by DR NORMAN HAMMOND , Department of Archaeology, University of Bradford
Music is one of the least known arts of prehistoric civilisations but instruments, or depictions of them, do survive. DR HAMMOND describes the main groups of instruments used by the ancient Maya, and includes illustrations with instruments from archaelogical sites, those constructed from drawings and paintings, and other designs that have been handed down by past generations to the modern Mayan Indians of Central America.

Dance the Putrefact by PETER REDGROVE
A masque for solo voice and musicians
Voice Colin Blakely
A compelling work which combines dreamlike and physical images to describe a man's inner life as a dance. ' His dance is all a person has.' The dance has a primordial quality as the man joyously and painfully celebrates both his individuality and his oneness with the female figure he dances out of the mud, but the dance is not merely orgiastic, it is sacred.
Music specially composed and conducted by ANTHONY SMITH-MASTERS Producer DAVID SPENSER
(Colin Blakely is a National Theatre Player)
