Other Mothers

Parenthood isn't just about watching your kids. Sometimes it's about watching each other.

The writer Kate Clanchy asked women across the country to talk about the other mothers around them:

"Other mothers never spend the day watching Spongebob."

"Other mothers walk past me without a glance."

"Other mothers get what one of those days is."

The result is a dark, funny radio poem which explores our deepest divides - and our brightest areas of unity.

Alex Horne

Michael Berkeley's guest this week is the award-winning comedian Alex Horne, who has taken six solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe, including 'Every Body Talks' (2004), 'When in Rome' (2005), 'Birdwatching' (2007), and 'Odds' (2010). He has toured his shows nationally, and published two books based on them, 'Birdwatchingwatching', and 'Wordwatching'. Words are particularly important to him, and he takes delight in creating new ones, as well as filming a documentary for BBC4 - 'The Games that Time Forgot: Cricket on Horseback and Other Forgotten Sports'. He has also created the innovative jazz comedy show 'The Horne Section', and is currently making a world record attempt to become the world's oldest man.

His musical passions begin with the Rondo from Mozart's Fourth Horn Concerto, and continue with an extract from Prokofiev's 'Peter and the Wolf', which was one of the pieces which first introduced him to classical music as a child. His next choice is 'Morning' by Editus, followed by the third movement of Victor Hely-Hutchinson's Carol Symphony, another childhood favourite. J.P. Sousa' s famous 'Liberty Bell' March, which inevitably brings Monty Python to any comedian's mind, is followed by Viktoria Mullova playing 'Winter' from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and Alex Horne's choices end with a musical tribute to another of his great passions, Cary Swinney's 'Birdwatching'.


SUN 13:00 The Early Music Show (b0128m7j)
Early Travel

A History of Early Music Travel

Travel is such a common thing today, that one barely stops to think about the risks which it incurred before our modernised transport systems. But from Oswald von Wolkenstein to Dufay, from Bach to John Bull, composers throughout history risked life and limb to travel, for work, for study or simply for new experiences. In the second of this weekend's Early Music Shows dedicated to travel, Catherine Bott explores these early musical journeying pioneers.

SUN 20:00 Drama on 3 (b0128md3)
Widowers' Houses

Martin Jarvis directs Ian McKellen, Charles Dance and a starry cast in Bernard Shaw's first play. Written in 1892 it became an immediate success and remains astonishingly relevant in the present property investment world. Funny, observant, incisive in examining moral dilemmas and business ethics. What happens if an Englishman, decent enough in private, shuts his eyes and conscience to the monstrous abuses of the poor by slum landlords, especially if the remedy might affect his own financial security? The theme has resonated down the years.

A Jarvis and Ayres Production for BBC Radio 3.


SUN 21:45 Sunday Feature (b0128mdr)
Dark Arcadias

Episode 1

Adam Nicolson presents the first of a two-part exploration of humankind's relationship with nature, told through the cultural accounts of the arcadian wild we have made. This is a journey from the cave paintings of Chauvet in France to the Cape Farewell - artists as eco-warriors - project. To be human is to construct arcadias: of the mind and for real, escapes and escape routes. Culture is made in the recognition of the gap between wildness and the self. But accounts of the gap are made on and of the earth, and they cannot be heavenly. So arcadia is always dark. Death lives at its heart. This is what the cave paintings describe and the melting ice maps tell. Et in Arcadia ego.

Producer: Tim Dee

First broadcast in July 2011.


SUN 22:30 Words and Music (b00rpvtd)
The South Country

Inspired by the recent republication of Edward Thomas's essay collection The South Country, the weekly sequence of music, poetry and prose celebrates the landscape of southern England, in particular three counties in which the poet loved to walk: Sussex, Hampshire and Wiltshire.

Tamsin Greig and Neil Pearson read prose by fellow observer-wanderers Gilbert White, William Cobbett and Richard Jefferies, and poetry by such lovers of the south as Flora Thompson, Andrew Young, Hilaire Belloc, Molly Holden and, of course, Edward Thomas himself. The music includes orchestral music and songs by John Ireland, Michael Tippett, The Copper Family and the English Acoustic Collective among others.


SUN 23:30 Jazz Line-Up (b0128mdw)
Julian Arguelles and John Taylor at the 2011 Cheltenham Jazz Festival

Claire Martin with concert music from saxophonist Julian Arguelles & pianist John Taylor recorded at this year's Cheltenham Jazz Festival. Plus journalist Kevin Le Gendre unearths a forgotten classic album and celebrates the music of French bassist Henri Texier in 'Now Is The Time'.

Today's concert set was recorded in the intimate setting of the Pillar Room at Cheltenham Town Hall, one of the key venues at this year's Cheltenham Jazz Festival. The performance captures the inspired pairing of Arguelles and Taylor playing at the top of their game, showcasing their own compositions alongside classics including Holst's In The Bleak Midwinter.

Julian Arguelles was a member of the acclaimed UK big band "Loose Tubes" and has worked with a range of artists including Steve Swallow, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, Dave Leibman, Jim Black, Peter Erskine, Kenny Wheeler and Carla Bley. John Taylor has been an important musician on the landscape of the UK's jazz scene since the late 60's and has worked with Gil Evans, Cleo Laine, John Surman, Jan Garbarek, Enrico Rava and Lee Konitz. In 1977 Taylor formed the iconic jazz trio Azimuth, with Norma Winstone and Kenny Wheeler. This set documents two musicians exploring and searching for news ways of expressing their art in the bold context of a duo setting.

Monday - Sarah Walker

In Classical Collection this week, Sarah Walker's Artist of the Week is the pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, who was born in Karmoy, Norway in 1970, and studied at the Bergen Music Conservatory under the renowned Czech professor Jiri Hlinka. Andsnes cites Dinu Lipatti, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Sviatoslav Richter, and Geza Anda among the pianists who have most inspired him. He has been nominated for seven Grammys and awarded many international prizes, including five Gramophone Awards and the Royal Philharmonic Society's Instrumentalist Award.

We hear him today as concerto soloist in Haydn's most popular Piano Concerto and in chamber music from Schumann. Also today, a selection of music from the Building a Library recommended recording of Monteverdi's Selva morale e spirituale and pieces connected with the Italian artistocracy from Pacoloni and Tchaikovsky.


MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b0128ml0)
Gian Carlo Menotti (1911-2007)

Episode 1

Donald Macleod introduces the music of Gian Carlo Menotti - a composer who stood apart from his age, creating delightful operas when the genre had pretty much been pronounced dead. Right from his childhood puppet shows, Menotti's musical talents were hard-wired to the theatre. But the huge success in America of Menotti's Amelia Goes to the Ball had one slight cloud: his partner, Samuel Barber, composer of the now much more famous Adagio for Strings, felt that their relationship might be threatened by Menotti's sudden acclaim.

Matthew Sweet is joined by critic Nigel Floyd and film maker Asif Kapadia to review acclaimed director Terrence Malick's new film, 'The Tree of Life', this year's Palme d'Or winner at Cannes .

He examines the enduring appeal of Orpheus. Biographer and journalist Ann Wroe reveals why she has been drawn to write a history of this mythical figure who is present through two and a half millennia and yet remains, in part, an elusive and ever-changing figure.

Matthew goes to the National Portrait Gallery to feast on Glamour of the Gods: a survey of Hollywood portraiture from the industry's golden age. Photographer and former picture editor Eamonn McCabe discusses the history of the images and how they differ from photographs of today's film stars.

Anna Massey died yesterday at the age of 73 after a long and distinguished acting career. Playwright David Hare pays tribute to her.

And the fourth of Radio 3's New Generation Thinkers, Lucy Powell, reflects on the phrase "doing time" in prison and why the whole concept of 'time' changed during the 18th century.

Live from Tewkesbury Abbey

Bach from Tewkesbury Abbey - Part 1

Live from Tewkesbury Abbey, Tewkesbury

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

J.S. Bach's cantatas BWV147 "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben" with its famous chorale "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring", and the more reflective yet equally glorious "Jesu, der du meine Seele", are testament both to Bach's personal faith and his fascination with the religiously significant number, three.

Emotional Breakdown

Hope

The last in a six-part series of lively conversations examining how and why certain pieces of music make us feel the way they do. In each programme, presenter Suzy Klein and two guests explore a theme such as tragedy, romance or defiance. They champion favourite pieces that evoke the theme and discuss just what it is about the music that pulls these emotional strings. Tonight's theme is hope, with arts critic Charlotte Higgins and composer Tarik O'Regan talking to Suzy about Handel, Richard Strauss and Reich.

Presenter: Suzy Klein

Bach from Tewkesbury Abbey - Part 2

Live from Tewkesbury Abbey, Tewkesbury

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

J.S. Bach's cantatas BWV147 "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben" with its famous chorale "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring", and the more reflective yet equally glorious "Jesu, der du meine Seele", are testament both to Bach's personal faith and his fascination with the religiously significant number, three. The Magdalena Consort and director and baritone Peter Harvey complete their tribute to Bach's fascination with numbers with the Brandenburg Concerto no 3, scored for three violins, three violas and three cellos and the virtuosic motet "Lobet den Herrn".

He said he went to Scotland because he loved the country and he loved silence: "In my country silence is too expensive. I love the cold". The locals in a nearby village were immediately intrigued, awarding him the nickname 'Mr McNaughty'. With Donald Macleod.
