Performance on 3
Live at Seven
Part One
Direct from St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, London, Petroc Trelawny presents the BBC Singers under David Hill performing music drawn from the penitential rites of the Catholic church.
The concert opens with Marcel Dupre's Laudate Dominum, this key 20th-century French organ composer's setting of words from the psalms. It is followed by Poulenc's Litanies, which were inspired by the Black Virgin of Rocamadour, a miracle-working image frequently worshipped and venerated by kings, cardinals, knights and millions of pilgrims on its hilltop site.
Judith Bingham's Irish Tenebrae, dating from 1990, takes words from the liturgy for Maundy Thursday and juxtaposes them with Irish folksong and poetry to create an emotional piece exploring some of the complicated themes of 20th-century Irish history.

Night Waves
18 September 2008
Philip Dodd talks to author Howard Jacobson about his new novel The Act of Love, charting the tumultuous course of Felix and Marisa Quinn's marriage, which descends into adultery and jealousy - but with a difference. Felix wants his wife to cheat on him and, when she finally does, he wonders if he is at last a happy man. Howard discusses the perverse logic at the heart of his novel and explains why he felt it important to tackle what he sees as one of the last erotic taboos.
