Discovering Music: Warlock

Warlock

BBC Radio 3 - Discovering Music, Warlock

Stephen Johnson takes an in-depth look at the music of Peter Warlock.

Stephen Johnson discovers the nuances and intricacies of the music of Peter Warlock, and presents a complete performance of his magnum opus The Curlew.

Radio 3 at the Summer Festivals

From the 2009 Mananan International Festival of Music and the Arts, in Port Erin on the Isle of Man, Stephen Johnson explores the nuances and intricacies of the music of Peter Warlock.

Warlock, who was born Philip Heseltine in 1894, was an eccentric musician, and in the 1920s edited the wonderfully combative music magazine The Sackbut. He was renowned as a hellraiser - a riotous prankster and great drinker, whose circle included fellow musicians such as Moeran, Constant Lambert and, occasionally, William Walton.

But this was just one side to the man - Heseltine could also be a man of intense melancholy, and his behaviour has been the subject of much conjecture since his death (most likely by his own hand) in 1930. Stephen asks questions about Warlock's perceived bipolarity and the duality of his personality which may have led to the diversity in his songs. 

Tenor Michael Slattery and pianist Stephen Coombs help to uncover the genius behind some of Warlock's most beautiful songs, with reference to the many intriguing and diverse influences behind Warlock's unique sound palette. Warlock's lush harmonies and skill at word painting stem from his absorption in the music of the Tudor and Restoration periods, as well as his childhood obsession with Delius, and his friendship and admiration for Bartok and Bernard van Dieren.

The programme also features a detailed look at Warlock's magnum opus The Curlew, a chamber song-cycle setting of words by WB Yeats, for tenor voice, flute, cor anglais and string quartet, performed by Michael Slattery and The Doric Quartet, with flautist Adam Walker and cor anglais player Daniel Bates.

An exploration of the music of Peter Warlock (1894-1930), eccentric musician, editor of combative music magazine TheSackbut, renowned hellraiser, talented drinker and melancholic, who very likely committed suicide. Stephen Johnson explores Warlock's perceived bipolarity and the duality of his personality, which perhaps led to the diversity in his songs.

BBC Radio 3 - Jazz Line-Up, Andy Sheppard

Julian Joseph talks to saxophonist Andy Sheppard and pays tribute to George Russell.

Julian Joseph talks to saxophonist Andy Sheppard, who profiles his recording Movements in Colour. Plus a tribute to composer, drummer and theorist George Russell.

Julian Joseph talks to saxophonist Andy Sheppard, who has released his debut recording, Movements in Colour, on European record label ECM. It sees him collaborating with the cream of musicians from the European jazz scene - tabla player/percussionist Kuljit Bhamra, bassist Alrild Andersen, and guitarists John Paricelli and Eivind Aarset. Together they create a fusion of African, Latin and Indian styles, combining electronic sounds and treatments with organic and natural elements.

Sheppard has made a significant impact on the international jazz scene over the years, playing and writing for settings from solo to big band and chamber orchestra. Since the late 1980s, he has composed over 300 works that incorporate a strong and characteristic sense of lyricism alongside a very personal use of rhythms from Asia, Africa and South America. Sheppard can also be heard on an equally eclectic range of recordings - as well as featuring on CDs with Carla Bley and George Russell. He has also played on sessions with dub poet Benjamin Zephaniah, John Martyn, Baaba Maal, Basia, Nigel Kennedy, Bristol indie band Blue Aeroplanes - and even turned up on a tribute album to punk group The New York Dolls.

Julian also pays tribute to the late American composer, drummer, theorist and conductor George Russell. Russell played drums with Benny Carter and later wrote for Dizzy Gillespie. His musical theories went on to influence the modal music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane, and he also developed the Lydian concept in 1953, credited as the first theoretical contribution from jazz.

The programme contains archive clips from an interview conducted by Julian Joseph with George Russell for Radio 3's Jazz Legends, which was originally transmitted on January 20, 2006.
