Talk by William Empson
It is often said that James Joyce 's Ulysses is not really an epic because nothing happens at the end. William Empson denies this: he claims that the implicit climax of the epic is an adulterous meeting arranged by Leopold Bloom between his wife and Stephen Dedalus. This encounter has a triumphant and life-giving influence on these three protagonists in the story.

The first of Sir Arnold Bax 's seven symphonies, which is dedicated to John Ireland, was written in 1922 and first performed that year, when it was conducted by Albert Coates. It is in three movements: Allegro moderato, Lento solenne, and Allegro maestoso. The work ends with a triumphal march based on the opening theme of the Symphony.

Production by Douglas Cleverdon
James Joyce 's devotion to music is reflected in the fact that each of the principal characters in Ulysses is a singer (either professional or amateur) or a lover of singing; with the result that song, in Ulysses, is a frequent counterpoint to meaning.
(A new production of the programme on James Joyce broadcast in 1949 in the series ' Writers and Music ')
