Sunday Play: An Insular Motet

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

By David Pownall. Another chance to hear this play set in 1213. An interdict from Pope Innocent proscribing any form of music in the churches of England makes a beleaguered and isolated KingJohn real ise that he has to find some ki nd of a sound to feed the soul of his people. What he commissions is a sound so strange that it is heard as music without music.
