The Roman Empire's Collapse in the 5th century (In Our Time)
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the causes of the fall of the Roman Empire. Edward Gibbon wrote of its decline, "While that great body was invaded by open violence, or undermined by slow decay, a pure and humble religion gently insinuated itself into the minds of men, grew up in silence and obscurity, derived new vigour from opposition, and finally erected the triumphant banner of the cross on the ruins of the Capitol."But how far is the growth of Christianity implicated in the destruction of the great culture of Rome? How critical were the bawdy incursions of the Ostrogoths, the Visigoths and the Vandals to the fall of the Roman Empire? Should we even be talking in terms of blame and decline at all?St Augustine wrote about the fall of the Roman Empire in the fifth century AD, Edward Gibbo...

NPO Radio 4 Festival 2021 - Minimal Music Concert 🎹
Leun achterover in je stoel tijdens dit bijzondere concert door pianist Jeroen van Veen en saxofonist Tom Sanderman. Ze nemen je mee in de wereld van de Minimal Music.
"Minimal Music is de rode draad door mijn leven als musicus" - Jeroen van Veen
"Van de eerste repeterende klappen in de Sacre du Printemps van Stravinsky, tot de repetitieve klanken van Simeon ten Holt waar ik als kind naar luisterde; ik was geraakt vanaf het eerste moment. Tevens voorvoelde ik dat deze muziekstroming een antwoord geeft op de veranderende tijd, de paradigmawisseling waar we in zitten. Het steeds maar versnellen van de maatschappij, waarbij veel mensen steeds meer behoefte hebben aan eenvoud en rust. In dit programma komen daar een paar voorbeelden van langs; Philip Glass, Arvo Pärt en Ludovico Einaudi."

Ockham's Razor (In Our Time)
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the philosophical ideas of William Ockham including Ockham's Razor. In the small village of Ockham, near Woking in Surrey, stands a church. Made of grey stone, it has a pitched roof and an unassuming church tower but parts of it date back to the 13th century. This means they would have been standing when the village witnessed the birth of one of the greatest philosophers in Medieval Europe. His name was William and he became known as William of Ockham.William of Ockham’s ideas on human freedom and the nature of reality influenced Thomas Hobbes and helped fuel the Reformation. During a turbulent career he managed to offend the Chancellor of Oxford University, disagree with his own ecclesiastical order and get excommunicated by the Pope. He also declared that ...

NPO Radio 4 Festival 2021 - Lunchconcert - Iconisch Klassiek werk 🎶
Jonge talenten Hawijch Elders (viool) en Sander Sittig (piano) spelen iconisch klassiek werk. Met werken van Bach, Hindemith en Saint-Saëns.
Het programma begint met de sublieme muziek van Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Sei Solo a Violino senza Basso accompagnato� (1720). De sonate nr. 1 in g-klein bestaat uit een afwisseling van snelle en langzame delen, karakteristiek voor een sonata da chiesa (kerksonate).
Paul Hindemith geeft in zijn 2e solosonate een 20e-eeuwse, licht ironische terugblik op de ontwikkeling van het repertoire voor viool, met zijn variaties op het lied “Komm, lieber Mai� van W.A. Mozart in het laatste deel van deze sonate.
De “Caprice Valse d’après l’Étude de Camille Saint-Saëns� voor viool en piano is een prachtige bewerking van Saint-Saëns’ zesde Etude voor piano op. 52...

In Our Time: Lord Byron ( BBC Radio 4 - 2011)
In Our Time: Radio interview BBC Radio 4 - Lord Byron
Thursday January 6th, 2011
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Byron's poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.In 1812 the 24-year-old Lord Byron published the first part of a long narrative poem. It caused an instant sensation. "I awoke one morning and found myself famous", wrote Byron in his memorandum book, and the first edition sold out in three days. The poem narrates the life of an aristocrat on a grand tour of Europe. Its central character is the first Byronic hero, a flawed but charismatic young man modelled on the poet.As well as offering a self-portrait of Byron as a young man, Childe Harold is a fascinating snapshot of Europe at the beginning of the nineteenth century, a place ravaged by revolution and war; the poem also gives us an...

Leun achterover in je stoel tijdens dit bijzondere concert door pianist Jeroen van Veen en saxofonist Tom Sanderman. Ze nemen je mee in de wereld van de Minimal Music.
"Minimal Music is de rode draad door mijn leven als musicus" - Jeroen van Veen
"Van de eerste repeterende klappen in de Sacre du Printemps van Stravinsky, tot de repetitieve klanken van Simeon ten Holt waar ik als kind naar luisterde; ik was geraakt vanaf het eerste moment. Tevens voorvoelde ik dat deze muziekstroming een antwoord geeft op de veranderende tijd, de paradigmawisseling waar we in zitten. Het steeds maar versnellen van de maatschappij, waarbij veel mensen steeds meer behoefte hebben aan eenvoud en rust. In dit programma komen daar een paar voorbeelden van langs; Philip Glass, Arvo Pärt en Ludovico Einaudi."
Dit is ook bij uitstek de muziek waarbij mensen beelden en verhalen maken; zo zijn mijn Minimal Preludes gebruikt in het toneelstuk het Jaar van de Kreeft van Luc Perceval door het ITA. Ook de speelfilm The Assistant (2020) heeft mijn muziek in de trailer. Tot slot een stuk dat ik noteerde voor mijn vriend Simeon ten Holt; Aforisme II was een studiewerk, voorafgegaan met electronica uit de jaren 70.
"Als je goed luistert hoor je zijn bekendste werk voor toetsinstrumenten hier al een beetje ontstaan; de Canto Ostinato" - Jeroen van Veen

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the philosophical ideas of William Ockham including Ockham's Razor. In the small village of Ockham, near Woking in Surrey, stands a church. Made of grey stone, it has a pitched roof and an unassuming church tower but parts of it date back to the 13th century. This means they would have been standing when the village witnessed the birth of one of the greatest philosophers in Medieval Europe. His name was William and he became known as William of Ockham.William of Ockham’s ideas on human freedom and the nature of reality influenced Thomas Hobbes and helped fuel the Reformation. During a turbulent career he managed to offend the Chancellor of Oxford University, disagree with his own ecclesiastical order and get excommunicated by the Pope. He also declared that the authority of rulers derives from the people they govern and was one of the first people so to do. Ockham’s razor is the idea that philosophical arguments should be kept as simple as possible, something that Ockham himself practised severely on the theories of his predecessors. But why is William of Ockham significant in the history of philosophy, how did his turbulent life fit within the political dramas of his time and to what extent do we see his ideas in the work of later thinkers such as Thomas Hobbes and even Martin Luther?With Sir Anthony Kenny, philosopher and former Master of Balliol College, Oxford; Marilyn Adams, Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford University; Richard Cross, Professor of Medieval Theology at Oriel College, Oxford

Jonge talenten Hawijch Elders (viool) en Sander Sittig (piano) spelen iconisch klassiek werk. Met werken van Bach, Hindemith en Saint-Saëns.
Het programma begint met de sublieme muziek van Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Sei Solo a Violino senza Basso accompagnato� (1720). De sonate nr. 1 in g-klein bestaat uit een afwisseling van snelle en langzame delen, karakteristiek voor een sonata da chiesa (kerksonate).
Paul Hindemith geeft in zijn 2e solosonate een 20e-eeuwse, licht ironische terugblik op de ontwikkeling van het repertoire voor viool, met zijn variaties op het lied “Komm, lieber Mai� van W.A. Mozart in het laatste deel van deze sonate.
De “Caprice Valse d’après l’Étude de Camille Saint-Saëns� voor viool en piano is een prachtige bewerking van Saint-Saëns’ zesde Etude voor piano op. 52 door de Belgische viool-virtuoos en componist Eugène Ysaÿe. Het weerspiegelt Ysaÿe’s grote kennis van de muzikale mogelijkheden van het instrument, met een uitnodigende virtuositeit.
Programma
Bach - Sonate nr.1 BWV 1001: Adagio, Fuga, Siciliano, Presto
Hindemith - Sonate op.31, deel 2 en 4
Ysaÿe - Caprice valse d’après l’Étude de Camille Saint-Saëns op.52, nr.6

First broadcasted on April 3, 2010.
Dramatisation of Ian Fleming's classic novel. When James Bond begins his pursuit of an international criminal, he discovers that a daring heist is on the agenda - and mass murder.
Ian Fleming's 1959 novel faithfully dramatised by Archie Scottney and directed by Martin Jarvis. Toby Stephens returns as 007, and a glittering cast is led by Ian McKellen in the title role. With cameo roles by top actors - all delighted to contribute to this remarkable Fleming adventure. Rosamund Pike plays wacky gang-boss Pussy Galore and Lisa Dillon is the vengeful Tilly Masterton. John Standing returns as 'M.' Tom Hollander, Tim Pigott-Smith and American star Hector Elizondo as New York City mobsters. Bond and Goldfinger are joined in the famous golf game by Alistair McGowan as the caddie, Hawker. Henry Goodman, Ian Ogilvy and Lloyd Owen contribute to the excitement. And Jon David Yu throws his bowler-hat with deadly effect as 'Oddjob.'
Auric Goldfinger is not only a cheat at canasta and golf, he's also an international criminal on a massive scale. His obsession: gold. James Bond is charged by the Bank of England and MI5 to discover what Goldfinger is actually doing with his vast hoards of gold. Is he somehow connected with SMERSH - the feared soviet spy-killing organisation? When 007 becomes an undercover member of Goldfinger's team he soon learns that the madman's plans are more grandiose than even 'M' could possibly have imagined. Amazingly, robbing Fort Knox is on the agenda - and mass murder...

In Our Time: Radio interview BBC Radio 4 - Lord Byron
Thursday January 6th, 2011
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Byron's poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.In 1812 the 24-year-old Lord Byron published the first part of a long narrative poem. It caused an instant sensation. "I awoke one morning and found myself famous", wrote Byron in his memorandum book, and the first edition sold out in three days. The poem narrates the life of an aristocrat on a grand tour of Europe. Its central character is the first Byronic hero, a flawed but charismatic young man modelled on the poet.As well as offering a self-portrait of Byron as a young man, Childe Harold is a fascinating snapshot of Europe at the beginning of the nineteenth century, a place ravaged by revolution and war; the poem also gives us an insight into the political and intellectual concerns of its author.
With:
Jonathan Bate, Professor of English Literature at the University of Warwick
Jane Stabler, Reader in Romanticism at the University of St Andrews
Emily Bernhard Jackson, Assistant Professor in 19th Century English Literature at the University of Arkansas.
Producer: Thomas Morris.
