Discovering Music

And All That Jazz - Part Three

Charles Hazlewood concludes his exploration of the impact made by jazz and dance music in European music of the 1920s and 30s, with a profile of the English composer Constant Lambert, born in 1905.

In the audience workshop, Charles is joined by pianist David Owen Norris and the BBC Concert Orchestra, for an exploration of two of Lambert's youthful piano works, the Elegiac Blues and the extraordinarily precocious Piano Concerto No 1, which he composed as an 18-year-old student. The programme also includes Lambert's arrangement of his friend William Walton's overture, Portsmouth Point.

Rhythm 'n' Jews

Part 4 - Jews and the Abstract Truth

Charting the reinvention of Klezmer, one of the world's most lively and evocative folk forms, through its contemporary fusion with soul, punk, rock and jazz. In the US for example, one of the best-selling Klezmer musicians is the African-American jazz clarinetist Don Byron, and this programme examines how such radical fusions reflect and inform global changes in Jewish identity.

Presented by Linton Chiswick.

Between The Ears

The Abandoned Road

Near the French home of the writer Adam Thorpe lies a three-kilometre vestige of the former main road to the nearest village. Abandoned 100 years ago, this old Languedoc road is now the haunt only of badgers, a shepherdess and her brother - and the memories of former times.

Adam's walk along the abandoned road is the starting point for a meditation in words and sound on the significance of roads and what it means when they fall into disuse.

22:10

The Wire

Plague

By Lucy Gannon, set in Derbyshire during the Plague.

With the arrival of a recently orphaned boy in need of shelter, Samuel's unthinking existence ignites to become a joyful, brief, but glorious flame. His sexual awakening unleashes a feeling he has never experienced before - a feeling that is unforgivable, and previously unimaginable.

Samuel ...... Pete Meakin
Sarah ...... Esther Coles
Peter ...... Marc Jordan
Narrator ...... Ellie Haddington

Directed by Lucy Hannah.
