Geoffrey Smith's Jazz
Geoffrey Smith's Jazz does exactly what it says on the tin: a weekly programme in which Geoffrey Smith shares his love of jazz, through an exploration of its great writers, singers and players, as told from his own individual perspective.

Each programme take us through his personally-selected playlist of tracks. It's loosely-themed; maybe a great artist, a jazz style or something more off-the-wall. But that serves as just the start of a fascinating journey to the heart of the music Geoffrey is so passionate about.

Sun 18 May 2014

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b043p4qx
Nearly 30 years ago Emma Bridgewater, a young English graduate, went shopping for a cup and saucer for her mother's birthday present. She couldn't find anything she liked - so she designed one herself, and enjoyed the process so much that she installed a kiln in her London flat. That small kiln has grown into a company with an annual turnover of 11 million pounds - and has revitalised the old potteries industry of Stoke-on-Trent. Her teapots and mugs covered in polka dots, hens, dogs and birds have become a staple of the middle class kitchen, symbols of cosiness and comfort.

In Private Passions, Emma Bridgewater talks to Michael Berkeley about our yearning for home - all the more intense as working lives become overwhelmingly demanding. She reveals the tragedy at the heart of her life - her mother's riding accident, which left her gravely brain-damaged but still alive, for 22 years. Under the pressure of that sorrow, Emma Bridgewater describes how work became a marvellous escape. She chooses music to remind her of her mother, and which consoled her after her mother's death last Christmas. She talks too about the adventure of setting up her business in Stoke-on-Trent, bringing derelict factories back to life - but missing her four children as she spent hour upon hour on the road.

Her music choices include Pergolesi, Purcell, Kurt Weill, Boccherini, a carol by Benjamin Britten - and the UK Theme Tune, which used to start the day on Radio 4 as she was getting up early to begin work.

Produced by Elizabeth Burke. A Loftus production, for BBC Radio 3.

The Power of Alchemy
Sun 18 May 2014
17:30
BBC Radio 3
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b043p4wl
The Power of Alchemy, a journey through the physical and spiritual dimensions of this legendary and mysterious practice, with texts by both ancient and modern writers including WB Yeats, Ezra Pound, Jorge Luis Borges, Paulo Coelho and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, read by Siân Phillips and Donald Sumpter.

Producer's Note
The Power of Alchemy, the title I’ve given to this programme, is a reflective journey through the physical and spiritual dimensions of this legendary and mysterious practice, with prose and verse by both ancient and modern writers from the East and West, including WB Yeats, Ezra Pound, Jorge Luis Borges, Paulo Coelho and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, read by Siân Phillips and Donald Sumpter.

The interest on the subject, of which I can’t claim to be an expert, came from reading yet again Gabriel García Márquez’s epic novel ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’. It’s one of my all-time favourite books, and I find myself returning to it again from time to time. There’s an episode early on in the book in which the protagonist tries his luck at multiplying gold, his wife’s cherished and closely guarded inheritance, using an alchemist’s laboratory he’s been given as a gift – with terrible consequences! The episode, which is included in this programme, caused me to delve into this profound and dark subject, but it so happened that half-way through my reading the Nobel-prize winner and celebrated author, arguably a true literary alchemist thanks to his poetic and magical imagery, passed away – all the more reason for me, I thought, to carry on with my endeavour!

The texts I selected cover a broad range in terms of topics and origin – there are contributions from the early and later Middle Ages, from the Renaissance and the beginning of the Enlightenment, from Victorian scholars, as well as from ancient China. I wanted to strike a balance between statements explaining what alchemy was and how alchemists actually worked, on the one hand, and more complex thoughts on the other, texts exploring the spiritual concerns their craft triggered as these practitioners sought transcendental answers in the manipulating of the natural world. Worth noting perhaps is an excerpt from Ben Jonson’s play ‘The Alchemist’ in which two characters, an alchemist and a doubter, debate the true nature of this practice. Also, there’s a wonderful excerpt from a poem by Ezra Pound called ‘The Alchemist – Chant for the Transmutation of Metals’, whose rhymes and rhythm make the piece all but a magician’s spell. The programme ends with some reflective poems, looking beyond life, from the celebrated Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, and from two Chinese philosophers, all mixed with music by Arvo Part and a beautiful piece performed on a classical harp and a West-African kora, which symbolise the blending together of otherwise unrelated sounds – which takes us directly to the music.

Music is pure alchemy in this programme, and in many different ways. My first instinct was to reflect in sounds the aura of mystery, secrecy and dark shade that have always accompanied alchemy. I wanted edgy and uncomfortable pieces, dissonances, sad tonalities, abrupt changes, music that would almost sound like an alchemical experiment taking place in front of our very ears. The programme opens with one such piece, Jean-Fery Rebel’s Chaos, from his pioneering Baroque work ‘Les Elements’, describing how things were before the creation of the universe. Needless to say, the 20th-Century provides an endless supply of this particular kind of flavour, so I used, among others, Varese’s ‘Ameriques’, Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s ‘Trumpet Concerto’ and Ligeti’s choral masterwork ‘Lux Aeterna’. There are also, thrown in for good measure, some spiritual pieces, inviting reflection.

Another more challenging way in which music reflects alchemy in this programme is the way in which pieces ‘transform’ into others, like alchemists tried in their laboratories by melting metals and other substances together. I did it here by superimposing pieces, fading them in or out, literally ‘fusing’ them together, but – here’s the core of the matter - regardless of their style, period, instruments or mood. Thus, Wagner’s ‘Das Rheingold’ “transforms” into Revueltas’ ‘Sensemayá’, a shamanic chant to tame a snake, for instance; or Varese’s ‘Ionisation’ “melts” into’ Tartini’s ‘Devil Sonata’ for violin solo; or Hovhaness ‘Symphony Ararat’ “fuses” with the music, a ritual dance, by a Mexican indigenous tribe; or Ligeti’s ‘Lux Aeterna’ “becomes” Philip Glass’ ‘Vessels’, to mention just some of my ‘alchemical sound experiments’.

Last but not least, there’s a nod to some composers that can arguably be regarded as veritable ‘music alchemists’ due to their power to paint with music, to suggest atmospheres and moods in a mesmerising and intriguing way. Alexander Scriabin, Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner, Silvestre Revueltas, Gyorgy Ligeti, Manuel de Falla, Arvo Part, whose contributions enhance this programme, belong to this category.

I hope this journey will only reflect on the way in which people from time immemorial have gone about trying to control and manipulate nature, and in the process sought deep spiritual answers about our role on earth and beyond. Perhaps safe now in his own afterlife García Márquez, who as I mentioned above inspired this idea and to whose memory I wish to dedicate this programme, may now know all of the answers posed hereby, in our Words and Music ‘The Power of Alchemy’...
