The focus is on 17th Century vocal and instrumental music from the Jesuit missions in central Bolivia, including works by the Italian missionary Domenico Zipoli, and by the indigenous Bolivian people themselves. Accomplished, lively and flamboyant music, some of which is written in the local Chiquito language.

In search of music performed for Krishna, Lucy Duran and the musician Viram Jasani find themselves in a brothel in Kolkata, India. Squeezed into a small bed-sit, two courtesan sisters perform songs for the Hindu Deity, rarely recorded and normally reserved for their paying clients.

Arrangers Anonymous

Part Two

For decades now, arrangers in music have traditionally been undervalued, in many cases underpaid or not even identified, and certainly under-appreciated in terms of an understanding of the complexity of what they do. They are the unsung heroes of the music world, all members of Arrangers Anonymous.

Russell Davies is joined by arranger/composer/conductors Barry Forgie and Steve Gray to analyse a collection of jazz scores, discovering how each arrangement actually works and what was in the mind of the arranger when the piece was conceived.

This programme features Bill Potts' 1959 score of I Got Plenty O' Nuttin from his best known work, The Jazz Soul of Porgy and Bess, an album recorded in 1959.
