich's tempestuous 10th Symphony, a work which needs no narrative to describe the power of its violent and vibrant music, although some see it as the composer's musical depiction of Stalin and the tyranny he had inflicted on Russia.
Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas, live from Snape Maltings.

Slow film and ecology
Can a 40-hour film of a Massachusetts garden or a project documenting rice growing over 40 years help us to understand our planet better? Who makes and who watches such projects? Matthew Sweet is joined by film historian Becca Voelcker who has watched projects recorded in Japan, Colombia, Scotland and America; Thomas Halliday, whose book Otherlands charts the changes in the earth's ecologies through deep time; and by environmentalist Rupert Read, who is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia.
Producer: Luke Mulhall

Journeys to the Grave
Anita Sethi on Anne Brontë
Five writers go on five reflective, restorative and often playful journeys in search of the final resting places of their literary heroes.
Today, Anita Sethi journeys to the grave of her heroine Anne Brontë, overlooking the sea she so loved, and considers why she was buried high on a hill in Scarborough, away from her better known sisters. Her grave has over the years been neglected and ravaged by the elements, but more recently - like her reputation - restored.

Dvořák and America
Leaving America
Donald Macleod shows how Dvořák’s American experiences continued to influence his music, even after he had returned home.
Antonín Dvořák became the first Czech composer to achieve global fame. His gift for transforming the folk styles of his native Bohemia into richly romantic classical music won him admirers far beyond his homeland. Consequently, Dvořák was approached to leave Europe and serve as director of the newly established National Conservatory of Music in America. His sponsors hoped he would help foster a new and distinctive American musical style, less reliant upon Germanic traditions. During his time in America, Dvořák composed many of his most celebrated works, including his Ninth Symphony and his Cello Concerto. This week, Donald Macleod focuses on Dvořák’s American years and uncovers what he achieved there .
Dvořák waved goodbye to America for the last time in April 1895. He’d become incredibly homesick for his beloved Bohemia and the financial prospects he’d been led to expect from his post as Director of the National Conservatory of Music had not materialised. Before leaving, he’d started work on his Cello Concerto, inspired by his yearning for the Bohemian countryside. Back at home, Dvořák also completed his String Quartet No 13 which some have seen to be his final work to have musical associations with America.
Dvořák’s had set out to encourage American musicians to look to their own traditions rather than simply following behind Europe. He may not have been entirely successful but he did encourage others in that aim, such as Harry T. Burleigh. Burleigh said of Dvořák that he’d assisted in changing attitudes of African Americans towards their own folk tradition, and most importantly, that Dvořák "was a man of the people".

BBC NOW play Higgins at the Aldeburgh Festival
In the second of their Aldeburgh Festival performances, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Martyn Brabbins present a programme of British music, culminating with the world premiere of The Faerie Bride, a cantata by the Orchestra's Composer in Association, Gavin Higgins. In this work, Higgins sets words written by Francesca Simon depicting the Welsh myth 'The Lady of Lyn y Fan Fach' in which the eponymous faerie marries a man on the condition he must not strike her three times or she will immediately return to the lake in which she dwelled. This world premiere is preceded by Grace Williams's Sea Sketches, a fantastically evocative depiction of the South Wales coastline. Fittingly, we also hear Williams' dear friend—and one of the founders of the Aldeburgh Festival—Benjamin Britten. His Suite on English Folk Tunes is a late work which he subtitled 'A time there was...', referring both to older musical traditions, and his own earlier compositions.
Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas live from Snape Maltings.

FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m0014h1x)
Keeley Forsyth’s mixtape
Verity Sharp shares a mixtape from composer, singer and actor Keeley Forsyth. Born in Oldham and now based in Harrogate, Forsyth released her debut album Debris in 2020 to great acclaim, after more than 20 years as a successful actor starring in the likes of Happy Valley and Waterloo Road. Her music is sparse, intimate and centred around her voice, often haunting and emotionally raw. Her second album Limbs is out this month, and explores themes including a fear of death, cruelty, love and tenderness.
Forsyth says that when she sings she connects to a female energy, almost separate from herself. Her mixtape for Late Junction celebrates women vocalists and musicians that inspire and move her, from French icon Édith Piaf and Colombian electronic artist Lucrecia Dalt to folk music from Palestine and the pedal steel guitar playing of Susan Alcorn.
Elsewhere in the show there’s new releases including psychedelic electronics from the Democratic Republic of Congo and producer La Roche, jazz inspired by the west coast of Sweden from the ensemble Koma Saxo and a new compilation celebrating the works of Dutch synth designer Rob Hordijk.
