One hundred great 20th-century works of art.
35: James Joyce : Ulysses. One of the greatest novels of all time, and one of the few that truly may be said to have shaped the way we have seen our century, James Joyce 's
Ulysses was published in 1922. The story of Leopold and Molly Bloom 's busy June day in Dublin has just been voted best novel of the century. But at the time of publication, Joyce was vilified for his departure from the established literary form. Producer Clare Hughes

A celebration of the life of Michael Tippett , who died earlier this year.

Natalie Wheen pays tribute, using Tippett's music, his own words and those of his friends and colleagues, including Sir Colin Davis. Sir Harrison Birtwistle , Mark-Anthony Turnage ,
Steve Martland and Meirion Bowen. Repeat See also 7.30pm

Tonight's Prom at the Royal Albert Hall honours the life and immense achievement of the late Michael Tippett with the work with which he made his name - a moving reaction to the mindless horrors of war. It is coupled with an orchestral re-creation of music by Beethoven - the composer who most inspired Tippett.
