Broadcasts
Broadcast on BBC FOUR Sam Hayden's new work, the first of ten BBC commissions this season, raises the curtain on a transatlantic programme conducted by the BBC SO’s dynamic Californian-born Principal Guest Conductor. Bernstein's The Age of Anxiety, inspired by Auden, launches our centenary celebration of this UK-born but US-drawn poet, and is based on the poem Bernstein saw as 'a record of our difficult search for faith'.The first of two Ives symphonies this year (see also Prom 64) is the innovative Fourth, whose practical and musical demands are so great that it only received its first complete UK performance at the Proms in 1966.

Broadcasts
The first Late Night Prom of the season
features a major rediscovery by
harpsichordist and musicologist Davitt
Moroney of the lavish multi-part Mass
by Alessandro Striggio. The concert begins
with The Tallis Scholars and the BBC
Singers conducted by Peter Phillips in
Striggio's celebrated 40-part motet Ecce
beatam lucem, alongside Tallis's immortal
Spem in alium,
reputedly the result
of a challenge by
the fourth Duke
of Norfolk, for Tallis
to equal Striggio's
40-part triumph.
Gary Cooper Organ (continuo) Detailed notes about the music will be available one hour before the concert. Like this Prom? try these:
