My Dear Palestrina by BERNARD MACLAVERTY
' In our darkness, Danny, there is love, there is caring, there is art. One of your Popes had a great thing to say once. He had been listening to some music by Patestrina with the composer himself. He said to him: "The law, my dear Palestrina, ought to employ your music to lead hardened criminals to repentance." Do you think this town would do this to me if they had truly heard one bar of Palestrina? Listen.'
Directed by MARILYN IRE Land. BBC Scotland
(Repeated: Sun 2.30 pm) (Ian Henderson is a member of the Scottish Youth Theatre)
