BBC Proms 2004

Prom 69 part 1

Tonight's UK premiere by Finnish 'spectralist' composer Kaija Saariaho is typical of her large-scale soundscapes - Orion is depicted as constellation, mythical hunter and demigod with eerie, icy effects painted against a serene glacial backdrop. It's paired with Bartok's disturbing opera in which the murky secrets of the Duke's past are exposed when his wife Judith asks to see inside his seven-roomed castle.

Presented by Penny Gore.

Programme notes, composer and artist profiles and "now playing" information for each main evening Prom are available on LiveText via Dab radio and Freeview.

Weekday Feature

Tropicalia

The story of Brazil's popular music revolution of the 1960s, which was played out on television talent shows against the backdrop of an oppressive military dictatorship.

Tropicalia was the name taken by a small group of poets, singers and composers whose radical performances led to the
arrest and exile of their leaders Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. Will Hodgkinson tracks down the various members of this cult collective, visiting the cities of S?o Paolo and the northern state of Bahia, birthplace of Veloso and Gil as well as other
important Tropicalia artists such as Tom Ze and Gal Costa.

22:20

Late Junction

7 September 2004

Tonight's programme includes traditional vocal music from Madagascar and Central Africa, chamber works by Giacinto Scelsi, and Brazilian psychedelia from Os Mutantes.

Composer of the Week

Erich Korngold (1897 - 1957)

3. The War Years

Outwardly the first World War had relatively little impact on Erich Korngold. Although he was called up he escaped active duty by being made musical director of his regiment. Confined to Vienna he conducted the regimental band which raised money for children who'd been orphaned as a result of the war. Throughout the majority of the conflict he was working on his third opera, Die Tote Stade. Its subject matter, which was based on a symbolist novel, revolves around constant reminders of death and the transience of life, so it seems likely that the dark years of the war had had at least a subliminal effect on the young composer.

With Donald Macleod.
