Tonight's programme features a session with Hayes Carll, a leading Americana artist.

Performing over 200 shows a year, he founded a singer-songwriter music festival on the Gulf Coast of Texas, secured a record deal with Lost Highway Records and has seen Little Rock become the first self-released album to reach number one on the Americana Music Chart.
His follow-up album, Trouble In Mind, has now been released in the UK, having matched its predecessor's number one spot for Americana national airplay.

Composer Of The Week –
Rautavaara
Monday 6 to Friday 10 October
12.00noon-1.00pm BBC RADIO 3 |
|
Donald Macleod continues his survey of the work of Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara with an exploration of the religious and metaphysical subjects that are a continuing source of fascination for him.
The key to his belief lies not in a specific doctrine but in the words of the German philosopher Friedrich Schleiermacher: "True religion is sense and taste for the infinite."
Another theme within Rautavaara's work stems from his belief in the existence of angels. His angel isn't golden and cherubic but a rather more menacing figure, as described by the German poet Rilke.

Blood, Sweat, Tears And Poetry

The theme of National Poetry Day is "work" and poet Patience Agbabi marks the day by exploring the relationship between poetry and the workplace.
There have been a number of innovative and successful partnerships between poets and places of work in the last 10 years. The Poetry Society ran a two-year Poetry Places scheme and London organisation Poet In The City encourages workplaces to liaise with poets.
For this year's National Poetry Day celebration, Patience talks with poets going out into workplaces. Among them is Paul Farley, this year's National Poetry Day Poet-in-Residence, apple-picking on a farm in Kent. And Cornish performance poet Sally Crabtree is stacking tins of poetry in the Co-op supermarket in Penzance. Patience asks them about their expectations and how workplaces can benefit from a poetic link.
After being selected for the Poetry Places scheme, Patience Agbabi has herself been a Poet-in-Residence in a variety of places – from The Poetry Café, to Flamin' Eight, a tattoo and piercing studio in London.

One Planet –
Animal Migration In A Climate Of Change Ep
4/4
Thursday 9 October
10.30-11.00am BBC WORLD SERVICE |

Wild geese undertake some of the most arduous journeys ever made. They winter around the estuaries and mudflats of north-west Europe before flying to remote Arctic territories to rear their young beneath the midnight sun.
Brett Westwood follows individual Greenland White-fronted Geese who have been fitted with special transmitters logging their migration from south-west Scotland to the east coast of Greenland, where they breed.
He catches up with the geese on their staging grounds in the west of Iceland, where they feed to build up fat for the long journey, which involves crossing the Greenland ice-cap.
Using state-of-the-art satellite technology, scientists from the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust can track the exact routes of individual geese and even estimate the energy they use.
For the Greenland White-fronted Geese, there's a bitter twist in the tale. They arrive in western Greenland, to find their territories being taken by Canada Geese, which are successfully colonising the country. Brett asks whether climate change is the culprit.
