10.30am Building a Library: Richard Wigmore on Haydn’s Harmoniemesse in B flat
In 1802, when Haydn completed the Harmoniemesse (having, as he put it, "toiled wearily and laboriously"), the 70-year-old was acknowledged as Europe's greatest living composer. The mass setting, Haydn's last major completed work, never gained the same popularity as his two late oratorios The Creation and The Seasons. But it has long been recognised as one of Haydn's supreme achievements into which, despite old age and failing health, he poured a lifetime of experience to create music both fresh and inspiring. The orchestra is the largest Haydn used for any of his six masses and its name comes from its large section of wind ('harmonie') instruments.

SAT 11:45 Music Matters (m001dy0c)
Tine Thing Helseth, London Jazz Festival and Arts Council England Funding
On the eve of the launch of her new album, ‘Seraph’, featuring works for trumpet and string orchestra by James Macmillan, Grieg, and Satie, Tom Service speaks to Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth about her diagnosis with cancer last year, her relationship with music during gruelling treatment, and the conscious decision she made after her recovery to commit again to a career in music.
As Arts Council England reveals its 2023-26 national portfolio of funded organisations, Music Matters speaks to ACE’s Director of Music, Claire Mera Nelson, about the body’s investment decisions. We hear from a cross section of organisations who’ve seen changes to their public funding, as well as first-time recipients, with contributions from Chief Executive of the Paraorchestra, Jonathan Harper; Artistic and Executive Director of MishMash productions, Liz Muge; and Chief Executive and Artistic Director of the Britten Sinfonia, Meurig Bowen.
And as the EFG London Jazz Festival celebrates its 30th anniversary, Tom’s joined by jazz author and presenter, Alyn Shipton, former Director of Serious (the creative company who administer the festival) Claire Whitaker; and the British-Bahraini jazz trumpeter, flugelhornist and composer, Yazz Ahmed, who discuss how the British jazz scene has evolved since the early 90s.

SAT 13:00 Inside Music (m001dy0h)
Saxophonist Amy Dickson finds elegance and energy in music
As the London Jazz Festival gets underway, saxophonist Amy Dickson presents a playlist that extends from Mozart and Perotin to Oscar Peterson and Tom Scott.
Amy is not only a virtuoso on her instrument, she has also spent years exploring the transformative power of something we all do without ususally thinking about it - breathing. The music she chooses often reflects that interest, as she finds long, controlled lines in pieces played by artists ranging from Alfred Brendel and the Hilliard Ensemble to Sammy Davis Junior and Zoot Sims.
Amy also focusses on the sounds produced in the recording studio, including the warm, grainy tone of a 1960s Hollywood string section and the special recorded balance given to one of her favourite pianists, Igor Levit.
Plus she reveals the challenges she faces when she tries to play Irish folk music.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.

SAT 15:00 Sound of Cinema (m0012pd6)
The Return of The Lord of the Rings
Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings is one of contemporary cinema's milestone moments. Now, more than 20 years since it first appeared, Matthew Sweet devotes the whole of this week's programme to the series and to what is one of the most ambitious of all film scores - Howard Shore's remarkable ten-hour epic. Matthew is joined by the musicologist Doug Adams, who worked alongside the composer deconstructing some of the incredibly complex ingredients that constitute Shore's musical story-telling. Shore took as his basis Richard Wagner's leitmotif idea, where musical themes and statements are used to represent characters and ideas in the films. When these themes are combined and varied symphonically, they present a complete aural picture of the narrative to complement and enhance the story as it is unveiled on the screen. Together, Matthew and Doug unpick some of the main musical ideas in Shore's score and reveal just how far-reaching the music for LOTR is.

SAT 18:30 Opera on 3 (m001dy0v)
Puccini's Il trittico
Soprano Asmik Grigorian stars in all three operas of Puccini's Il trittico in a performance with the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Franz Welser-Möst.
Puccini wrote the three one-act operas which make up Il trittico in the middle of the First World War. These seemingly unrelated stories all share the theme of individuals trapped in the grinding mills of unfreedom. Written in the more compressed style of his later operas, these three works contain moments of high drama and soaring melody. In this production by Christof Loy the normal order of the operas is changed.
So we start with the Comedy of Gianni Schicchi set in Florence, in the house of Buoso Donati, who has just died. The cunning Gianni Schicchi finds a way to win the inheritance for himself. In Il tabarro (‘The Cloak’) set in Paris, the barge owner Michele suspects his stevedore Luigi of an affair with his wife, Giorgetta. In Suor Angelica the young nun Angelica has been banished to the convent for an indiscretion. When she learns that her young son has died, she decides to take her own life.
Recorded earlier this summer at the Salzburg Festival in Austria.
Georgia Mann in conversation with opera expert Roger Parker introduces these three tales of love, jealousy, greed, despair and death.

Elsewhere in the show, Corey Mwamba showcases some of the other adventurous musicians on this year’s London Jazz Festival billing, including a trio of saxophonists: US legend Anthony Braxton, the visionary “sound-quilter” Matana Roberts, and rising UK star Xhosa Cole.

She’s also published memoirs, including an astonishing book about her childhood, The Three of Us.
Julia shares her love of Beethoven, Pergolesi, English folk song, music from central Africa, and the songs of Billie Holiday, which helped her through her a childhood marked by chaos and neglect.

Wagner’s Ring Cycle: The Ultimate Box Set Binge
Tom Service explores classical music’s ultimate binge-listening box set - Richard Wagner’s apocalyptic four-part 16-hour marathon music drama, The Ring.
Cram packed with heroes, heroines, gods and goddesses, it took 25 years to write and has inspired everyone from JRR Tolkien to Francis Ford Coppola and Bugs Bunny.
Selfishness, deception, hypocrisy, greed, destruction; like all good box sets they’re all in there, but what’s The Ring really about? And what can we, and perhaps today’s world leaders, learn from it?
Tom has half an hour to find out.
SUN 17:30 Words and Music (m0010153)
Translation
Miscommunication, the multiple meanings of words and what it means to translate emotion into music are explored in today's programme. Our readers Jonathan Keeble and Emily Pithon bring us Humpty Dumpty's wonderfully pugnacious encounter with Alice, in which he states "When I use a word it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less', we hear Nabokov's commentary on words within Eugene Onegin, underscored by the musical version of Pushkin's novel in verse, composed by Tchaikovsky. A recent work from poet laureate Simon Armitage is a modern retelling of the medieval poem The Owl and the Nightingale. Another excerpt comes from TS Eliot's The Wasteland in which he quotes, in German, from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. And New Generation Thinker Islam Issa has picked out an Arabic translation by Professor Mohamed Enani of Shakespeare's Sonnet 18: Shall I Compare Thee.

The Sonic Century: The Microphone
“Testing, testing… 1, 2, 3… Is this thing on?”
Oral historian Alan Dein explores the world-changing cultural history of an overlooked object.
When we think about the last 100 years of recorded and broadcast sound, we might think about the programmes, the listeners, or maybe the dynamics and physics of it: the mysteries of the ether or the magic of a needle on a disc.
One small thing is often forgotten – ignored and literally spoken over – omnipresent but invisible, just out of frame.
The microphone.
It’s the Zelig of recorded history, a disregarded presence as the world turns.
The microphone was there; it’s heard it all.
At first an uncanny contraption approached with apprehension. Now an object of ubiquity. In our microphone-saturated era of ‘surveillance capitalism’, a smart speaker in the kitchen is now also a smart listener.
The history of the microphone is a history of forgetting all about it.
Alan Dein explores the cultural history of the microphone and argues that this unobtrusive, tenacious thing has changed our lives more profoundly than we realise.

Mhairi Aitken, Ethics Research Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute

David Edgerton, historian and author of The Shock of the Old

The Harlem Renaissance
Making Strides
As World War I ends, an African American cultural revolution is taking place in Harlem. Donald Macleod is joined by jazz trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis, as he discovers how Willie ‘The Lion’ Smith pioneered a new way to play piano.
The northern Manhattan neighbourhood of Harlem was meant to be an upper-class white neighbourhood, but rapid overdevelopment led to empty buildings and desperate landlords seeking to fill them. In the early 1900s, in what became known as the Great Migration, African Americans from the south moved north to New York in droves, searching for work after the war, and hoping to escape the racial violence tearing through America. Harlem became a centre for Black culture in the city, drawing in poets like Langston Hughes, thinkers like W. E. B. Du Bois and musicians. These musicians pioneered new forms of jazz and blues, subverted the expectations of Black performers and broke through into the mainstream. This week, Donald Macleod is joined by jazz trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis, as he traces the rise and fall of the Harlem Renaissance, transporting us from rent parties to nightclubs to Broadway, as we hear a joyful, soulful explosion of sound.
In Monday’s episode, Donald explores the music of Willie ‘The Lion’ Smith, who learned to play on a rotting organ in his mother’s basement, but would later help develop a new, more sophisticated way to play piano, called ‘stride’, which defined the music of the Harlem Renaissance. He got his start performing at a gangster’s club, then made a name for himself at the highly competitive ‘rent parties’, raucous affairs which took place in people’s tiny New York flats. A flamboyant performer, ‘The Lion’ was never seen without his bowler, with a cigar between his lips, and was known for dancing as he played.

Plus the Australian singer and songwriter Ry X transports us to his safe haven, the place he feels most calm, with the soothing sounds of the waves on the coast of California where he lives.

Miniatures
Khangela
Researchers Bongani Kona and Catherine Boulle have spent the last year piecing together the story of one woman’s decades-long search to find the remains of her father, a South African political activist who died in 1966. In between visiting old prisons and sifting through archival collections, Bongani begins dreaming about the ghost of his own father, a man he's never met.
The quest to uncover the meaning behind these recurring dreams leads to Julia, a spirit medium and healer, who practices one of the oldest forms of divination on the planet – “throwing the bones”. In consultation with ancestral and spirit worlds, Julia deciphers “energy fields within one’s psyche, spirit and soul body.” This is all to bring solace to troubled souls and minds; to “these soft houses in which we live”, as Kei Miller writes, “and in which we move and from which we can never migrate, except by dying.” Khangela, in isiXhosa, is to look, or to search.
Khangela forms part of our recurring series of miniature audio-works for Radio 3's home for adventurous radio-making - Between the Ears. In this series, five audio-makers from around the world were invited to choose a card from the tarot deck as a creative prompt for their idea. The card at the heart of Khangela is The High Priestess.
Bongani Kona is a writer, and a lecturer in the department of history at the University of the Western Cape. Catherine Boulle is an audio maker and writer, currently based at the University of Cape Town. Together, Catherine and Bongani won the 2021 Whickers Radio & Audio Funding Award for their documentary about South Africa's Missing Persons Task Team, and the case of James Booi.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001dy7v)
The Harlem Renaissance
Shuffle Along
As the Harlem Renaissance picks up steam, two composers set out to create the first all Black Broadway musical. Joined by Wynton Marsalis, Donald Macleod discovers the legacy of Shuffle Along.
The northern Manhattan neighbourhood of Harlem was meant to be an upper-class white neighbourhood, but rapid overdevelopment led to empty buildings and desperate landlords seeking to fill them. In the early 1900s, in what became known as the Great Migration, African Americans from the south moved north to New York in droves, searching for work after the war, and hoping to escape the racial violence tearing through America. Harlem became a centre for Black culture, drawing in poets like Langston Hughes, thinkers like W. E. B. Du Bois and musicians. These musicians pioneered new forms of jazz and blues, subverted the expectations of Black performers, and broke through into the mainstream. This week, Donald Macleod is joined by jazz trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis, as he traces the rise and fall of the Harlem Renaissance, transporting us from rent parties to nightclubs to Broadway, as we hear a joyful, soulful explosion of sound.
In 1917, Josephine Baker was just 11 years old, not yet an icon of the Jazz Age, when she stood in terror, watching race rioters burn her hometown of East St Louis. She decided then she’d do anything to get out, and her opportunity came in the form of a new Broadway musical, composed by Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle. The pair had devised a musical to be performed entirely by African-American actors, musicians and dancers - the first of its kind to feature on Broadway. It was Baker’s big break as a dancer, and some say it was the beginning of the Harlem Renaissance.

The House in a House forms part of our recurring series of miniature audio-works for Radio 3's home for adventurous radio-making - Between the Ears. In this series, five audio-makers from around the world were invited to choose a card from the tarot deck as a creative prompt for their idea. The card at the heart of The House in a House is The Tower.
Marta Medvešek is a Croatian audio producer with a soft spot for helping stories cross language borders. She’s produced work for BBC Radio 4’s Short Cuts, Resonance FM, The Allusionist, Deutschlandfunk Kultur and BBC World Service. Since winning the Best European Radio Documentary prize at the 2021 Prix Europa, her piece “Fly or Die” has already traveled to Germany, Sweden, Lithuania, Belgium and Italy.

The northern Manhattan neighbourhood of Harlem was meant to be an upper-class white neighbourhood, but rapid overdevelopment led to empty buildings and desperate landlords seeking to fill them. In the early 1900s, in what became known as the Great Migration, African Americans from the south moved north to New York in droves, searching for work after the war, and hoping to escape the racial violence tearing through America.

As a young man, Langston Hughes dreamed of being a poet in Harlem, a place he had come to think of as “the greatest Black city in the world” - but his father had other ideas. He wanted Langston to pursue engineering, not believing an African American man could succeed as a writer. Despite his father’s wishes, Langston did make it to Harlem, where he would become one of the defining voices of the renaissance and his writing would inspire a generation of musicians.

First performed in America in 1946 he initially said there was no programme behind it, but later in life he suggested he'd been influenced by filmed footage of the Second World War. Brahms's Double Concerto was his last orchestral piece; inspired partly by his desire to make amends to his friend, violinist Joseph Joachim after siding with Joachim's wife during divorce proceedings. Although not received well at its premiere in 1887 (comments from friends he trusted led Brahms not to write a second he had planned) the conversation between solo instruments gives the piece warmth and energy. Beethoven's Sixth Symphony ends the concert and there is no reticence about a programme here; Beethoven himself named it "Pastoral" and we join him as he relaxes into life in the countryside.

Miniatures
feeling body
feeling body is part of a series of pieces reflecting on the physical and psychological experiences during and after an extended period of illness (long-COVID). The work draws on multiple symbolisms, from The Nine of Swords in the Minor Arcana, to the undercurrent of water, where long baths were a point of solace during the experience of debilitating symptoms. Interspersed with perspectives of internal and external interactions, voiced by the composer in multiple ways as well as a by Kiswahili text-to-speech voice, and with additional sounds from performers Yaz Lancaster (voice, violin) & Michael O’Callaghan (trumpet), the piece blurs the lines between a perspective from the time of illness and one in retrospect, underlining an inevitable consequence of illness: how it arrests, irreversibly, one’s awareness of their living body.
feeling body forms part of our recurring series of miniature audio-works for Radio 3's home for adventurous radio-making - Between the Ears. In this series, five audio-makers from around the world were invited to choose a card from the tarot deck as a creative prompt for their idea.

The Harlem Renaissance
Symphony in Black
Duke Ellington was a musician who defined the Harlem Renaissance. Jazz composer and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis tells Donald Macleod how Ellington’s music inspires him.
The northern Manhattan neighbourhood of Harlem was meant to be an upper-class white neighbourhood, but rapid overdevelopment led to empty buildings and desperate landlords seeking to fill them. In the early 1900s, in what became known as the Great Migration, African Americans from the south moved north to New York in droves, searching for work after the war, and hoping to escape the racial violence tearing through America. Harlem became a centre for Black culture, drawing in poets like Langston Hughes, thinkers like W. E. B. Du Bois and musicians. These musicians pioneered new forms of jazz and blues, subverted the expectations of Black performers and broke through into the mainstream. This week, Donald Macleod is joined by jazz trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis, as he traces the rise and fall of the Harlem Renaissance, transporting us from rent parties to nightclubs to Broadway, as we hear a joyful, soulful explosion of sound.
In the 1920s, African American musicians made their names in the segregated nightclubs of Harlem. Duke Ellington arrived in Harlem a total unknown, but his residency at the infamous Cotton Club gave him national recognition as an originator of big band jazz. But he didn’t want to play to white-only audiences forever. His composition Symphony in Black featured in one of the first films with an entirely Black cast to be widely distributed, launching the career of Billie Holiday and becoming a new landmark in the Harlem Renaissance.

Landmark: Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu
Tonight's edition of Free Thinking is devoted to one of the landmarks of European literature – Marcel Proust's gigantic novel, A la recherche du temps perdu, which is perhaps best known in English as In Search of Lost Time.
Matthew Sweet gathers together four Proust fans from very different backgrounds - the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, Jane Smiley, the psychotherapist, Jane Haynes, Christopher Prendergast, who has edited the latest translation of the book and from France, the writer, Marie Darrieussecq. The actor Peter Marinker tackles the difficult task of giving an English voice to Proust.
You can download this programme by searching under the Arts and Ideas podcasts and the broadcast date.
The novel is a modernist masterpiece which offers a symphonic account of what it meant to be alive in France as the 19th century became the 20th. To read it is to explore the mechanics of human sensibility -- it is comic, tragic, discursive, scholarly, obscene, vicious and heartfelt but above all profoundly self-aware. Sometimes it reads like a journal or a gossip column; sometimes like autobiography; from times like a scholarly monograph: and often as delicious parody; the coils of Proust's language slows time right down and tempts the reader ever further into the maze of self-examination.
Human attachment lies at the heart of the book - whether it's a young boy's love of his grandmother, a grown man's obsessive sexual interest in a young woman or the self deceptions of narcissism. But these are just a few of the book's facets as the mind of its narrator moves from the marriage of his bourgeois family's neighbours in the country, the Swanns, to the glamour and snobbery of the aristocracy in Paris.

Beyond the Box
Filling out a form, Mido is confronted with a series of boxes to tick. Two familiar boxes emerge from the crowd and stand side by side. One says ‘Male’. The other says ‘Female’.
Beyond the Box is an intimate and inquisitive immersion into the nature of these boxes and what life is like living beyond them.
Developed through a series of facilitated workshops, producer Christina Hardinge invites friend Mido to explore their personal lived experience of being ‘put in a box’. By integrating the therapeutic tools of visualisation and guided imagery with interview, together they imagine new ways of framing this conversation.
Christina Hardinge is a Bristol based audio producer and multi-disciplinary artist working creatively in the field of documentary. She has over 10 years experience of telling intimate personal stories rooted in interview; spanning across the mediums of audio, film, theatre and immersive installation. Winner of the Charles Parker Radio Prize and nominee for Prix Europa's Rising Star audio award, her work has been broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Short Cuts and exhibited at international festivals.
Beyond the Box forms part of our recurring series of miniature audio-works for Radio 3's home for adventurous radio-making - Between the Ears.

The Harlem Renaissance
Marching Out
Louis Armstrong gets his big break as the Harlem Renaissance comes to an end. Jazz composer and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis tells Donald Macleod how the movement changed music.
The northern Manhattan neighbourhood of Harlem was meant to be an upper-class white neighbourhood, but rapid overdevelopment led to empty buildings and desperate landlords seeking to fill them. In the early 1900s, in what became known as the Great Migration, African Americans from the south moved north to New York in droves, searching for work after the war, and hoping to escape the racial violence tearing through America. Harlem became a centre for Black culture, drawing in poets like Langston Hughes, thinkers like W. E. B. Du Bois and musicians.

This week, Donald Macleod is joined by jazz trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis, as he traces the rise and fall of the Harlem Renaissance, transporting us from rent parties to nightclubs to Broadway, as we hear a joyful, soulful explosion of sound.
In 1924, a twenty-three-year-old Louis Armstrong arrived in New York with no classical training, hoping to make a career as a trumpeter. His playful style and charismatic ad libs made him stand out in the orchestra; soon he had a residency at Connie’s Club and Fats Waller was recruiting him to liven up his musical. But as Armstrong was getting his big break, Harlem was crumbling under the Great Depression. Louis had to make a decision: stay in Harlem where he made his name, or move back to the South…

Miniatures
The Beach
In this piece, the fool stands at the edge of the cliff, looking up at the sky.
She asks herself, “How did I get here?”
And also, “Where am I meant to go?”
Part of our recurring series of miniature audio-works for Radio 3's home for adventurous radio-making - Between the Ears. In this series, five audio-makers from around the world were invited to choose a card from the tarot deck as a creative prompt for their idea. The card at the heart of this edition is The Fool.

Forest improvisations and hand-built harps
Jennifer Lucy Allan explores musical roads less travelled, with free jazz musicians Peter Brötzmann and Han Bennink improvising out in the wilds of Germany’s Black Forest, and the sound of a hand-built aeolian harp - an instrument whose strings are played by the wind - designed by London-based multi-instrumentalist and composer Quinta following an inspirational period of time spent living in Greece. Elsewhere in the show, we return to Kraków with Polish-born audiovisual artist and instrument-maker Wojciech Rusin to hear a specially-commissioned piece performed at this year’s Unsound festival.
