(1632-87). It was Jean-Baptiste Lully 's abilities as a dancerthat brought him to the attention of Louis XIV. When the king saw Lully perform on the dance floor at court he was so impressed that he immediately commandeered Lully's services. Lullywas appointed composer of instrumental music to the king and began his dramatic rise to fame and fortune. Donald Macleod charts Lully's life story and introduces the works that made his name.

Tommy Pearson presents a week of music from the movies. In today's programme he looks at some of the great music written by three of the best British composers to work in the medium: Arthur Bliss, Malcolm Arnold and Richard Rodney Bennett. Rumon Gamba conducts the BBC Philharmonic in music by these three, including the music Bliss wrote for Alexander Korda's adaptation of HG Wells's Things to Come, Arnold's music for the 1956 film Trapeze starring Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis, and Richard Rodney Bennett 's music for the 1994 smash hit Four Weddings and a Funeral.
