As Europe sped towards the horrors of the Second World War, Tippett sought to express the suffering of the ordinary man or woman, taking as his models the great passions of Bach but using spirituals rather than hymns.
Vaughan Williams's Fourth Symphony was written without an explicit programme, but it packs a huge punch from start to finish.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
