A complete performance of Cornelius Cardew 's The
Great Learning for a large number of trained and untrained musicians. In seven Paragraphs, based on a text by Confucius, this performance was given last summer in Sheffield by participants on the Contemporary Music Making for Amateurs summer course. Sarah Walker talks to those involved, including colleagues of Cardew from the late sixties - Michael
Parsons and John Tilbury - and introduces extended sections of Paragraphs 2, 3 and 7. 11.30 Robert Ziegler presents a work by one of the "highly-trained elite" whose "monolopy of the avant-garde" Cardew was working to break - Karlheinz Stockhausen 's Mixtur. The
BBC Symphony Orchestra are conducted by Peter Eotvos with the composer as sound projectionist. Producer Alan Hall
