10.30am Building a Library: Kate Kennedy on Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending
Continuing Radio 3's Vaughan Williams Today season, marking the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth, Kate Kennedy chooses her favourite recording of Ralph Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending.
In Vaughan Williams' modal and folk music-inflected The Lark Ascending a solo violin takes flight above the orchestra evoking for many the very essence of an idealised English countryside. But this popular work, written on the eve of the First World War, has perhaps inevitably become freighted with nostalgia for both a lost generation and a rural way of life which was soon to vanish forever.

SAT 11:45 Music Matters (m001cyln)
Music in Northern Ireland
This week Kate Molleson focusses on Northern Ireland. She visits Beyond Skin, an arts collective using music as a means for cultural education and exchange. The collective has been working with musicians seeking asylum and refugee status through creative collaboration and social support.
The Lambeg Drum is one of the world's loudest (and largest) acoustic instruments and is sometimes described as the Heartbeat of Ulster. Kate meets Willie Hill and Dr Diana Culbertson in Co. Antrim and they talk about the role the drum plays within the musical and Ulster-Scots community.
And, as the Department of Education in Northern Ireland announces its Shared Education Strategy, aiming to create conditions which will enable partnerships working across religious and socio-economic divides, Kate visits Malvern Primary School to talk to educators about the role music has in delivering these ambitions.

She has recently joined Radio 3's New Generation Artists and is hugely in demand as both a soloist and chamber musicians.
Jess and Geneva sit down for a listening party of the music they love the most, including tracks by Britten, Brahms and Billie Eilish.
SAT 13:00 Inside Music (m001cyls)
Viola player Roísín Ni Dhuill’s selection ranges from wild beauty to focussed control
Roísín Ni Dhuill takes us deep into the string section of the orchestra with personal insights into how a Mahler symphony sounds from the very middle of the concert platform, and how performing a slow movement by Tchaikovsky requires both immense concentration and group awareness.
Roísín also remembers how her ears were ‘on stalks’ in a German opera pit as she heard Cecilia Bartoli perform unforgettable vocal feats on the stage above her head.
And she tries to get her head (and hands) around the way that traditional Irish fiddler Kevin Burke uses his bow to create unique percussive effects.
A series in which each week a musician explores a selection of music - from the inside.

SAT 15:00 Sound of Cinema (m001cyly)
Vaughan Williams and Film
Vaughan-Williams was very progressive and open minded with regard to the role of the film composer and the merit of the film score. He was keen to “try his hand” at composing for film in the 1940s not least because he thought it would fulfil his need to play a “useful role” during the war years. He wrote his first score for Powell and Pressburger’s propaganda 1941 film ‘The 49th Parallel’ and went on to score another ten films, including the celebrated and ambitious ‘Scott of the Antarctic’. At a time when writing music for film was regarded merely a serviceable and functional undertaking, Vaughan-Williams maintained a characteristic open mind. He considered the comparatively new art form to be rich with potential and could foresee a time when perhaps the symbiotic relationship between music and picture might be creatively and artistically enhanced. His score for Scott of the Antarctic went on to form the basis of his seventh symphony.
In this special edition of Sound of Cinema marking this year’s Vaughan Williams anniversary, Matthew Sweet examines the composer’s personal philosophy on music for film. He features key music moments from the rich legacy the composer left the cinema, considers VW’s decision making when matching music to image, and puts him in context with the work of his British contemporaries. The programme is rich in examples from the composer’s music for the cinema.

Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah in concert
Jumoké Fashola presents concert highlights from New Orleans trumpeter Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah (formerly known as Christian Scott) from a recent performance in New York City. A six-time Grammy nominee Chief Xian is a celebrated performer and composer known for his energetic performances and on-stage charisma. Here he premieres new music as well as a brand new instrument – Chief Adjuah's Bow – that he's been working on.
Xian was recently crowned Chieftain of the Xodokan Nation of the maroon tribes of New Orleans and is the nephew of saxophonist Big Chief Donald Harrison Jr. Later in the programme he sits down with Jumoké to discuss the traditions and philosophies behind his music and the new directions he's exploring.
We also hear from Brooklyn-based vibraphonist Joel Ross. A protege of Stefon Harris, he gained attention playing alongside luminaries such as Makaya McCraven and Marquis Hill. Now he is part of the jazz vibraphone legacy of Blue Note Records, having released three albums under the label. He shares some of his music that has influenced him including an exploratory version of the jazz standard ‘On Green Dolphin Street’ by Miles Davis, live in Chicago.

SAT 18:30 Opera on 3 (b01nznsb)
Vaughan Williams's The Pilgrim's Progress
Presented by Andrew McGregor in conversation with Oliver Soden.
John Bunyan's allegory The Pilgrim's Progress was first read to Vaughan Williams when he was a child in the 1870s, and the gripping story and vivid imagery stayed with him throughout the rest of his life culminating in his opera which he finished in 1951, seventy years later.
Vaughan Williams's own religious views were complex - as the son of an Anglican vicar and a relative of Charles Darwin they probably couldn't be anything else. When he was an undergraduate he professed to being an atheist but always maintained a spiritual side even if he wasn't a practising Christian. He wrote a Mass and took on the job of editing the English Hymnal and included his own hymn tune 'York' in the opening bars of the Pilgrim's Progress. Vaughan Williams wrote his own libretto and in his hands Bunyan's tale becomes universal - Christian becomes Pilgrim and all references to Christ are missing from what the composer said was a 'morality' rather than an opera, in doing so Bunyan's Christian story becomes something much more universal.
Bunyan's tale is a dream of a quest with Bunyan himself as the dreamer and the pilgrim his alter ego who overcomes trials and tribulations on the real and symbolic journey from his home in the 'City of Destruction' to the 'Celestial City'. Along the way he receives guidance from the Evangelist, meets objections from his four neighbours Obstinate, Pliable, Mistrust and Timorous, is given succour at the House Beautiful before fighting and defeating the fiend Apollyon. He is imprisoned after false evidence is presented against him when he refuses to be seduced by the flesh and material delights of Vanity Fair. Escaping he continues on his way, Mr and Mrs By-Ends refuse to join him as they will only continue when the path is easy, Pilgrim pushes on aided by 'The Shepherds of the Delectable Mountains' who point him straight at the gates of the Celestial City where Christian finds eternal salvation.
Yoshi Oida's acclaimed production for English National Opera was set in Bunyan's prison - with baritone Roland Wood playing the roles of both Pilgrim and John Bunyan and Bunyan's fellow prisoners taking on all the other parts from the serene spiritual guides of the House Beautiful through to the gaudy pleasure seekers of Vanity Fair.

Bryn Harrison is a well-established British composer, but this is his first string quartet (composed last year), and a major statement, lasting a full hour.
A first string quartet is a landmark moment for any composer, but this one is particularly significant. The ensemble of four stringed instruments is ideally suited to the disorienting labyrinthine structures, intricate repetitions, and extended durations that have characterised much of Harrison's recent work. Kate Molleson will talk to the composer before introducing the quartet.

Sarah Walker chooses three hours of attractive and uplifting music to complement your morning.
Today, Sarah explores a colourful and heroic prelude and fugue by William Walton, a deeply atmospheric orchestral piece by Paul Dukas, and a touch of Americana written in homage to Walt Whitman.
She also shares pieces by Marquez and Shostakovich, which might get you tapping your feet. And Bacchus, the god of wine, appears in two very different musical guises.
Plus, Sarah plays a track from the very first CD she ever bought…

SUN 12:00 Private Passions (m001cygq)
Arifa Akbar
Arifa Akbar tells Michael Berkeley about her nocturnal life as a theatre critic and her desire to tell the story of her sister's death from tuberculosis.
Arifa Akbar almost never has a quiet night in; as chief theatre critic of the Guardian she is out reviewing a production almost every evening. She also sits on the boards of the Orwell Foundation and of English PEN, and judges prizes including the UK Theatre Awards and the Women’s Prize for Fiction.
In conversation with Michael Berkeley, she discusses the book she wrote about the death of her older sister, Fauzia, from tuberculosis, in which she explores Fauzia’s troubled life and why the medical profession failed to diagnose her illness until it was too late.
Arifa chooses music from Bollywood films which remind her of her childhood, which was split between a prosperous and lively extended family in Lahore and poverty and social isolation in London. And she reveals how, after the death of her sister, she began to explore the tubercular heroines of nineteenth-century opera. Initially repelled by the glamorization of these women dying awful deaths, she has now come to love the music of Verdi and Puccini.

Molière
David Furlong and Tim McMullan read extracts from Molière's great plays and a life of the French playwright, who was born on 15 January 1622, written by the Russian author Bulgakov. Today's programme is divided into some of the key themes explored in plays such as Don Juan, Tartuffe and the Misanthrope: Hypocrisy, Theatre, Marriage and the relationships between Men & Women, Religion, Medics, Death; with readings from other authors on these topics including Swift and Nancy Mitford set alongside music by Couperin, Milhaud, Lully and Serge Gainsbourg. The French language is often referred to as the "language of Molière" and some of today's readings are in French; others come from translations by Ranjit Bolt, Liz Lochead, Martin Crimp, John Wood and David Coward. Birmingham Rep Theatre is currently staging a production of Moliere's Tartuffe.
Producer: Georgia Mann Smith
You can find a Free Thinking discussion about the writing of Moliere available on the Free Thinking programme website and on BBC Sounds.

Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On
When the Sixth Symphony by Vaughan Williams was premiered in 1948 at the Royal Albert Hall, it had an immediate impact upon those who heard it. The audience were visibly shocked, and for some they couldn’t even applaud, so stunned by what they’d heard and experienced. Here was a composer now in his seventies, presenting them with something quite different. A symphony that was violent, aggressive, and little like anything that had preceded it. Yet, within two years the symphony clocked up at least one hundred performances. The public took this symphony, and its composer, deeper to their hearts.
So what was the Sixth Symphony by Vaughan Williams about? Many who heard it in the late 1940s, firmly believed it had arisen from the composer's experiences during World War Two, and some called it his War Symphony. Vaughan Williams himself didn’t like this title, and during one interview when he was asked what the symphony was about, referenced Prospero’s “Such stuff as dreams are made on” from The Tempest by Shakespeare. Vaughan Williams was being vague about any meaning behind his symphony, and yet when you look at the period in which is was composed, from the latter part of the Second World War onwards, and at the experiences for the composer himself during this period, the symphony begins to make sense.
Simon Heffer believes that the Sixth Symphony is the composer’s greatest symphonic work. To lift the veil on this masterpiece, he invites the conductor Martyn Brabbins into studio to discuss the symphony, delving into its possible meanings and undercurrents movement by movement. Also joining Heffer is Stephen Connock, vice chairman of the Vaughan Williams Society, and Kathy Atherton, historian and chairman of the Dorking Museum and Heritage Centre. Through conversations with Connock and Atherton, Heffer explores a little-researched area of the composer's life: his involvement helping refugees. Vaughan Williams was involved in supporting refugees before World War Two began, and was highly active, too, on the Dorking and District Refugee Committee. Here was a man who was hearing about the atrocities taking place in Europe, long before they became more widely known.
There were other events which took place during the period in which the composer was beginning to map out his sixth symphony. His wife Adeline was increasingly ill, while at the same time he began a relationship with Ursula Wood, who would in due course become his second wife. There were all the bombings near to his home in Dorking and also the death of a girl he considered his daughter, in an air-raid on London. The death of the bandleader Ken 'Snakehips' Johnson by a bomb hitting the Cafe de Paris, it is believed, also had an impact upon Vaughan Williams and his decision to include a saxophone in this symphony. Professor Catherine Tackley joins Heffer to talk more about Johnson, whilst Sir Erich Reich tells his unique story about being personally rescued by Vaughan Williams, as a boy refugee arriving in London from Vienna.
People who heard the Sixth Symphony in the late 1940s immediately felt a connection with it. Having gone through the war years themselves, they recognised the feelings, emotions and events they too had experienced in this work. They took it to their hearts, and, in Simon Heffer’s opinion, out of this period of personal and musical crisis Vaughan Williams created an unmistakable masterpiece of the 20th century.

SUN 23:00 The American Clarinet (m001cyh7)
Mid-Century Modern
Berginald Rash charts the fortunes of the American clarinet as it crossed both borders and genres in the mid-20th century. More people than ever - including thousands of children - were picking up this adaptable instrument, making it second only to the guitar in its popularity. We've seen how the dawning jazz-scene was an early adopter; now it was ubiquitous and indispensable across the musical spectrum, including wind band music and Latin jazz. Berginald picks his favourite performances from the evolving lineage of the American school of clarinet playing, including cuts by "King of Swing" Benny Goodman and 1960s avant-gardist Eric Dolphy, and classical composers from Bartok to Bernstein. And we end with an otherworldly Jon Manasse performing the iconic Clarinet Concerto by great American composer Aaron Copland.

Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
1840-41 - Creative Tensions
Donald Macleod asks how Robert and Clara Schumann reconciled their domestic creative tension.
The 1840s was the decade when Robert and Clara Schumann’s married life began, and was the decade in which he established himself as a significant composer.
Schumann’s marriage to Clara gave him the stability he needed, and brought out the best in him as a composer. But the major question was whether the creative tension between the couple could ever be reconciled. Clara's greater fame, her desire to practice at home, and to go away and perform concerts was firmly set against Robert's desire for her to be a wife and home-maker, to leave her public behind.
Today, Donald Macleod looks at how the Schumanns strove to reconcile these seemingly opposing outlooks.

Ólafur Arnalds
Tune into nature feat. Jon Hopkins
Join Icelandic composer and pianist Ólafur Arnalds for another hour-long musical journey to the very heart of calmness.
In this episode, Ólafur takes inspiration from the calming sounds of the natural world, pulling out pieces featuring birdsong, as well as compositions that aim to help flowers grow. He shares music from the likes of Einojuhani Rautavaara, Peter Broderick and Grouper, and shares his own reflections on nature’s calming influence and how birdsong is the original earworm.
Every episode of Ultimate Calm features a special guest who will transport listeners to the place they feel most calm - their own personal safe haven. For this nature-inspired episode, the English producer and composer Jon Hopkins takes us to his own safe haven, a particular memory he has of emerging from caves in the Amazonian rainforest.

A Birdsong Garden
The Great Chorus
What is it about the silence of a global crisis that makes us finally take note of the beauty of birdsong readily available upon our doorsteps?
On this episode of The Essay, it’s springtime in the Vale of Whittingham and we’re up early to admire the awakening of nature as the sun rises. But which birds will be present for this year’s dawn chorus - will there be redstarts, blackcaps and garden warblers?
The lockdown through the spring of 2020 gave much space for reflection about life; and for wildlife sound recordist Geoff Sample an opportunity to review the five-year period spent in the remote and quiet Northumbrian home he sought out, to record and study the birdsong of a typical rural garden.
This five-part series, ‘A Birdsong Garden’ is a mix of memoir, natural history, folklore, birdsong and spacious soundscapes. Geoff takes us through the four seasons of the year, considering how living close to and listening intently to nature can enrich our lives.

Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
1841-42 - Peer Approval
Donald Macleod looks at Schumann’s need for the respect of his peers, and the need for a notoriously shy man to do some networking.
The 1840s was the decade when Robert and Clara Schumann’s married life began, and was the decade in which he established himself as a significant composer.
Artistic respect from his peers was important to Robert. He was embedded into the music scene of Leipzig thanks to his editorship of a music journal, but he didn’t feel he had the recognition as a composer that his music warranted. In this episode, Donald Macleod discovers whether this notoriously shy man could change that decisively with a series of major orchestral works, and some networking?

Donald Macleod asks how Schumann could find a way back to a healthy, happy, creative life again after a complete breakdown
The 1840s was the decade when Robert and Clara Schumann’s married life began, and was the decade in which he established himself as a significant composer.
Donald Macleod looks at Robert’s life as he worked towards his biggest creation so far, Paradise and the Peri. Just as he realised this new project, his depression returned with a vengeance, developing into a complete breakdown. How could he possibly find a way back to a healthy, happy, creative life again?

Perspectives on Vaughan Williams (2/4)
In the second of four concerts live from the Oxford Lieder Festival, distinguished alumni of the BBC's New Generation Artists scheme perform songs by Vaughan Williams alongside those of his contemporaries, friends and students.
The centrepiece of any celebration of the songs of Vaughan Williams has to be his Songs of Travel. These settings of Robert Louis Stevenson have been immensely popular ever since they were first heard in 1904. Acclaimed British bass baritone Ashley Riches also includes ‘The Sky Above the Roof’, a setting of Paul Verlaine, and songs by Ravel that call to mind Vaughan Williams’ studies in France and the importance of French music to his development as a composer.

Cesar Franck was the first organist titulaire of the great neo-gothic basilica, and he was followed by a steady succession of names such as Durufle, Langlais, Alain and Bonnal, all of whom worked there in some capacity, making St. Clothilde one of the powerhouses of Parisian music making.

A Birdsong Garden
Autumn Passage
From the young chiffchaff taking its first words, to the cacophony of pheasants and mallards over the river, in autumn Geoff and his family begin to appreciate the annual visitors on their doorstep as the swallows come...and go once again.
The lockdown through the spring of 2020 gave much space for reflection about life; and for wildlife sound recordist Geoff Sample an opportunity to review the five-year period spent in the remote and quiet Northumbrian home he sought out, to record and study the birdsong of a typical rural garden.
This five-part series, ‘A Birdsong Garden’ is a mix of memoir, natural history, folklore, birdsong and spacious soundscapes. Geoff takes us through the four seasons of the year, considering how living close to and listening intently to nature can enrich our lives.

Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
1845-47 - Fix Yourself through Counterpoint
Donald Macleod looks at how, when his mental health was fragile, Schumann took solace in working on his musical technique.
The 1840s was the decade when Robert and Clara Schumann’s married life began, and was the decade in which he established himself as a significant composer.
Today, Donald Macleod explores how Schumann used music and music practise to restore his fragile mental health. This was a period of major personal highs and lows for him and his family. Could he reach beyond his years of doubt and insecurity and become the indisputably great composer that history would remember?

Innocence and experience
Live from the Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham
Presented by Tom McKinney
We join the BBC Philharmonic live in Nottingham for a programme that explores the sorrow and uncertainty of two of England's best loved composers between the First and Second World Wars. Walton was living with confusion and bitterness at the end of a close relationship as he started work on his First Symphony, but had found new love as he embarked on the last movement; the bitterness and anger of the first three movements is as heart-on-sleeve as the breathless wild energy of the fourth. The loss felt in Elgar's Cello Concerto makes the personal public and also reflects his sense of a changing world at the end of the First World War. Rising star Zlatomir Fung joins the orchestra as soloist in this performance. Unruly magic opens the programme; Goethe's poem inspiring Dukas's graphic portrayal of The Sorcerer's Apprentice getting into ever deeper water with plenty of ambition but too little knowledge.

1849-50 - Draft Dodging
Donald Macleod looks at how Schumann coped with revolution in Dresden, and the strength he took from forming his own choir.
The 1840s was the decade when Robert and Clara Schumann’s married life began, and was the decade in which he established himself as a significant composer.
Today, Donald Macleod looks at a period of civil unrest on the streets of Dresden. Revolutionaries were rounding up able-bodied men to bolster their forces. Richard Wagner was already manning the barricades. Would Schumann be forced to serve too? We look at how Schumann coped with this upheaval. And we see the strength he took from forming his own choir.

Commissioned by the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society to mark the 150th birthday of Vaughan Williams, Portraits of a Mind is a companion piece scored for the same forces – tenor, string quartet and piano – as On Wenlock Edge.
Fiona Talkington presents from the Holywell Music Room.

BBC Singers: The love between us
The BBC Singers and Chief Conductor Sofi Jeannin present a programme celebrating the rich heritage of Indian classical music with Soumik Datta, alongside the work of Bach.
Written for the same western orchestration as Bach’s triumphant Magnificat with sitar and tabla, Reena Esmail’s This Love Between Us is a piece about unity. Its seven movements juxtapose the words of seven major religious traditions of India, and specifically how each of these traditions approaches the topic of unity and kindness.
The texts come either straight from canonical religious writings or from poets who write through the lens of their religion. At the heart of the programme is the world premiere of Soumik Datta’s BBC Commission, weaving Indian classical music, Bengali folk, Tagore and Partition songs with his own compositions about migration and identity.
Live from Milton Court. Presented by Ian Skelly.

A Birdsong Garden
The Spring Revival
From gas guns to peewits to witnessing the intimate song of the blackbird like never before… In this final part of the series, we come full circle back to springtime to hear the neighbouring dunnocks and frogs, pondering what is the role of the garden - its purpose - in all of our lives in the present day?
The lockdown through the spring of 2020 gave much space for reflection about life; and for wildlife sound recordist Geoff Sample an opportunity to review the five-year period spent in the remote and quiet Northumbrian home he sought out, to record and study the birdsong of a typical rural garden.
This five-part series, ‘A Birdsong Garden’ is a mix of memoir, natural history, folklore, birdsong and spacious soundscapes. Geoff takes us through the four seasons of the year, considering how living close to and listening intently to nature can enrich our lives.
Presenter and Producer: Geoff Sample
Executive Producer: Clare Freeman
Commissioned for Culture in Quarantine, funded and supported by The Space Arts, BBC Arts and Arts Council England.

Music for theatre and micro-naps
Verity Sharp sets the stage for a two-hour exploration of the adventurous and experimental. We’ll hear music from the debut album Cyclorama by Chicago-based DJ and producer Ariel Zetina, inspired by her background as a theatre writer and producer. Cyclorama is a theatrical device where a large curtain is placed in an arc around the back wall of a stage to give the illusion of depth and space. Elsewhere in the show, an expressive study of solo drumkit from percussionist Chloe Kim, showcasing what she describes as her “favourite sides” of her drumming as opposed to her “best”. Plus, composer and bassist SeaJun Kwon examines the liminal spaces between waking and sleeping alongside his ironically titled Walking Cliché Sextet on their new album Micro-Nap, a collection of non-linear and broken moments.
