Vaughan Williams On Wenlock Edge (R)
Gerard Me Burney presents a new series - that investigates the sound-world of the orchestra. Moments of orchestral brilliance from Haydn to Stravinsky- in specially recorded examples from the BBC Philharmonic - are analysed to find out how the orchestral sound is put together. Today's programme uncovers how composers use the orchestra to create a chord, and how chords can become a dramatic tool in the opera house and the concert hall.

SOUNDING THE CENTURY
Samuel West narrates a nother in the series of documentaries on 20th-century music. The Rite of Spring has become a totem of our troubled times, but it began as a calculated bid forthe hearts and wallets of bourgeois Paris by staging a spectacular return to Russia's roots in its prehistoric pagan religion. For most of this century The Rite's profoundly traditional parentage was carefully hidden by its composer. The surprising life story of Stravinsky's score is told by scholars Richard Taruskin and Stephen Walsh , dance historian Millicent Hodson , the conductor Diego Masson , the composer George Benjamin and others. Producer Nick Morgan
