Under this motto, Lou Harrison , 80 this year, has written music in a bewildering variety of styles. Michael Oliver says, "In fact, Lou was writing world music before the phrase had been invented." He talks to Harrison and to friends, critics and performers about a composer whose music
"thinks, with love, around the circle of the Pacific". The music incorporates influences from Bali, China, Japan, Korea and Java and joins up with western music from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The first UK performance of Harrison's
New First Suite for Strings is given in Tuesday's late-night Prom at 10pm. Producer Ray Abbott
