Composer of the Week

Louis Spohr (1784-1859)

Part Five

If history has not been as generous to Louis Spohr as perhaps it might, one reason could be the high wall of Romanticism that seems to stand between us and the composer. The gracious elegance of Spohr's classicism seems altogether less grand than the gestures that were to follow from the pens of Berlioz, Bruckner, Mahler, Strauss and the rest.

Yet Spohr was a figure whose music laid many of the foundations that these composers would build on, and Donald Macleod considers this aspect of the composer's music.

Performance on 3

Francis Grier's The Passion of Jesus of Nazareth

UK premiere

Composer Francis Grier joins forces with poet Elizabeth Cook for a piece in which both words and music have been newly created. Cook's libretto is based on the Gospel accounts of the Passion, but also includes some incidents and individuals that don't appear in the Bible, and Grier's virtuoso score draws on the conventions of the traditional Passion-settings, but uses the musical language of today (a Radio 3 commission).

Presented by Louise Fryer live from King's College Chapel, Cambridge.
