Fourteen illustrated talks by ROGER FISKE
11: The Bigger the Better
It was the Parisian fondness for the stupendous in opera which began the cult of the colossal, both as regards length and loudness; a fondness satisfied first by Rameau in the 1740s, and then by Spontini and Meyerbeer in the early nineteenth century. And it was a Frenchman. Berlioz, who began the same trend in music for the concert hall, and the use of orchestral devices whose effect was predominantly dramatic, not musical.
Produced by Peter Dodd

Six talks by DR. GLYN DANIEL
4: China and the Indus Valley
Dr. Daniel now turns to an examination of the most ancient civilisations of the Far East in his search for clues to how man first became civilised. Did these ancient peoples learn the arts of civilisation from western invaders. traders, or skilled workers who brought news of developments in Mesopotamia? Or did their civilisations arise independently through their own discoveries and their own efforts?
Pre-Columbian America: Dec. 21
These talks are being printed in ' The Listener '

An illustrated talk by Michael Howard
Devised by MICHAEL HOWARD and CHARLOTTE MORE
In his great triptych The Millennium Hieronymus Bosch places the polyphonic musicians of his day-the school of men like Josquin and Ockeghem-firmly in hell, under a huge and sadistically mutilated ear. How could he use his own art to desecrate another so savagely?
