9.30am Building A Library: Elin Manahan-Thomas on Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis

Beethoven's setting of the Solemn Mass is one of the monuments of choral music. Written between 1819 and 1823, it is widely thought of as one of Beethoven's towering achievements. It was dedicated to Archduke Rudolf of Austria, one of Beethoven's most generous patrons as well as pupil and friend. The copy given to Rudolf was inscribed with the phrase: "From the heart – may it return to the heart!"

Music in a changing world

Tom Service is joined in the studio by Jamie Njoku-Goodwin, chief executive of UK Music; Kate Whitley, composer and founder of the Multi-Story Orchestra in south east London; and Olivia Giovetti, music journalist and editor of VAN Magazine, who joins the panel from Berlin. They deliberate on the pressing issues concerning the music industry this year.

They hear from Ukrainian musicians, Herman Makarenko and Valeriy Sokolov about how the war in Ukraine is affecting their lives and their music. The panel also responds to Arts Minister Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay as he presents the new National Plan for Music Education, which applies to England only, and sets out the government's vision for music education running to 2030. Eight months after COP26, the UN Climate Change Conference, Tom talks to Luke Jenkinson, Managing Director of the climate conscious Global Music Vault in Norway about his commitment to safeguarding and preserving music on glass. And finally, the irrepressible violinist, Patricia Kopatchinskaja shares her thoughts on how to creatively safeguard classical music audiences as the industry continues to recover post-pandemic.

SUNDAY 03 JULY 2022

SUN 00:00 Freeness (m0018qwb)
Echoes

Twenty years after meeting up in Oxford for a tea, guitarist Dominic Lash and pianist Pat Thomas share their first project as a duo - a rich exchange filled with vaporous, unpredictable turns and riffs that slack loose and snap taut.

We hear new music from the New York-based group WeFreeStrings, led by viola player Melanie Dyer. This second offering from the group pulses with the album's title: ‘love in the form of sacred rage’. Here, dedications to activists including Fred Hampton and Fannie Lou Hamer find life through glitching, tectonic orchestrations.

Elsewhere Barcelona-based Tomomi Kubo collaborates with saxophonist Ferran Besalduch. Kubo creates subterranean sound waves on the ondes Martenot. Together, they create unsettling, shadowy pieces drawing on aquatic life.

Kate Molleson with a glorious musical mix

Kate Molleson sits in for Sarah Walker and chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Today, Kate enjoys the lush sonorities in Stravinsky’s Symphonies of Wind Instruments, the rich sound of violinist Christian Tetzlaff in a sonata by Brahms, and a heartfelt lament by Lully.

Kate also plays two pieces with a connection to the left hand, including a song by left-handed guitarist Elizabeth Cotten and a piece of blues music that only needs one of a pianist’s hands.

Plus, a collage of Icelandic folk poetry disguised as a requiem…

Dame Stephanie Shirley

Dame Stephanie Shirley arrived in Britain from Vienna as a five-year-old, without her parents. It was 1939, and she was one of 10,000 Jewish children brought by train on the Kindertransport to escape the Nazis. She went on to become one of the most successful businesswomen of the 20th century; in 1962, working from home, she founded one of the first tech-start-ups: an all-woman software company, Freelance Programmers, which was ultimately valued at almost $3 billion, making seventy of her staff millionaires.

Since ‘retiring’, her work has been in philanthropy, with a particular focus on IT and autism – in memory of her son, who had autism, and who died at the age of only 35. She estimates that The Shirley Foundation has given away £67 million, not least for the establishment of three autism charities. She is the author of two books and is frequently asked to give motivational speeches about women in business and her own life story. She says, “I decided to make my life one worth saving”.

In conversation with Michael Berkeley, Dame Stephanie Shirley looks back on an extraordinarily dramatic life. She describes the Kindertransport train, with children sleeping on the luggage racks, weeping for their lost families. She tells the story of her early days in business, and how she took on the name “Steve” to be taken more seriously. She also had a tape recording of frantic typing that she used to play during work phone calls, to disguise the fact that she was at home. And she talks movingly about her son’s death and how that changed the direction of her life. Her music choices include Bach, Britten’s ‘Ceremony of Carols’, Dido’s Lament and the ‘Cat Duet’ attributed to Rossini.

Elisabeth Leonskaja plays Mozart and Beethoven

Hannah French presents one of the legendary pianists of our time, Elisabeth Leonskaja, performing from Wigmore Hall in London. Elisabeth Leonskaja performs Mozart's sprited Sonata in C major, which he wrote at the age of 27, alongside Beethoven's sublime final Sonata in C minor, Op.111.

SUN 17:00 The Listening Service (m000hgqt)
Lisztomania

Tom takes a deep drive into the music of Franz Liszt, celebrated, and sometimes denigrated, for his ultra-virtuosity. Tom is joined by former Radio 3 New Generation Artist Mariam Batsashvili who plays some of her favourite moments of Liszt at the piano, and explains why Liszt has always held a special place in her heart. From struggling with being the first world-famous musician, to pre-empting the likes of Wagner and Schoenberg, Tom explores the surprising and conflicting role Liszt played on the musical stage.

The Ledbury Poets

Actors Adrian Scarborough and Skye Hallam read prose and verse from Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds inspired by the Ledbury Poetry Festival, which runs in early July, set alongside a range of music. We hear work by poets who were born there or lived and worked in the region, like John Masefield, Lascelles Abercrombie, John Drinkwater, Rupert Brooke, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, William Langland, and WH Auden. We also feature contemporary poets, who've taken part in the Ledbury festival, reading their own poems, like Jade Cuttle, Anthony Anaxagorou and Victoria Adukwei Bulley.
As for the music, we hear settings of some of these poems by the likes of John Ireland and Ivor Gurney, as well as pieces from composers associated broadly with the region, like Edward Elgar.
Producer: Juan Carlos Jaramillo

SUN 18:45 Between the Ears (m0018qtx)
In the Footsteps of Beryl the Boot

In some ways, the late Beryl Mortimer epitomises a bygone era of British cinema. Known affectionately as 'Beryl the Boot', the Foley artist and 'footstepper' provided sound effects - and, notably, footsteps - for films from the1950s to the end of the century - everything from big-budget epics like Lawrence of Arabia to art-house productions such as Sally Potter's The Gold Diggers (with its all-female crew).

But precisely how many films Beryl worked on is not known, as Foley artists were not routinely credited until the last decade of her career.

Through interviews, fragments of archive and a full palette of Foley sound, this programme brings an unseen artform into the foreground, uncovering not only more about Beryl's craft but also a portrait of the women herself - a glamorous and larger than life bon viveur who remained dedicated to "the underbelly" of filmmaking until the very end.

With contributions from former colleagues and Foley artists; Jason, Ted and Dianne Swanscott, David Hamilton-Smith, Ruth Sullivan and Jack Stew, film historian Professor Melanie Bell and director Sally Potter.

Includes extracts of Beryl from the making of Foley Artist by Tacita Dean (1996), originally recorded by Steve Felton.

Additional Foley effects and footsteps by Jason Swanscott (recorded by Rob Price of EarthSound), Ruth Sullivan and Jack Stew.

Produced by Hannah Dean.

SUN 19:15 Sunday Feature (m0018r6m)
City solutions

Research underlining the mental health benefits of a green environment would hardly have surprised the Victorian builders of Britain's great cities. But with a world population increasingly moving into urban centres, there's a pressing question about how that natural experience can be made available to high density city populations. Des Fitzgerald takes a walk through town and country to see if there's a way in which the benefits of one might be allowed to resolve the damaging impact of the other. He talks to experts who advocate human contact with the natural world and a representative of Heatherwick Studio who believe parks and buildings need not be treated as separate entities.

Producer: Tom Alban


SUN 19:30 Drama on 3 (m000j2bn)
Unicorns, Almost

An adaptation for radio of a new stage play by the writer Owen Sheers. Unicorns, Almost portrays the short life of World War Two poet Keith Douglas, from his childhood through four engagements to his fighting in the Western Desert, his accelerated education as a poet and his early death three days after the Normandy D-Day landings at the age of 24. It is the story of his Faustian pact with a war that would nurture his unique poetic voice before abruptly snatching it away. It is also the story of his desperate race to see his poems in print before his time on earth ran out.

Widely recognised as the finest poet of World War II, Keith Douglas was championed by Ted Hughes as an important influence. Hughes wrote the introduction to Douglas's The Complete Poems, published by Faber.

Welsh playwright, poet and novelist Owen Sheers introduces this audio version of his stage play.

A Day in the Life of Honey the Dog

Ever wondered what it’s like being a dog?

Honey is a 15-year-old fox-red labrador who lives in Edinburgh with her owner and her fellow labrador Breagh.

We hear the slowly shifting sounds of Honey’s world, from her peaceful breathing as she sleeps, to waking and padding around the house, clicking down the garden path, and hearing the birds in the garden while she runs on the grass, before loudly munching her breakfast. Someone snaps her photo as she sniffs around the allotments, gets a tour of a plot, encounters some very excited dogs, and spends time staring into a crackling fire.

She hops into the car for a quick trip, has a walk round the park where she’s on the sidelines of a ballgame, and enjoys a long grooming session in the garden (listen out for a passing bee). You’ll also hear from her many friends including an eight-year-old who has known Honey her whole life, and a neighbour who realises that Honey has decided to give up on her training, even for treats…

Although Honey has slowed in her old age, the world around her keeps going. Take a moment to tune into what she hears from dawn to dusk.

NB - it’s advised to use headphones to listen to this programme

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (m0018ql6)
Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764)

A Dream Realised

Donald Macleod begins three weeks focused on French composers, in honour of this month’s ‘Tour de France’ cycle race. This week, Donald introduces us to Jean-Philippe Rameau who astounded Parisian audiences with his debut opera, "Hippolyte et Aricie".

"I have followed the theatre since the age of twelve", so said Rameau to a young composer who wrote to him for advice. It's an intriguing insight into a man who didn't produce his first opera until the age of fifty. Quite why it took him that long isn't clear. Up to that point he had been a church musician, following in his father's footsteps, holding a succession of posts mainly in the South of France. He also taught and established himself as a theoretician of some note. A brief, early sojourn in Paris, a mecca for any theatrical hopeful, ended abruptly when he was still in his twenties. It wasn't until he returned to Paris in 1723 that Rameau was able to start writing music for theatrical entertainments, at first for the popular Fairs, and then finally in 1733 for the Paris Opera. In the midst of constant cultural rows over the merits of French and Italian operatic style, Rameau flourished as a theatre composer. At one point he was so successful the management of the Paris Opera decreed no more than two of his works should be mounted per season, to allow other composers to get a look in! He completed his final opera, a masterpiece, Les Boréades in 1763, the year before he died at the age of eighty. Across the week Donald Macleod focuses on this remarkable period in Rameau's life, from the first of his theatrical works to his last.

It was lucky break for the newcomer when Rameau persuaded an established poet, Abbé Simon-Joseph Pellegrin to write the text for his first opera. Pellegrin was a highly respected figure in the opera world and being able to add his name to the frontispiece of the score shored up Rameau's credentials.

MON 22:45 The Essay (m000h02x)
'The Odd Woman', or celebrating five single females

The Spinster

Rachel Cooke explores five versions of the single woman. She starts with the spinster, a word which once had positive origins but is nowadays associated with loneliness and unhappiness. To counter these stereotypes, Rachel takes as her starting point George Gissing's 1893 novel The Odd Women, whose heroines are independent and brave. She explores the shift from spinsters as businesswomen, handling their own affairs, to the repressed and downtrodden figures of more recent popular culture, and argues it's time to embrace the word 'odd'.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (m0018qjt)
Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764)

The Palais Royal

Donald Macleod continues his focus on French composers, inspired by this month’s ‘Tour de France’ cycle race. Today Donald takes a peek backstage at the Paris Opera as Rameau would have known it.

"I have followed the theatre since the age of twelve", so said Rameau to a young composer who wrote to him for advice. It's an intriguing insight into a man who didn't produce his first opera until the age of fifty. Quite why it took him that long isn't clear. Up to that point he had been a church musician, following in his father's footsteps, holding a succession of posts mainly in the South of France. He also taught and established himself as a theoretician of some note. A brief, early sojourn in Paris, a mecca for any theatrical hopeful, ended abruptly when he was still in his twenties. It wasn't until he returned to Paris in 1723 that Rameau was able to start writing music for theatrical entertainments, at first for the popular Fairs, and then finally in 1733 for the Paris Opera. In the midst of constant cultural rows over the merits of French and Italian operatic style, Rameau flourished as a theatre composer.

He completed his final opera, a masterpiece, Les Boréades in 1763, the year before he died at the age of eighty. Across the week Donald Macleod focuses on this remarkable period in Rameau's life, from the first of his theatrical works to his last.

As members of a permanent ensemble employed by the Opera, Rameau was fortunate in being able to write music for some of the most celebrated voices of the day, among them the high tenor, Pierre Jélyotte and the soprano Marie Fel.

TUE 22:00 Free Thinking (m0018qk5)
The Normans

Rana Mitter and guests Judith Green and Eleanor Parker discuss the current state of scholarship on the Normans: a dynamic force in Medieval European politics, or ruthless mercenaries who happened to be very good at PR?

Judith Green's book The Normans: Power, Conquest and Culture in 11th Century Europe looks at the role the Normans played in shaping their world, from Northern France and England, to Southern Italy, the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.

Eleanor Parker's book Conquered: The Last Children of Anglo-Saxon England looks at the generation that came of age as the Normans invaded and consolidated their hold over England, and examines the role they played in shaping the society that followed.

Plus: from the idea of the Norman yoke, to dreams of Hereward the Wake, to contemporary discussions about the right to roam and Brexit, we discuss the role ideas of the Normans and Anglo-Saxons have played in the British political imagination. With historian of ideas Sophie Scott Brown, and Phillip Blonde, director of the think tank Res Publica.

Producer: Luke Mulhall

You can find past episodes of Free Thinking discussing Tudor history, The Vikings and Victorian streets all available to download as Arts & Ideas podcasts.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (m0018qp3)
Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764)

Royal Spectacle

Donald Macleod continues his focus on French composers, inspired by this month’s ‘Tour de France’ cycle race. Today Donald joins Mme de Pompadour in her private theatre at the Palace at Versailles.

"I have followed the theatre since the age of twelve", so said Rameau to a young composer who wrote to him for advice. It's an intriguing insight into a man who didn't produce his first opera until the age of fifty. Quite why it took him that long isn't clear. Up to that point he had been a church musician, following in his father's footsteps, holding a succession of posts mainly in the South of France. He also taught and established himself as a theoretician of some note. A brief, early sojourn in Paris, a mecca for any theatrical hopeful, ended abruptly when he was still in his twenties. It wasn't until he returned to Paris in 1723 that Rameau was able to start writing music for theatrical entertainments, at first for the popular Fairs, and then finally in 1733 for the Paris Opera. In the midst of constant cultural rows over the merits of French and Italian operatic style, Rameau flourished as a theatre composer. At one point he was so successful the management of the Paris Opera decreed no more than two of his works should be mounted per season, to allow other composers to get a look in! He completed his final opera, a masterpiece, Les Boréades in 1763, the year before he died at the age of eighty. Across the week Donald Macleod focuses on this remarkable period in Rameau's life, from the first of his theatrical works to his last.

Among the entertainments Rameau wrote for performance by the King's mistress and her circle of friends was his opera ballet Les Surprises d'Amour.

Paul Lewis Fifteth Birthday Concert

Internationally acclaimed pianist Paul Lewis celebrates his fifteth birthday with his debut solo recital at the Barbican Hall in London. Beethoven is a composer central to Lewis's life, and he bookends his recital with two of the most popular of the Sonatas. In between comes perhaps less expected repertoire. Sibelius's Six Bagatelles are Lewis's lockdown discovery and he pairs them with another set of miniatures: Mendelssohn's Songs without Words are, says Lewis, 'perfect, lyrical miniatures – how can you not want to play them?’ Chopin's Polonaise-fantaisie, at once anguished, desperate and introspective, completes the programme.

Recorded in May and introduced by Martin Handley, including comments from Paul Lewis.

Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor (Pathétique)
Mendelssohn: Songs without Words
No. 1 in E major, Op. 19
No. 3 in G minor, Op. 53

WED 22:00 Free Thinking (m0018qph)
Writing about money

How does money shape history and how do we write about it? Anne McElvoy discusses those questions with two of the finalists in the political writing category of the 2022 Orwell Prize. Adam Tooze's book Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World’s Economy analyses the decisions of finance ministers and central banks and what we can learn from them when we face the next pandemic. While, in Uncommon Wealth: Britain and the Aftermath of Empire, Kojo Koram traces the some of the economic problems faced across the world today with wealth inequality, with sovereign debt, austerity, and precarious employment and how they are bound up in decolonisation. And John Ramsden is concerned with restoring the forgotten place of economics in poetry from Coleridge's interest in cycles of boom and bust to Jonathan Swift's fascination with trade sanctions. Dhruti Shah is a journalist and the author of Bear Markets and Beyond: A bestiary of business terms.

Adam Tooze is Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Professor History at Columbia University and he serves as Director of the European Institute. His books include: Shutdown: how COVID-19 shook the world's economy; Crashed: How a Decade of Financial Crises Changed the World; and, The Deluge: The Great War and the Remaking of the Global Order, 1916-1931.

Kojo Koram teaches at the School of Law at Birkbeck College, University of London, and writes on issues of law, race and empire. He is the editor of The War on Drugs and the Global Colour Line and author of Uncommon Wealth: Britain and the Aftermath of Empire.

John Ramsden is a former career diplomat and ambassador. He is the author of The Poets’ Guide to Economics

Dhruti Shah is a journalist and the author of Bear Markets and Beyond: A bestiary of business terms.

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (m0018qkh)
Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764)

Music and Movement

Donald Macleod continues his focus on French composers, inspired by this month’s ‘Tour de France’ cycle race. Today he considers the role of dance in Rameau's theatrical spectacles.

"I have followed the theatre since the age of twelve", so said Rameau to a young composer who wrote to him for advice. It's an intriguing insight into a man who didn't produce his first opera until the age of fifty. Quite why it took him that long isn't clear. Up to that point he had been a church musician, following in his father's footsteps, holding a succession of posts mainly in the South of France. He also taught and established himself as a theoretician of some note. A brief, early sojourn in Paris, a mecca for any theatrical hopeful, ended abruptly when he was still in his twenties. It wasn't until he returned to Paris in 1723 that Rameau was able to start writing music for theatrical entertainments, at first for the popular Fairs, and then finally in 1733 for the Paris Opera. In the midst of constant cultural rows over the merits of French and Italian operatic style, Rameau flourished as a theatre composer. At one point he was so successful the management of the Paris Opera decreed no more than two of his works should be mounted per season, to allow other composers to get a look in! He completed his final opera, a masterpiece, Les Boréades in 1763, the year before he died at the age of eighty. Across the week Donald Macleod focuses on this remarkable period in Rameau's life, from the first of his theatrical works to his last.

As much as one third of Rameau's operas were made up of dance music, adding an originality to a format which had been established in the time of Louis XIV.

THU 19:30 Radio 3 in Concert (m0018qkr)
Beethoven’s Emperor from the Ulster Hall

John Toal introduces the Ulster Orchestra in concert from the Ulster Hall, Belfast, in a rich programme of Beethoven, Shostakovich and George Walker. The conductor is Jamie Phillips.

The first half is devoted to Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5, The Emperor, with Barry Douglas at the keyboard. It’s one of the monumental masterpieces of the repertoire, sitting between his Leonore Overture No. 2 and Symphony No. 7. and one which particularly resonates with this evening’s soloist.

During the interval John Toal hears from Barry Douglas about this and the 2022 Clandeboye Festival in Co. Down, of which he’s Artistic Director.

Two works make up the second half, beginning with George Walker's Lyric for Strings. It started life as the second movement of a string quartet, before he extracted it, named it Lament and dedicated to his grandmother: a remarkable woman who lost her first husband to the slave trade and endured slavery herself. It later took the title Lyric for Strings, but remained an elegy in his grandmother’s honour.

Shostakovich wrote his Ninth Symphony in 1945 and it was originally intended to commemorate the Soviet victory over Germany in the Second World War. Large forces including orchestra, soloists and chorus, had been promised with the idea of celebrating the Russian people and the Red Army's liberation of their homeland. However, when it finally appeared, neither soloists or chorus featured, and the work's "light" style surprised many. Shortly after its premiere, the work was censored and banned from performance by the Soviet authorities.


THU 22:00 Free Thinking (m0018qkt)

How the speculative and the mythical have shaped and continue to shape black art, film, music and writing. Ekow Eshun, who has curated a new exhibition on this theme at the Hayward Gallery, joins Shahidha Bari along with DJ/turntablist NikNak and New Generation Thinker Louisa Egbunike to discuss how this idea of the Black Fantastic relates to and in some ways challenges Afrofuturism.

In the Black Fantastic runs at the Hayward Gallery, London until 18th September 2022. The exhibition is accompanied by a book and by a season of films at the BFI, including Djibril Diop Mambéty's 1973 film Touki Bouki which you can hear being discussed by Matthew Sweet and guests in another edition of Free Thinking from earlier this year.

NikNak is touring the UK with Sankofa, her latest multimedia project and album, from 12th-18th July.

Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764)

Debate and Dispute

Donald Macleod continues his focus on French composers, inspired by this month’s ‘Tour de France’ cycle race. Today Donald considers Rameau's prickly relationships with colleagues and friends.

"I have followed the theatre since the age of twelve", so said Rameau to a young composer who wrote to him for advice. It's an intriguing insight into a man who didn't produce his first opera until the age of fifty. Quite why it took him that long isn't clear. Up to that point he had been a church musician, following in his father's footsteps, holding a succession of posts mainly in the South of France. He also taught and established himself as a theoretician of some note. A brief, early sojourn in Paris, a mecca for any theatrical hopeful, ended abruptly when he was still in his twenties. It wasn't until he returned to Paris in 1723 that Rameau was able to start writing music for theatrical entertainments, at first for the popular Fairs, and then finally in 1733 for the Paris Opera. In the midst of constant cultural rows over the merits of French and Italian operatic style, Rameau flourished as a theatre composer. At one point he was so successful the management of the Paris Opera decreed no more than two of his works should be mounted per season, to allow other composers to get a look in! He completed his final opera, a masterpiece, Les Boréades in 1763, the year before he died at the age of eighty. Across the week Donald Macleod focusses on this remarkable period in Rameau's life, from the first of his theatrical works to his last.

There's plenty of evidence to support the view that Rameau was a difficult man. But how much of it was true, and how much of it was generated out of spite? Donald Macleod weighs up the available facts.

The Other Vaughan Williams

The BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ryan Wigglesworth in Ravel, a Murail concerto premiere with pianist François-Frédéric Guy, Vaughan Williams, and a new discovery by Franck.

Something erupted inside Ralph Vaughan Williams one morning in 1931, as he read a review of an outspoken new symphony from Europe. The violence, rage and volcanic temper that the composer subsequently channelled into his Symphony No. 4 has been retrospectively analysed as a manifestation of post-traumatic stress – the composer processing his horrific experiences from the First World War as he sensed Europe slipping towards yet another cataclysmic conflict.

Ryan Wigglesworth conducts this riveting British symphony, preceded by music from its composer’s Parisian teacher Maurice Ravel, who like his pupil worked as an ambulance driver at the front during the 1914-18 conflict. In between comes a brand-new piano concerto by the French composer Tristan Murail and before it, the tantalizing world premiere of a symphonic poem by César Franck discarded from his 1872 work Rédemption

Recorded at the Barbican Hall on Friday 13th May
Presented by Hannah French

FRI 22:00 The Verb (m0018r05)
Michael Longley

Michael Longley is one of Northern Ireland's foremost contemporary poets. His debut collection, 'No Continuing City', was published to acclaim in 1969 and since then he has published many more collections of verse, including 'Gorse Fires', which won the Whitbread Prize, and 'The Weather in Japan', which won the T.S. Eliot prize and the Hawthornden Prize.

His major themes are war, nature and love. Perhaps his best-known poem is 'Ceasefire', which, like many of his poems was inspired by The Iliad and was first published in the Irish Times in 1994 thr week the ceasefire was announced. Michael lives in Belfast, but spends much of his time in Carrigskeewaun, which provides the backdrop for many of his nature poems. But for Michael, the love poem is the most important. If poetry is a wheel, as he says 'The hub of the wheel is love'

Ian visits Michael at home in Belfast for a conversation that ranges over a career in poetry that spans over 50 years. Michael published 'The Candlelight Master' in 2020 and later this year will see publication of his latest collection 'The Slain Birds'. Together they talk about form, trees, writers block, the passing of time and the joy of grandchildren.

Where have all the aunts gone? asks Rachel Cooke in her fifth essay about The Odd Woman. She remembers her own maiden aunts, Hilda and Vera and the many aunts that populate literature - from Betsey Trotwood in David Copperfield to Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge in James and the Giant Peach.


FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m0018r07)
Nancy Mounir’s mixtape

Jennifer Lucy Allan shares a mixtape from Cairo-based arranger and composer Nancy Mounir. Mounir plays a range of instruments, including violin, piano, bass, theremin, and the traditional Egyptian bamboo flute called the kawala. Her debut album Nozhet El Nofous, which translates to Promenade of the Souls, explores the microtonality and non-metered rhythms of early 20th-century Egypt and melds archival recordings of famous Egyptian singers with her own ambient arrangements.

Elsewhere in the show, the sparse plucked sounds of Chinese court music from the Tang Dynasty, and caustic electronics from Finnish producer Vladislav Delay, capturing his anxiety and sensory overload when returning to the urban from the respite of the wilderness.
