SAT 01:00 Ultimate Calm (m001fnvp)
Ólafur Arnalds: Series 1

Soothing music for sleep feat. Dominic Monaghan

Join Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for another hour-long musical journey seeking out that elusive feeling of calm.

In this episode, Ólafur takes us on a sleepy sonic journey to the land of nod, with a selection of dreamy music. He shares music from Brambles, Debussy and Sigur Rós, and reflects on his own relationship with sleep as well as the curious nature of Icelandic lullabies.

Plus, the actor Dominic Monaghan transports us to his Safe Haven, the place where he feels the most calm, with recordings and reflections from his garden.

SAT 23:00 New Music Show (m001q728)
Michael Finnissy's Andersen Liederkreis

Kate Molleson explores some of the latest sounds in New Music.
Explore Ensemble gives the world premiere of Alex Paxton’s Spit Crystal Yeast-rack, dripping (Á l’orange), a roller coaster ride at constant risk of coming off the rails. As the title suggests, the piece isn’t about anything in particular, but creates its own paradoxical world of teeming multicolour life, absurdity, Boschian sarcasm, and exuberance. Also tonight, Mimi Doulton sings Michael Finnissy's Andersen Liederkreis at the Spitalfields Festival. Written in the wake of a visit to Hans Christian Andersen's house, Michael Finnissy says that this forty-five minute work "reclaims some of the poems, travelogues and surreal paper cut-outs he saw there and reworks them into a set of Lieder in which the dominant themes are song, clothes, appearances and death." There's also a new track - Death is Standing Above the Skies' from Cedrik Fermont's latest album, a new track from Julia Reidy and the show ends with one of Eliane Radigue's ongoing cycle of OCCAM pieces; this one for the Breton piper Erwan Kervec.

Sarah Walker with an energising musical mix

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.

Today, there’s a jolly piece for wind by Charles Gounod that’s full of syncopation, exhilarating choral music by Galina Grigorjeva, and Vikingur Olafsson explores all the sonic possibilities on the piano in a sarabande by Debussy.

Sarah also plays Paul Dukas’s ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,’ which many people will know from its famous appearance in Disney's Fantasia, and there’s a fresh take on Led Zeppelin's ‘Going to California’ for lute and harp.

Plus, Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto no.4 is played in its full earthy glory by the English Baroque Soloists…

Jeremy Deller

Jeremy Deller is a difficult artist to pin down. He’s won the Turner Prize and represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, but you’re just as likely to find his work on our streets as in a gallery.

In 2016, marking the centenary of the Battle of the Somme, thousands of young men in World War One uniforms appeared unannounced in stations, shopping centres and towns across the UK. Each participant represented a soldier who died on 1 July 1916. Jeremy called this work We’re Here Because We’re Here. 15 years earlier, he recreated the clash between striking miners and police officers in the Battle of Orgreave. He’s toured a rusting car from a street bombing in Iraq around the USA, and in 2012 he created a life-sized inflatable version of Stonehenge which you could bounce on.

His musical choices are suitably wide-ranging and sometimes unexpected: taking us on a journey with sounds from across the world, but including Beethoven, Monteverdi and Vaughan Williams.

What's the Point of Symphonies?

What exactly is a symphony, and how can one written in the 18th century by the ‘father of the symphony’ Joseph Haydn (he wrote over a hundred), have anything in common with one written today? Where did they come from in the first place, and why did they come to dominate classical music for centuries? Why do they still feature in almost every orchestral concert programmed, when so few are actually commissioned? Tom Service investigates with help from our witness, composer Deirdre Gribbin.

SUN 17:30 Words and Music (m001q738)
Twins and doppelgangers

The involuntary double-take occasioned by seeing two people who look exactly alike or, imagine this, of coming face to face with your own likeness. This edition of Words and Music focuses on twins and doppelgangers. Lewis Carroll’s Tweedledum and Tweedledee rub shoulders with Carol Ann Duffy’s Kray Sisters, while Romulus and Remus are brought to life by the European Saxophone Ensemble, and the Ashvins, twin gods from Hindu mythology, sing to each other in Ravi Shankar’s opera Sukanya. The doppelganger appears in Schubert’s chilling and tragic song of the same name, while Imtiaz Dharker reveals our doubles who lurk in the pages of fiction. The likeness that that is always near at hand – our shadow – is sung about by Judy Garland and comes alarmingly to life in a story by Hans Christian Andersen. Another pair of twins – the twin cities of Cork and Coventry - are celebrated in verse by Raef Boylan and musically by Seán Ó Riada and Benjamin Britten respectively. The readers are Tracy-Ann Oberman and Don Gilet.

SUN 18:45 Sunday Feature (m001q73d)
Brazilian Modernist Godfather

In 1922, the centenary year of Brazil’s independence, a group of artists in São Paulo organised a Modern Arts Week of music, poetry, and talks. At the time, the work was greeted with anger and derision. Today, one hundred years on, the Semana de Arte Moderna is recognised as a pivotal moment in the development of art, and in forever changing the identity of Brazil itself.

This is the story of those revolutionary modernist artists, including Heitor Villa-Lobos and Oswald de Andrade, who advocated “cannibalism” in order to liberate Brazil from colonial history and European ideals.

But this is also the secret story of Radio 3 and BBC Proms presenter Katie Derham, and her close personal connection to one of the great Brazilian modernists, the poet Manuel Bandeira. He was Derham’s father’s godfather, and great-grandmother's lover, discreetly dedicating poems to both of them.

As Derham delves into her family history, and immerses herself in a bold, radical, creative period of Brazil’s history, she will gather contributions from:

- Katie’s Aunt Sasha.
- David Slavitt, an American poet, translator, and author of more than 100 books.
- Saulo Gouveia, Professor of Portuguese language and Luso-Brazilian Culture courses at Michigan State University.
- Cyro Baptista, Brazilian percussionist.
- Kenneth David Jackson, Professor of Luso-Brazilian literatures and cultures at Yale University.
- Alexandre Dias, founder of the Brazilian Piano Institute, which collects and digitises rare recordings.
- Leslie Bary, Professor in Latin American Literature and Comparative Literature at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette.

SUN 19:30 Drama on 3 (m0018yl5)
He Do The Waste Land in Different Voices

"Hurry up please, it's time."

History pushes through the cracks of time: harried workers hurry across the river; in the glow of footlights an actor gives his final performance; in a seedy room Madame Sosostris turns the cards; a poet returned from the Great War, and his wife, both miserable in their marriage, wait for something to happen; a street prophet, a seer, finds his faith tested. Marie, an elderly displaced countess, somewhere in Europe, remembers her childhood, reads all night and waits for summer; while in a London pub women gossip. Watching over all of this, Tiresias, who can see everything, records the abuse of a young typist.

"These fragments I have shored against my ruins."

Eliot started writing The Waste Land as the Great War drew to a close and continued through the slippery, unsettling and uneasy post-war times that followed. The bodies of dead soldiers still littered the fields of France and Belgium, and those who returned are shell shocked, physically shattered and struggling to feed their families. In Whitehall committees meet to consider the threat of anarchism. Eliot's writing gropes to understand one world slipping away while another crawls out of the rubble. At the same time, as Eliot was to reflect, he was suffering from, 'a feeling of guilt in having married a woman I detested, and consequently a feeling that I must put up with anything.' His second wife, Valerie Eliot, recalled the years of The Waste Land, 'a terrible nightmare to him... all the horror.'

An early title for the poem was He Do The Police in Different Voices. It was taken from Dickens and refers to a character who read the newspaper out loud very well. Eliot was not to write drama for another ten years but the first glimmers of Eliot the dramatist are here in The Waste Land. It has been described as a radio play written before such a thing existed. It is possible to trace different characters, different voices, through the poem; this is the approach taken for this production which is faithful to the text, recorded word for word as written, relishing the collection of voices within it.

Every word in the text is from the authorised text including the line reinstated by the Estate in the 2015 published edition of The Waste Land, and never before broadcast.

It is recorded in binaural and best listened to with headphones.

Before the poem itself, a Preface, an exploration of the poem with Lyndall Gordon (Senior Research Fellow, St Hilda’s College Oxford), Professor Mark Ford (University College London), Professor Seamus Perry (University of Oxford), Professor Stephen Connor (University of Cambridge). Nancy Fulford, archivist for the T S Eliot Estate, shows us some precious first editions and a revealing letter from the collection.

SUN 23:00 Cello Retold (m0013hx7)
Virtuosity and the Voice

South African cellist, singer and composer Abel Selaocoe explores the infinite bounds of the cello, looking at how virtuosic power and vocal expression carries through similar instruments around the world.

In this episode, Abel explains how the cello's phenomenal virtuosity and human-like voice is common to similar instruments in other cultures, including the Eritrean wata and South African lesiba, and delves into how poetry and storytelling is communicated through the cello. With some incredible improvisations Abel demonstrates how he creates so many fascinating sounds on the instrument such as circular bowing inspired by Lesotho's sekhankula, and moves from the virtuosity of Bach to the yearning expressivity of Egyptian tonality, as well as improvising on the music of Tanzania's Wagogo people.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001q74x)
Carlos Chávez (1899-1978)

Educating a Rebel

Carlos Chávez was both a rebel and an educator. Born in a Mexico on the brink of revolution, he would go on to single-handedly revolutionise Mexican music and culture, filling his compositions with indigenous Aztec stories and sounds. Many cite Aaron Copland as an influence on Chávez, but the truth may have been the reverse. While Copland was championing American music in the States, Chávez was fighting for it in Mexico, educating the next generation of Mexican composers. He may have shaped American music more than any other - yet his legacy is little known. Odaline de la Martinez joins Donald Macleod to explore his life and work.

In today's programme, Donald finds a young Chávez, learning piano, as a ruthless regime is wrought outside his window. At first, the European avant-garde captures his imagination but soon he discovers inspiration a little closer to home.

MON 19:30 Radio 3 in Concert (m001q759)
Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, conductor Gustavo Dudamel

Venezuela's flagship orchestra, conducted by the charismatic Gustavo Dudamel bring a fusion of Venezuelan alongside Mahler's folk-infused Symphony No 1. Paul Desenne named his work Guasamacabra - a twisted kind of joke, which starts with a simple melody and evolves into something more complicated, reflecting his dismay at the current events in Venezuela. Gonzalo Grau's concerto is written for the national instrument of Venezuela - a small folk guitar with four strings. It was written for tonight's soloist, the grammy award-winning latin musician Jorge Glem who is a something of a national treasure. The music traces a fictional journey as he leaves his home in Cumaná and travels east over 400 miles to the home of Gustavo Dudamel in the village of Barquisimeto.

Mahler too takes his listener on an epic journey in his first symphony, beginning with the quietest shimmer of ethereal sound through the earthy reality of street music and kletzmer and a child's nursery tune played by a mournful double bass. At times both terrifying and joyful, the symphony encapsulates the human condition on a vast canvas. A symphonic journey that captures the whole world through Mahler's imagination.

Paul Desenne: Guasamacabra
Gonzalo Grau: Odisea, Concerto for Cuatro and Orchestra

Interval:
Rafaelo Gonzalo: Maracaibero performed by Jorge Glem and Cesar Orozco
Teresa Carreño: Memories of my homeland performed by Alexandra Oehler

MON 22:45 The Essay (m0013j05)
Unearthing Britannia's Tribes

The Cantiaci

The Essay unearths the peoples of Iron Age Britain from warrior queens to Lindow Man in a major new series.

"We are the last people on earth, and the last to be free: our very remoteness in a land known only to rumour has protected us up till this day. Today the furthest bounds of Britain lie open—and everything unknown is given an inflated worth. But now there is no people beyond us, nothing but tides and rocks and, more deadly than these, the Romans." Tacitus, Agricola

Explore the worlds of ancient Albion; from the western reaches of Cornwall to the tribes of Essex and across to the wilds of Scotland and Wales. Their stories, footprint and traces have been dug from the ground, pored over by archaeologists and historians, and informed by the accounts of travellers and conquerors who visited the far shores of exotic Britannia for trade or glory. With the arrival of Caesar's armies, nothing would be the same again.

In this episode archaeologist David Miles, tells the story of the Cantiaci of Kent and how the inhabitants of this 'land on the edge' became the first to fall under Rome's influence.

TUE 12:00 Composer of the Week (m001q745)
Carlos Chávez (1899-1978)

The Roaring Twenties

Carlos Chávez was both a rebel and an educator. Born in a Mexico on the brink of revolution, he would go on to single-handedly revolutionise Mexican music and culture, filling his compositions with indigenous Aztec stories and sounds. Many cite Aaron Copland as an influence on Chávez, but the truth may have been the reverse. While Copland was championing American music in the States, Chávez was fighting for it in Mexico, educating the next generation of Mexican composers. He may have shaped American music more than any other - yet his legacy is little known. Odaline de la Martinez joins Donald Macleod to explore his life and work.

In today's programme, Chávez arrives in New York at the height of the Roaring Twenties. Chavez is just another young man with big ideas, making the pilgrimage, in the hope of finding like-minded, daring thinkers. It's here that he met Aaron Copland. Though they made an unlikely pair, they became fast friends. As Chávez wrote to Copland: "You and I see things in the same light."

And at the concert's core, an award-winning, poll-beating work by Hans Abrahamsen, 'Let me tell you', in which the orchestra is joined by soprano Jennifer France.

2. Cornwall. Caradoc Peters of Plymouth University has been in love with the Iron Age past of a land and people that hovered between an ancient landscape of nature spirits and one where the living and the dead inhabited close but separate parallel worlds. It was a place of many small, fragmented communities, paradoxically at the cutting edge of new developments.

WED 22:00 Free Thinking (m001q76q)
Queer history, new narrative in San Fransisco

New narrative was a way of mixing philosophical and literary theory with writing about the body and pop culture. It was promoted by a group of writers in 1970s San Francisco. One of the chapters in New Generation Thinker Diarmuid Hester's new book Nothing Ever Just Disappears explores their work. He joins Dodie Bellamy in a programme exploring different aspects of the gay imagination and the re-inventing of tradition presented by Naomi Paxton. Alongside them is Lauren Elkin, author of a study of unruly bodies in feminist art called Art Monsters which explores artists including Carolee Schneemann, and the influence of writers like Kathy Acker. And James Corley has adapted a play, opening at Wilton's in London, which takes an influential essay by Merle Miller as its starting point.

Producer: Luke Mulhall

You can find a collection called Identity Discussion on the Free Thinking programme website which includes episodes about including Rocky Horror and camp, the V&A exhibition Diva, punk, tattoos, and perfecting the body.
Based on the essay On Being Different by Merle Miller, James Corley's What It Means is at Wiltons Music Hall in London 4th - 28th October 2023

WED 22:45 The Essay (m0013jnz)
Unearthing Britannia's Tribes

The Parisi

The Essay unearths the peoples of Iron Age Britain from warrior queens to Lindow Man in a major new series.

"We are the last people on earth, and the last to be free: our very remoteness in a land known only to rumour has protected us up till this day. Today the furthest bounds of Britain lie open—and everything unknown is given an inflated worth. But now there is no people beyond us, nothing but tides and rocks and, more deadly than these, the Romans." Tacitus, Agricola

Explore the worlds of ancient Albion; from the western reaches of Cornwall to the tribes of Essex and across to the wilds of Scotland and Wales. Their stories, footprint and traces have been dug from the ground, pored over by archaeologists and historians, and informed by the accounts of travellers and conquerors who visited the far shores of exotic Britannia for trade or glory. With the arrival of Caesar's armies, nothing would be the same again.

In this episode archaeologist and poet Melanie Giles describes the rare chariot burials which distinguish the Parisi of East Yorkshire.

Carlos Chávez (1899-1978)

Power or Freedom?

Carlos Chávez was both a rebel and an educator. Born in a Mexico on the brink of revolution, he would go on to single-handedly revolutionise Mexican music and culture, filling his compositions with indigenous Aztec stories and sounds. Many cite Aaron Copland as an influence on Chávez, but the truth may have been the reverse. While Copland was championing American music in the States, Chávez was fighting for it in Mexico, educating the next generation of Mexican composers. He may have shaped American music more than any other - yet his legacy is little known. Odaline de la Martinez joins Donald Macleod to explore his life and work.

In today's programme, we find Chávez at an all-time high. Commanding an orchestra, directing a new fine art institution, giving lectures and lessons, left, right, and centre. He's finally able to support the next generation of Mexican composers - but his own composing is suffering. Will he have to give up his newfound power, in order to keep making the music that made his name?

Violinist Clara-Jumi Kang at the Edinburgh Festival

From the Queen's Hall, violinist Clara-Jumi Kang makes her Edinburgh Festival debut with a solo recital.

Bach was a violinist himself and his partitas for solo violin using Baroque dances are a celebrated part of the violin repertoire. As are Ysaye’s Opus 27 sonatas each written with a specific violinist in mind; the fifth for Belgian violinist Mathieu Crickboom captures his colourful character. A set of variations on themes by Paganini closes the recital, written by Nathan Milstein and considered some of the most challenging music for violinists to play.

Yuja Wang, the Oslo Philharmonic and conductor Klaus Makela at the Edinburgh Festival

Two jazz-influenced works open tonight’s concert with the international piano virtuoso Yuja Wang, the Oslo Philharmonic and trailblazing young conductor Klaus Mäkelä

Ravel heard jazz during a concert tour of America in the late 1920s and he used some of those sounds and sensibilities in his G major and D major piano concertos, working on them both simultaneously. He had in mind the concerto in G for himself and the one in D (for the left hand) for the Austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein. For this Ravel created in his own words a ‘solemn kind of traditional concerto’, challenging himself to write a ‘texture no thinner than that of a part written for both hands’. After the interval Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony, written at the height of the Stalin regime in Russia when the composer was under intense scrutiny – a work that remains enigmatic to this day.

Unclassified Live: Max Richter’s Voices at Bluedot Festival

Elizabeth Alker presents a performance of Max Richter’s Voices recorded in July at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire on the opening night of this year’s Bluedot Festival.

Voices is a musical exploration of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and begins with an archival recording of Eleanor Roosevelt reading from Article 1: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights…” Richter’s 55-minute work, first realised in the troubled world of 2020, takes shape around the sound of the human voice in various guises: wordless soprano melodies, choral textures, declamatory statements and amateur recitations from the landmark document in over seventy languages (recordings crowdsourced online by the composer) combine and overlap across the movements of a sonic journey anchored by the rich lower registers of a string ensemble.

At Bluedot, the BBC Concert Orchestra was conducted by Matthew Lynch, and joined on stage by soloists Mari Samuelsen (violin) and Grace Davidson (soprano) alongside Tenebrae choir and the composer Max Richter (piano / electronics). Dressed in an electric blue suit, against the backdrop of the iconic Lovell Telescope, Tilda Swinton stood in the role of narrator to read passages from the historic text at the heart of Richter’s piece.

“There is something really inspiring about this setting - the telescope is so beautiful. And actually, the ideas that the telescope embodies - the search for knowledge, inquiry, curiosity - those are things that are fundamental to creativity and they are some of the best things about human beings.” ~ Max Richter, 20th July 2023.

Carlos Chávez (1899-1978)

Rebirth

Carlos Chávez was both a rebel and an educator. Born in a Mexico on the brink of revolution, he would go on to single-handedly revolutionise Mexican music and culture, filling his compositions with indigenous Aztec stories and sounds. Many cite Aaron Copland as an influence on Chávez, but the truth may have been the reverse. While Copland was championing American music in the States, Chávez was fighting for it in Mexico, educating the next generation of Mexican composers. He may have shaped American music more than any other - yet his legacy is little known. Odaline de la Martinez joins Donald Macleod to explore his life and work.

In today's final programme, Donald explores Chávez's legacy through the music of his students. At 70, Chávez was still producing some of the most exciting compositions of his career - but perhaps his most interesting work was as a teacher. He was openly critical of the Conservatory's failure to produce competent composers, and so was developing his own techniques, teaching his pupils to take classic pieces and transform them, making the piece their own. Chávez raised the next generation of Mexican composers - but in his final years, he left Mexico behind.

FRI 22:45 The Essay (m0013jr8)
Unearthing Britannia's Tribes

The Demetae

The Essay unearths the peoples of Iron Age Britain from warrior queens to Lindow Man in a major new series.

"We are the last people on earth, and the last to be free: our very remoteness in a land known only to rumour has protected us up till this day. Today the furthest bounds of Britain lie open—and everything unknown is given an inflated worth. But now there is no people beyond us, nothing but tides and rocks and, more deadly than these, the Romans." Tacitus, Agricola

Explore the worlds of ancient Albion; from the western reaches of Cornwall to the tribes of Essex and across to the wilds of Scotland and Wales. Their stories, footprint and traces have been dug from the ground, pored over by archaeologists and historians, and informed by the accounts of travellers and conquerors who visited the far shores of exotic Britannia for trade or glory. With the arrival of Caesar's armies, nothing would be the same again.

In this episode, poet Menna Elfyn senses the enduring presence of the Demetae in Carmarthen, the oldest town in Wales.

Producer: Ellie Bury

FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m001q79n)
Casseptember: Goldblum

Verity Sharp continues our month-long celebration of cassette culture with a unique commission from Dutch duo Goldblum plus reflections on tapes from Phew, Ata Kak and Felix Kubin.

Born in 2020, the brainchild of Marijn Verbiesen and Michiel Klein, Goldblum crafts lo-fi sound collages, based predominantly around tape loops with the addition of keyboards, sounds gleaned from a variety of objects and vocals. In their practice, the duo love to go on the hunt for unlabeled home-dubbed cassettes at flea markets and thrift shops, which, they say, always bring “a sense of surprise and beauty” to their music-making. For their Casseptember commission, Goldblum use the portable cassette tape player as their principal instrument in the pursuit of surreal and kaleidoscopic sound-worlds.

Elsewhere in the show, a host of artists close to Late Junction hearts will be sharing their cassette memories: Phew recollects her first encounters with tapes when she was a teenager in Japan, while German experimenter Felix Kubin presents a self-made sound library that he recorded with his younger brother Max in 1985.

Plus, we revisit the Late Junction mixtape from Ghanaian highlife artist Ata Kak, whose self-released cassette Obaa Sima from 1994 became world-famous after it was discovered by Brian Shimkovitz, almost 25 years later. This musical find was the inspiration behind Shimkovitz’s Awesome Tapes From Africa blog and it led to Ata Kak - by then in his seventies - touring the world as an acclaimed musician.
