The BBC Singers under David Hill in music by Dupre, Poulenc and Judith Bingham.

From St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, London, the BBC Singers perform Dupre's Laudate Dominum, Poulenc's Litanies a la vierge noire and Bingham's Irish Tenebrae.

From St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge, London, Petroc Trelawny presents the BBC Singers under David Hill performing music drawn from the penitential rites of the Catholic church.

The concert opens with Marcel Dupre's Laudate Dominum, this key 20th-century French organ composer's setting of words from the psalms. It is followed by Poulenc's Litanies, which were inspired by the Black Virgin of Rocamadour, a miracle-working image frequently worshipped and venerated by kings, cardinals, knights and millions of pilgrims on its hilltop site.

Judith Bingham's Irish Tenebrae, dating from 1990, takes words from the liturgy for Maundy Thursday and juxtaposes them with Irish folksong and poetry to create an emotional piece exploring some of the complicated themes of 20th-century Irish history.

Philip Dodd talks to novelist Howard Jacobson about his new book The Act of Love.

Philip Dodd talks to novelist Howard Jacobson about his latest book The Act of Love, a wry and shocking meditation on love, jealousy and betrayal.

NIGHT WAVES – Thursday 18th Sept 2008 

Do all husbands secretly want their wives to be unfaithful to them? Award winning writer Howard Jacobson joins Philip Dodd to discuss his new novel, The Act of Love, which explores the boundaries of betrayal and desire. 

Sarah Compton reviews In-i, the new dance collaboration between leading British dancer and choreographer Akram Khan, actress Juliette Binoche and Tuner prize winning sculptor Anish Kapoor.

From The Biblical Leviathan to Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, a new book and Arena documentary explore the mythical status of The Whale, hunted, persecuted, fictionalised, and imagined. Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan, joins Philip Dodd to explain why the whale is among the most basic of our myths, and argues that it is even tied to the foundations of the American dream. 

And a chance to hear a Free Thought from the chair of the Welsh Arts Council, Dai Smith, in the run-up to Radio 3’s Free Thinking Festival next month.
