SAT 19:15 Twenty Minutes (b01m5lh7)
The Human Jukebox

Do you sing in the bath, whistle in the corridors, or hum nervously waiting on the phone?
Why do we sing to ourselves, do we even know we are doing it, and what about those infuriating phrases of music that we find stuck in our heads?
It seems that 90% of the population have experienced the mysterious playing of the 'Human Jukebox' - either whole tunes or short repetitive phrases. Whether to hide embarrassment, pass the time in a mundane job, or celebrate a happy moment, unconscious singing or whistling is a common trait.
Peter Curran, a self-hummer, explores a phenomenon which is under increased investigation.
As our understanding of the brain increases, so we can gather more understanding of how we relate to music, and that includes how so we select tunes from our internal jukebox.
Peter Curran, finds out from Professor Paul Robertson, founder of the Medici Quartet, the connection between music and emotion, and Dr Lauren Stewart, Reader in Psychology at Goldsmiths University, about her research project into the origination and nature of earworms, (or 'Ohrwurm' as they were originally described in German).
Pop producer Clive Langer, writer David Stafford and an assortment of human jukeboxes also share their compulsion to sing out loud.
Next time you find yourself whistling in the bath, maybe you'll understand more about what you are doing.

Producer: Sara Jane Hall

Birtwistle: The Corridor and The Cure

Classical myth's archetypes, elemental symbolism and pitiless laying bare of the human condition have long spurred Harrison Birwistle to produce some of his greatest music, at once multi-layered and direct, violent and tender.

In Birtwistle's two recent chamber operas, the tragic moment when Orpheus turns to look at Eurydice is the subject of The Corridor (2009), while in The Cure (2015) Jason implores his sorceress lover Medea to help his ailing father, Aeson.

Behind the production are some of Birtwistle's most trusted collaborators: librettist David Harsent, designer Alison Chitty, soprano Elizabeth Atherton and tenor Mark Padmore.

Recorded at the Linbury StudioTheatre, Covent Garden and presented by Tom Service in conversation with Harrison Birtwistle.

She's now Professor of Islamic and Interreligious Studies at Edinburgh University. She's a distinguished scholar, but above all she's a communicator, with a regular slot on Thought for the Day. Her latest book, My Way: A Muslim Woman's Journey, is a moving account of how her faith has shaped her life.

She's a leading voice for moderate Islam, unafraid to address the complex and controversial issues facing the Muslim community.
Her choices include piano music by Liszt and Tchaikovsky, an aria from Madame Butterfly, music from Schindler's List, and a ghazal song from Pakistan sung by Mehdi Hassan.

MON 12:00 Composer of the Week (b062jcng)
Francis Poulenc (1899-1963)

Poulenc and the Piano

Poulenc was both sociable and well connected. His many friends included one of the most influential pianists of the day, Ricardo Viñes.
Poulenc could claim many of the leading performers, artists and patrons of the day among his circle of friends. This week Donald Macleod looks at some of the more significant of those friendships and explores how these associations led to artistic collaborations. Donald focuses first on Poulenc's relationship with pianist Ricardo Viñes, followed by harpsichordist Wanda Landowska, poet Paul Éluard and singers baritone Pierre Bernac and soprano Denise Duval.

Poulenc always thought of himself as a product of the prevailing artistic climate of Paris. Born in 1899, he grew up in cultured and comfortable surroundings. His father and two uncles ran a company manufacturing high quality industrial chemicals, while his mother was an accomplished amateur musician who gave the young Poulenc his first piano lessons. The Poulenc's were keen supporters of the arts, frequently attending concerts and the Opera. However, Poulenc did not follow the orthodox route of musical training by attending either the Paris Conservatoire or the Schola Cantorum. This meant that his artistic associations were formed initially through social connections. Viñes was a crucial figure in Poulenc's development as an artist, providing him with vital entrées to Paris's musical circles. This brought Poulenc into contact with artists, writers and most importantly other musicians and composers, a pattern that would continue right across Poulenc's life until his unexpected death in 1963.
Today Donald Macleod considers Poulenc's artistic collaboration with the pianist Ricardo Viñes. When they met Viñes was already a leading figure in Paris, with a reputation for supporting young artists and premiering their work at his concerts. Poulenc took piano lessons from him for three years but beyond that Viñes introduced Poulenc to many useful contacts within the artistic community and premiered his piano works. Poulenc would later acknowledge that meeting Viñes "was a turning point in my life: I owe him everything.".

MON 22:00 Sunday Feature (b042bh3f)
Dylan Thomas the Radio Poet

Writer Rachel Trezise - the first winner of the annual Dylan Thomas Prize - tells the story of Dylan Thomas's broadcasting life.

Dylan Thomas often remarked that his poetry was written as much for the voice as for the page. So it's perhaps not surprising that the writer and poet became a remarkable broadcaster as well. From the late 1930s until his death in 1953, Dylan Thomas was a regular broadcaster for the BBC - for the Home Service, the Overseas Service and, from 1946, for the newly founded Third Programme, the forerunner of Radio 3.

Producer: Martin Williams.


MON 22:45 The Essay (b042bk3l)
Dylan Thomas Centenary

Crossing Dylan's Boundaries

Recorded at the Laugharne Live Festival, in the grounds of Laugharne Castle, West Wales.
Five leading writers and artists reflect on the ways in which they connect with one of Wales's most famous cultural exports, Dylan Thomas.
Professor John Goodby is one of the world's most respected academic authorities on the poetry of Dylan Thomas. Using poems such as the radiant "In the White Giant's Thigh", "And death shall have no dominion" and "A Refusal to Mourn" he explores how the boundaries which Dylan Thomas crossed in both life and art have made it difficult for critics to pigeon-hole his legacy.

Now expanded with the help of 20-ish kindred spirits from the Scandinavian scene, the full ensemble offers a powerhouse approach to the big band lineage, twisting large-scale textures with urgent grooves and an intrepid look into the avant-garde. Trumpeter Franz Hautzinger offers a more intimate take on free improvisation, exploring the full scope of his instrument in an international band featuring pianist John Tilbury, bassist Rozemarie Heggen and drummer Hamid Drake.

Poulenc and the Harpsichord

Poulenc's collaboration with the harpsichordist Wanda Landowska leads to several important large-scale commissions.

Poulenc could claim many of the leading performers, artists and patrons of the day among his circle of friends. This week Donald Macleod looks at some of the more significant of those friendships and explores how these associations led to artistic collaborations, starting with one of the earliest, with pianist Ricardo Viñes, followed by harpsichordist Wanda Landowska, poet Paul Éluard and singers baritone Pierre Bernac and soprano Denise Duval.

His father and two uncles ran a company manufacturing high quality industrial chemicals, while his mother was an accomplished amateur musician, who gave the young Poulenc his first piano lessons.

Poulenc's first encounter with the harpsichordist Wanda Landowska was at the house of the Princesse de Polignac, one of the most influential patronesses of the day. There and then, Landowska charged the young Poulenc with writing her a concerto. It was the start of a series of concertos, and a life-time friendship between them. Meeting her, Poulenc said was, "a capital event in my career".

TUE 22:00 Sunday Feature (b043p4wn)
Per Petterson

Profile of the leading writer in Scandinavia and one of the top contenders for the Nobel Prize. Recorded on location in Oslo, Norway, and Petterson's writing hut in the country.

Petterson's novel 'Out Stealing Horses' has won many awards including the 2007 IMPAC Literary Award. It is the best selling work of Scandinavian fiction (leaving aside crime) in the last fifty years. Petterson is a writer who has suffered tragedy in his life: both parents and one of his brothers were killed in a ferry fire in 1990.

Paul Binding, the author of a study of Ibsen, admires Petterson "for his eschewal of the artificial or fashionable ways of fiction. He doesn't seem tempted to go down any route but the one his theme demands. I suspect that he has always harboured feelings of being unlike other people, and that the ferry accident must have enforced the sense of having a lonely race to run.'

His books tell us - from his own experience - that the dreadful does happen, and to people we love and are close to, but that our respect for them and their lives and our love for other people (and too for ourselves) can and does carry us through. His exploration of that lonely race has made him able to portray one-to-one relationships, particularly the familial, more strongly and honestly than any living writer.

At the heart of the documentary is Petterson's uneasy relationship with his mother which because of her sudden death he was never able to resolve. We also touch upon the nature of fictionalised personal narrative and the blurred lines between 'making things up' and imagining what 'could have' happened in life.

A Childhood Encounter with Dylan

Recorded at the Laugharne Live Festival, in the grounds of Laugharne Castle, West Wales, in 2014.
Five leading writers and artists reflect on the ways in which they connect with one of Wales's most famous cultural exports, Dylan Thomas.

Andrew Davies reflects on the influence of Dylan Thomas on a child growing up in Wales in the 1950s, with aspirations to be a writer. A day trip to Rhossili beach and a Cornish pasty chimed with Davies's role model's account in "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog", but was this the gateway to a future as a poet?

Take part in today's music-related challenge: listen to the clues and identify the mystery person.

WED 12:00 Composer of the Week (b062jstk)
Francis Poulenc (1899-1963)

Poulenc's Poetic Voice

Poulenc's affinity with poetry began with Apollinaire and lead to an artistic association with poet Paul Éluard .

Poulenc could claim many of the leading performers, artists and patrons of the day among his circle of friends. This week Donald Macleod looks at some of the more significant of those friendships and explores how these associations led on to artistic collaborations.

Poulenc always thought of himself as a product of the prevailing artistic climate of Paris. Born in 1899, he grew up in cultured and comfortable surroundings. His father and two uncles ran a company manufacturing high quality industrial chemicals, while his mother was an accomplished amateur musician, who gave the young Poulenc his first piano lessons. However, Poulenc did not follow the orthodox route of musical training by attending either the Paris Conservatoire or the Schola Cantorum. His artistic associations often came about through his social connections.

In today's episode Donald Macleod considers Poulenc's admiration for the poetry of Guillaume Apollinaire and Paul Éluard. Poulenc became close friends with Éluard, regarding him as a "spiritual brother". Over some twenty odd years, Poulenc set over thirty of Éluard's poems to music.

The Landscapes of Charles Jencks

The Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, with its two substantial buildings, is set in extensive grounds. As you approach Modern One, a surprising vista awaits. The lawn to the front opens onto a sweeping, serpentine mound, with curving terraces shaped from the grass. These terraces are reflected in three crescent-shaped pools of water. You pause, compelled to gaze at this dramatic work, drawn to its strange beauty and serenity.

It was designed in 2002 by architect and writer Charles Jencks who at the age of 50, with his wife Maggie Keswick, started to design what he called 'landforms', landscapes that are themselves a work of art, a mixture of 'landscape plus architecture plus urbanism'. It was Maggie who, after being diagnosed with cancer, started the Maggie's Centres, where Jencks has played a guiding role. Since her death, he has spent the last twenty years designing and creating extraordinary landscapes across Scotland - with one in China.

In this Interval, recorded on the summer solstice, writer and broadcaster Anna Magnusson travels to Dumfries on the west coast of Scotland to meet Charles Jencks as he guides her through his latest creation, the Crawick Multiverse.

Jencks creates contemporary settings with the organic grandeur found in Neolithic temples and stone circles and Crawick he describes as "a landscape worthy of the ancients". His landforms explore how we as humans are connected to this, physically and spiritually. He discusses the philosophy behind these very distinctive works, detailing his fascination with the patterns displayed in nature.

Thursday - Sarah Walker with Jonathan Freedland

9am
A selection of music including '5 reasons to love... wind instruments'. From the rude sound of the rackett and crumhorn to the acrobatic bassett horn and the sweet tones of a pair of recorders, Sarah showcases several species of early woodwind. Featuring music by Susato, Pleyel, Bach, Rhaw and Mendelssohn.

9.30am
Take part in our daily musical challenge: identify a piece of music played backwards.

10am
Sarah's guest is the award-winning journalist, author and broadcaster Jonathan Freedland. Jonathan started out as a reporter for The Washington Post, and for BBC Radio 4's 'Today' and 'Newsbeat' on BBC Radio 1. He's currently the executive editor of The Guardian's opinion section and writes a weekly column for the paper, as well as for The Jewish Chronicle and The New York Times. Besides his memoir 'Jacob's Gift', he has also penned a best-selling series of thrillers using the pseudonym Sam Bourne, and presents Radio 4's history series 'The Long View'. Jonathan will be discussing his career and sharing a selection of his favourite classical music with Sarah every day at 10am.

10.30am
During the BBC Proms 2015 Sarah and Rob present Vintage Proms 1915, looking at the Proms season from a century ago and playing music that reflects a time when concert programmes were quite different from those of today. This week Sarah features music ranging from the Japanese National Anthem to Coleridge-Taylor's Petite Suite, and a first performance by Debussy.

11am
This week Sarah features recordings by one of the leading pianists of his generation, Leif Ove Andsnes, who brings his complete Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra to the Proms this week. Sarah features the Norwegian pianist in concertos by Haydn and Grieg, chamber music by Schumann and solo works by Schubert and Janacek; works which capture the pianist's crisp and poetic playing.

THU 12:00 Composer of the Week (b062jstp)
Francis Poulenc (1899-1963)

A Performing Duo

Poulenc's most famous performing partnership with baritone Pierre Bernac, an acclaimed interpreter of his music.

Poulenc could claim many of the leading performers, artists and patrons of the day among his circle of friends. This week Donald Macleod looks at some of the more significant of those friendships and explores how these associations led to artistic collaborations, starting with one of the earliest, with pianist Ricardo Viñes, followed by harpsichordist Wanda Landowska, poet Paul Éluard and singers baritone Pierre Bernac and soprano Denise Duval.

Poulenc always thought of himself as a product of the prevailing artistic climate of Paris. Born in 1899, he grew up in cultured and comfortable surroundings. His father and two uncles ran a company manufacturing high quality industrial chemicals, while his mother was an accomplished amateur musician, who gave the young Poulenc his first piano lessons. However, Poulenc did not follow the orthodox route of musical training by attending either the Paris Conservatoire or the Schola Cantorum. His artistic associations often came about through his social connections.

Today Donald Macleod looks at Poulenc's longest running performing partnership, with the French baritone Pierre Bernac. Their professional association lasted for twenty-five years, until Bernac's retirement. Bernac became a respected authority on interpreting Poulenc's songs and Poulenc both trusted and relied on Bernac's judgement.

The Royal Albert Hall's great organ is showcased in a series of Proms this year, starting with Poulenc's Baroque-inspired Organ Concerto - all Gothic flourishes and grand gestures.

The second half pairs two Classical masterpieces: Haydn's cheery Te Deum and Mozart's enduringly popular 'Jupiter' Symphony.

Followed by great recordings from some of this week's Proms Artists.

THU 22:00 Sunday Feature (b04xrq3w)
Zola in Norwood

In July 1898, one of France's most famous novelists Emile Zola was sentenced to a 3000 francs fine and a year's imprisonment for libelling the military court in his famous public letter 'J'Accuse', written in defence of Alfred Dreyfus. Rather than serve the sentence, this international star fled to the unlikely refuge of suburban south London. There he stayed in hotels and lodgings being minded by his long-suffering translator, Ernest Vizetelly. Michael Rosen explores the political, literary, and personal tensions and overlaps in Zola's life during his eleven month exile.

At the outset Zola and his friends were very concerned that he could be extradited but even when it became clear that he wouldn't be, he kept a low profile - unlike the time he came to London five years earlier when he was feted by thousands. During his stay, he wrote a novel ('Fécondité' - 'Fruitfulness'), a ghost story, many letters and a memoir, between going on regular cycling trips and taking hundreds of photos of the new suburbs in Surrey and Crystal Palace. He observed the English and lamented his isolation. Thanks to his wife Alexandrine's self-sacrifice, first his lover Jeanne and their children came to see him, followed by Alexandrine later.

Michael Rosen follows in Zola's footsteps from the Gare du Nord, Paris to London, Victoria and to Zola's places of stay. He discovers contrasting views of Zola in the Press and examines Zola's literary trajectory at the end of his life. Anton Lesser and Harriet Walter are the voices of Emile and Alexandrine Zola.

Many of the photographs taken by Emile Zola when he was in England and on view in our online gallery, can be seen in 'Emile Zola: Photographer in Norwood South London 1898-1899', published by The Norwood Society.

The music used in the programme is ‘Rambouillet: Nuptial’ taken from Promenades (1893) by Albéric Magnard and played by Stephanie McCallum.

Producer: Emma-Louise Williams.
A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.

Francis Poulenc (1899-1963)

Poulenc's Soprano

Poulenc's performing partnership with soprano Denise Duval, for whom he created the role of Blanche in Les dialogues des Carmélites.

Poulenc could claim many of the leading performers, artists and patrons of the day among his circle of friends. This week Donald Macleod looks at some of the more significant of those friendships and explores how these associations led to artistic collaborations, starting with one of the earliest, with pianist Ricardo Viñes, followed by harpsichordist Wanda Landowska, poet Paul Éluard and singers baritone Pierre Bernac and soprano Denise Duval.

Poulenc always thought of himself as a product of the prevailing artistic climate of Paris. Born in 1899, he grew up in cultured and comfortable surroundings. His father and two uncles ran a company manufacturing high quality industrial chemicals, while his mother was an accomplished amateur musician, who gave the young Poulenc his first piano lessons. However, Poulenc did not follow the orthodox route of musical training by attending either the Paris Conservatoire or the Schola Cantorum. His artistic associations often came about through his social connections.

In the final part of his survey Donald Macleod looks at the artistic collaboration Poulenc enjoyed with the soprano Denise Duval. As well as touring with Poulenc giving recitals, Duval created the solo roles in La voix humaine and La dame de Monte-Carlo and it was for Duval's voice that Poulenc made the role of Blanche de la Force in Les dialogues des Carmélites.

Thom Gunn: Appropriate Measures

Author Colm Tóibín profiles the Anglo-American poet Thom Gunn (1929-2004), self-professed lover of "loud music, bars and boisterous men", whose tightly-wrought poetry imposed control and order upon his hedonistic lifestyle.

It's just over a decade since Thom Gunn died aged 74 at his San Francisco home, after a heroin-fuelled tryst with a man who disappeared into the night. He left behind the love of his life, Mike Kitay, his partner for more than half a century - and a legion of admirers who adored the thrilling tension in his work between its wild, often explicit subject matter, and Elizabethan verse forms of Gunn's literary heroes, Donne and Shakespeare.

Thom Gunn rose to prominence aged only 25, when his first volume "Fighting Terms" was published, just a year after he graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge. Its purity of language and use of traditional metrics led Gunn to be bracketed with Philip Larkin, Ted Hughes and others as "the Movement" - a loose group of poets whose cool, spare verses set them in opposition to the overblown imagery and linguistic excess of 1940s poetry, particularly Dylan Thomas.

Yet a move to the USA that same year would change Gunn's life forever. Following his American lover, Mike Kitay, across the Atlantic, he found himself beguiled by the Harley Davidsons, leather jackets and rock and roll of his adopted homeland - and later, the LSD, free love and gay bathhouses of 1960s San Francisco - all of which he chronicled vividly in his poetry.

His British critics were appalled: for them, Gunn had sadly 'gone bad', squandering his dazzling intellect in debauched experience and worse of all - experiments in free verse. But in the USA it was a different story, as Gunn chronicled LSD trips, sexual adventures and street vagrants in a poetic voice reminiscent of Thomas Wyatt or Ben Jonson.

Gunn would finally receive universal acclaim with his 1992 volume "The Man With Night Sweats" - a profound meditation on the effect of AIDS on the people and community that he loved, and his own feelings on remaining HIV-negative. It is, perhaps, the greatest volume of poetry on what San Franciscans called "The Plague" in English. Yet Gunn was increasingly struggling to write - and as his poetic inspiration dried up, he began to engage in increasingly risky behaviour, endangering his life as he sought out new adventures of experience.

Irish writer and poet Colm Tóibín grew up furtively reading Gunn in a society where his own homosexuality was officially proscribed. He guides us through the themes of control and experience in Gunn's work, and explores the single most shattering event in Gunn's life - one which, Tóibín argues, precipitated the outpouring of his mature poetry and construction of his poetic identity: the suicide of Thom Gunn's mother, when he was only 15.

With contributions from Mike Kitay, Bob Bair, August Kleinzahler, Clive Wilmer, Wendy Lesser, Joshua Weiner, Tom Sleigh, Anne Winters, Jim Powell and Don Baird. The feature includes sexual issues and discusses drug-taking.


FRI 22:45 The Essay (b042bqd3)
Dylan Thomas Centenary

Dylan's Bardic Heritage

Recorded at the Laugharne Live Festival 2014, in the grounds of Laugharne Castle, West Wales.
Five leading writers and artists reflect on the ways in which they connect with one of Wales's most famous cultural exports, Dylan Thomas.
Poet and musician Twm Morys explores the links between Wales's poetic heritage and Dylan Thomas's writing. Drawing on memories of living in Thomas's hometown of Swansea, he considers whether Thomas's writing is universally acknowledged to represent the cultural landscape that nurtured its creation.
