The threat to reduce the staff of the three English orchestras by 20% has not been lifted, but it is being reconsidered.

SAT 12:15 Music Feature (b00pf3y1)
Lessons with Mozart

Jeremy Summerly eavesdrops on Thomas Attwood's composition lessons with Mozart. 'Study strict counterpoint for a year', said Mozart to the young Englishman freshly arrived in Vienna in 1785, 'and then we'll talk about fugues...'.

Remarkably, the manuscripts from their lessons over the next year and a half survive, as does the study in Mozart's luxury apartment near St Stephen's Cathedral in the centre of Vienna; they provide a unique glimpse of a great composer setting out the tools and techniques of his trade.

Also listening in to the master and pupil scribbling notes and wisecracks side by side are the Mozarthaus director Gerhard Vitek, composer and teacher Antony Pitts and the British Library's curator of music manuscripts Nicolas Bell. With the voices of Nicholas Dixon, Kathryn Knight and Toby Scholz as well as students from the Royal Academy of Music.

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (b00hwwrg)
Michael Morpurgo

Michael Berkeley welcomes the much loved children's author Michael Morpurgo, author of over 100 books of 'magical storytelling'. His 1982 novel 'War Horse', the poignant story of a Devon-bred colt who is shipped off to France as a cavalry horse during the First World War, was turned into a smash hit production at the National Theatre, and is still playing to packed houses in London's West End.

Morpurgo has never shied away from the grittier, even tragic aspects of life. His most recent books are 'The Kites are Flying', about a journalist who travels to the West Bank to explore life on both sides of the wall that divides Jews and Palestinians; and 'Running Wild', a heart-rending tale about a boy caught up in an Indonesian tsunami who is saved by the elephant he happens to be riding at the time.

He sang in his school choir, and several of his Private Passions choices reflect his love of vocal music, including Tallis's great 40-part motet 'Spem in alium', Alfred Deller singing Purcell's 'Fairest Isle', Anthony Rolfe-Johnson singing Handel's 'Where'ere you Walk', the opening chorus of Bach's 'Christmas Oratorio', which for him represents the spirit of Christmas, and Kathleen Ferrier singing 'Sound the Trumpet', from Purcell's 'Come ye sons of art away'. He visits Venice often, and his love of the city is reflected in his choices of Vivaldi's Concerto in D for lute and strings, while his passionate love of the English countryside finds an echo in the third movement of Beethoven's 'Pastoral' Symphony, and in 'Nimrod' from Elgar's 'Enigma' Variations. (Rpt).


SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b00h3ycc)
Christmas Carols

Catherine Bott looks back on the origin of the Christmas carol and roots out some of the original versions of some of today's popular tunes. Carols appeared in Europe thousands of years ago, but they weren't originally the Christmas fare we know today. They were pagan songs for the Winter Solstice and people would sing them as they danced around stone circles. The word 'carol' suggests a dance-song expressing praise or joy. Early Christians took over the pagan solstice celebrations and so the link was established between carols and Christmas. More often than not Christmas carols were popular tunes to be performed in gathering places or in the streets, only slowly did they start to find there way into the church.

Some of the melodies for today's popular carols are very old, and through the course of this programme Catherine draws on some of the original versions of the carols, for songs such as Ding Dong Merrily On High and Good King Wenceslas. She explores some of the ways in which early composers have brought carols into the body of the church service.

Vaughan Williams: Symphony No 5

Stephen Johnson explores one of Vaughan Williams's most tranquil works - his Symphony No 5 in D.

The work was begun in 1938, just before the outbreak of the Second World War, and completed in 1943, and its serenity was set against the horrific backdrop of violence taking place throughout Europe at the time. Vaughan Williams conjures tonal images of the English countryside and often alludes to the sounds of Elizabethan polyphony.

In a recording made at Glasgow's City Halls in October 2008, Paul Daniel conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in excerpts and a complete performance of the work.

By Annie Caulfield.

Brian O'Nolan was an Irish writer, columnist and civil servant who wrote novels such as The Third Policeman under the pen name of Flann O'Brien and popular satirical newspaper columns as Myles na gCopaleen, while at the same time working as a civil servant in Dublin under his real name. This play imagines what might have happened had the three of them got together on the day when O'Nolan was asked to leave his civil service post.

Brian O'Nolan ...... Ardal O'Hanlon

SUN 21:30 Sunday Feature (b00jkt2z)
18th Century Season - Liquid Assets: Tracing Handel's Thousands

Peter Day, BBC Business Correspondent looks at Handel's extraordinary success on the stock market and looks into financial matters involved in putting on operas and oratorios in eighteenth century London.

Handel speculated in the newly formed London stock market throughout his life in the capital. Strikingly, he put money into South Sea stock in 1716 when prices were low and had sold up by 1720 when the South Sea credit bubble burst in one of the great financial cataclysms in fiscal history. Many others lost fortunes, including Sir Isaac Newton, warden of the Royal Mint. Handel profited handsomely and, while others shied away from the uncertainties of speculation, he continued to invest throughout his life. From 1744 Handel's investments just grew and grew.

Talking to Handel experts and financial historians, Peter Day enters the tough economics of eighteenth century music making and visits the Bank of England to see Handel's extravagant signature on numerous ledgers as he traded annuities.

First broadcast in April 2009.


SUN 22:15 Words and Music (b00pdclx)
Sound of Cinema: At the Movies

For Sound of Cinema, a selection of poetry, prose and music inspired by the movies. Poets and composers have been associated with the cinema since it began well over a hundred years ago. In the early years Russian poet Mayakovsky, Jean Cocteau, W.H. Auden and Bertolt Brecht were all involved as were the composers William Walton, Erich Korngold, Max Steiner and Elmer Bernstein.

In Words and Music at the Movies poems include Tony Harrison's 'Continuous', Carol Ann Duffy's 'Big Sue and Now Voyager', EE Cummings's 'your slightest look' (heard in Woody Allen's 'Hannah and her Sisters') and Roger McGough's 'If life's a lousy picture, why not leave before the end?' with music from Michael Nyman, Mozart, Schumann, Bernard Herrmann, Aubert, Miles Davis, Nino Rota, Jerry Goldsmith and Ennio Morricone.

The readers are Barbara Flynn and William Hope.

Examining the dark sides of Wagner, Donald Macleod explores the composer's self-obsession.

Wagner believed he was an extraordinary artist set apart from other men and, in the character of Lohengrin, the idea of a hero separated from ordinary mortals is followed to its logical conclusion. Wagner's perspective is revealed in his own words, against the backdrop of music from the opera.

Amazingly, although the original orchestral parts were lost when the studio destroyed its music library to make way for a car park, Wilson has succeeded in reconstructing the scores by painstakingly transcribing each soundtrack by ear. He is joined by starry singers from the classical and musical theatre worlds as well as by the elite Maida Vale Singers.

Using recordings of patients, the devices some of them were attached to, and the hospital itself, the piece weaves together intensely personal narratives with the sounds of the hospital environment, exploring the experiences of transplant patients and the important issues raised by this invasive, last-option medical procedure.


MON 22:00 BBC Proms (b00pdyww)
2009

Prom 37: Philip Glass

From the BBC Proms 2009 season, Petroc Trelawny presents a concert devoted exclusively to the music of American minimalist composer Philip Glass. The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and BBC Symphony Chorus are joined by violinist Gidon Kremer and conductor Dennis Russell Davies, both long-term advocates of Glass's music.

Harmonic, pulsing and with constant repetition of small figures or phrases, minimalism blossomed from a small underground movement on the west coast of the United States in the 1960s to becoming one of the most popular forms of late 20th-century music. Philip Glass, one of its early pioneers, is one of the most prolific, influential and instantly identifiable composers of our age.

This Prom showcases two of his most important works for full orchestra: his first major orchestral score - the Violin Concerto of 1987 - and the Toltec Symphony of 2004, which takes its title from the ancient pre-Columbian culture that reigned in Mesoamerica long before the coming of the Europeans.

Handel: Theodora

Set in the fourth century AD, Handel's late great dramatic oratorio tells the story of Christian oppression and triumph of the spirit. It features that favourite character type of Handel's in the title role, a strong female lead and a powerful use of the chorus which takes the roles both of persecuted Christians and their Roman persecutors.

Prom 35: Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience

From the BBC Proms 2009 season, Petroc Trelawny presents Charles Mackerras conducting a semi-staged performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's exuberant operetta Patience, which opened the famous Savoy Theatre in London in 1881.

The operetta satirises the fad of the 1870s and 1880s known as the aesthetic craze, when poets, painters and composers were prolific but, some argued, empty and self-indulgent. And Patience, the simple village milkmaid, cares nothing for poetry.

Dream Astronomy

In the early years of the 20th century, letters arrived at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California written by people from all over the world who wanted to tell the astronomers information about the universe that they had acquired without using the observatory's giant telescope.

The letters contained details of experiments, observations and intuitions, and read like an alternative history of space.

With John Moraitis, Kerry Shale, Barbara Barnes and Jennifer Lee Jellicorse, plus the music of Olivier Messiaen and Urmas Sisask.


TUE 22:15 BBC Proms (b00pdwdg)

Prom 27: Harrison Birtwistle 75th Birthday Prom

From the BBC Proms 2009 season, Petroc Trelawny presents a late-night Prom marking the 75th birthday of composer Sir Harrison Birtwistle given at the Royal Albert Hall in August.

The London Sinfonietta and Birtwistle have formed a close bond over the past four decades, and under the baton of their co-founder David Atherton, they revisit three of the composer's early works - all of which the ensemble originally premiered.

Verses for Ensemble showcases the virtuosity of the ensemble with brass, wind and percussion all vying for the listener's attention. In Silbury Air and Carmen arcadiae mechanicae perpetuum, Birtwistle explores the mysterious and the mechanical with imaginary landscapes and colliding musical ideas.

FRI 17:00 Words and Music (b00fr76s)
Winter

This week’s Words and Music is devoted to the season Emily Dickinson described as the time when the sky is low and the clouds are mean: winter. Winter in the countryside is celebrated in Wordsworth’s ‘The Prelude’ when, as a child, he and his friends skated along the ice, flying through the cold in the darkness. With this you’ll hear Peter Maxwell Davies’ ‘At the lochan’ from his ‘Seven Songs Home’, the series of songs which tell the story of children in the Orkneys making their way home from school on a winter’s afternoon. Mark Doty’s walk with his dogs as the sun sets is heard alongside the Finnish composer Rautavaara’s concerto for birds and orchestra, ‘Cantus Arcticus’. The memory of winter past is heard in David Hartnett’s ‘Two winters’ in which a man, now a parent himself, remembers his father shovelling snow outside his childhood home, a time in which he dreamed that the snow fell for years ‘and the ray of stars like birds’ feet flecked the white’. Winters in California and Tangiers are evoked by the poets Karl Shapiro and Sarah Maguire – in one the pink camellias line the paths, in the other ‘hibiscus blooms burn, scarlet, cerise, tangerine’. The programme ends with Robert Frost’s ‘Stopping by woods on a snowy evening’ and Wayne Barlow’s rhapsody for oboe and strings inspired by Appalachian folk songs, ‘Winter’s Passed’.

Performance on 3: Proms 2009

Prom 50: Beethoven's Fidelio

From the BBC Proms 2009 season, Petroc Trelawny presents Daniel Barenboim conducting a concert performance of Beethoven's Fidelio - the composer's only opera, which is an impassioned defence of freedom and justice.

With a star-studded cast, the work is sung in German but with an English narration devised by the scholar and historian Edward Said. The opera's themes are given a particular poignancy by the participation of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra - the ground-breaking group founded ten years ago by Barenboim and Said which brings together young Israeli and Arab musicians and continues to serve as a beacon of trust, understanding and dialogue between nations in conflict.
