The Powder Treason
Beginning a series of programmes dedicated to the music of Britain.
The Powder Treason
The Early Music Show is dedicating its eight programmes over the month of November to the music of Britain. From Edinburgh to Wales, from Lindisfarne to Canterbury, we'll be celebrating both well-known and more obscure gems from the depths of our nation's history.
There'll be music from Charles Avison's early 18th Century Newcastle; music from Westminster Abbey marking the 1000th anniversary of England's only Royal Saint, Edward the Confessor; and music from composers who were working during the Civil War.
Plus, music of Exeter Cathedral, the Scottish early music ensemble Concerto Caledonia; music from Canterbury; and a history of Early Music in Wales, from the harp to the little known Crwth! Each of the following seven programmes also include a feature about a related place in Britain.
On the anniversary of the Gunpowder plot, the programme explores the music which surrounded the plot and it's aftermath, while hearing the story of the Catholic treason from the viewpoint of William Byrd. Byrd understood the frustrations of the Catholics in England, and he was a composer who, though tolerated by the King for his musical talents, found that a man had been arrested for simply owning one of his own compositions.
14:00
A Soldier's Tale
Samuel West and the ensemble Excellent Device join Charles Hazlewood to explore aspects of Stravinsky's dramatic masterpiece, ahead of a complete performance in the Sunday Gala.
Composed in the years after the First World War, the Soldier's Tale is a masterpiece of brevity and economy, telling the Faustian story of the soldier returning from war to sell his violin - his soul - to the devil. In this workshop, Charles and his small company perform extracts from the complete work.

Don Cherry - Old and New Dreams
5 November 2005
Marking ten years since his death, Jez Nelson revisits the work of avant-garde leader, mullti-instrumentalist and trumpeter Don Cherry. Renowned as the first great free jazz trumpeter, Cherry's lineage stretches from Louis Armstrong and Chet Baker right up through Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan and the moderns like Dave Douglas and Wynton Marsalis.
2/2. In the mid-60s at the height of the free jazz revolution, Don Cherry opted to go on the road in a VW camper van, travelling through Europe exploring the different folk music traditions and learning the instruments he came across along the way. In the decades which followed, he fused the improvising spirit of jazz with the indigenous music of Brazil, Turkey, India, Morocco, China and Indonesia.
