Opera in a prologue, two acts and an epilogue
Libretto by FEDORA BARTOSOVA
English version by JEAN EISLER Music by Janacek
(first broadcast performance in this country)
Apart from two early and unconvincing experiments, Osud is the only opera of Janacek's that remains unknown to the musical world at large Written in 1904-1906, soon after Jenufa, it was never performed in the composers lifetime. The story bears the imprint of a personal experience. It concerns Zhivny, a struggling composer, and his love affair with the society beautv Mila, which has been thwarted by an ambitious mother Many years later at a spa the lovers decide to elope; but their triumph turns the mother insane so that she causes her own and her daughters death. All this Zhivny recounts to students who are rehearsing his opera. reliving the experience through music of great vividness and intensity.

Music can often make us laugh in the same way that jokes can. The range of ' musical jokes' is very wide - from the imitation of birds and animals or the setting of funny words, to the subtle and more inherently musical wit that characterises so much of Haydn's work.
RICHARD RASTALL , Lecturer in Music at the University of Leeds, has chosen his examples from all periods of the past 500 years of Western music.
