Towards the Millennium: the Sixties
In the last programme in the series about books and authors in the sixties, Andy Martin sets out to discover the legacy of the decade. Did it collapse into the dystopian spectacles of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Crash? Or have the unitive visions of Aldous Huxley and Arthur C Clarke proved unexpectedly prescient and enduring?

Towards the Millennium: the Sixties
The third of four programmes in which composers look back at that swinging decade and present a selection of music. Tonight Anthony Payne recalls the period when he found his own voice, partly as a reaction against so much of what was going on at the trendier end of the avant-garde. But the solidly exciting European modernism of Ligeti and Lutoslawski, and the home-grown Lutyens and Maxwell Davies , all made a big impact on him.

With Graham Sadler.
5: Requiem Aeternam
In 18th-century France, memorial services were often celebrated with a macabre, theatrical pomp that now seems astonishing. Yet there is nothing ghoulish about Campra's
Messe de Requiem, a work of dignified restraint and tender lyricism whose consolatory tone anticipates that of later French settings. The requiem is performed by Le Concert Spirituel, directed by Herve Niquet. Today's programme also includes movements from Cierambault's Suite du Deuxieme
Ton played by Marie-Claire Alain (organ). Repeated from last Friday
