JAYE CONSORT OF VIOLS BBC CHORUS conductor PETER GELLBORN
The phrase ' apt for the Viols and voices.' Introduced by Weelkes in 1600, is capable of several different interpretations. In this programme voices unaccompanied sing madrigals by Bateson, who was born in about 1570; viols alone play madrigals by Weelkes and Gibbons, with Purcell's madrigal-like Third Fantasia: and Gibbons's 'What is our life?' and ' Nay, let me weep ' will be heard as consort songs with choral sections - perhaps the original style of performance.

Three talks by R. C. ZAEHNER 3: Salvation through Death
Professor Zaehner suggests that until the churches recapture the mystical element in Christianity they will have failed. This is what Zen has to offer - the death of the empirical self and the discovery of man's timeless dimension. He recognises that drugs can produce this experience, but at a terrible risk.

Its emphasis on the relationship between the poet's breath and the length of its lines, and its extreme simplicity of diction, are characteristics which have been frequently noted, imitated, and admired.
In tonight's conversation with GEORGE MACBETH Mr Creeley reads from his work of the past decade, including a number of recent unpublished poems,
