April 16, 2024 The Process of Creation - Art and Craft in Music
#38 Are musicians like artisans? How do artisans work? Starting from an existing composition (a Chopin Prelude) I guide you through the creative process of an entirely new - and unplanned - short musical work. An opportunity to look at the strategies, the choices, the stumbling-retrying, and the motivations that lead the way towards the creation of a final piece.

February 29, 2024The Mystery of 5ths - Harmony Starts Here
#33 In this episode we will immerse ourselves in the fabric of sound, to discover how the rules governing music and harmony are emerging from sound itself. I take musical examples from Beethoven, Bach, and contemporary artists like S. Battaglia and G. Grisey to suggest how the inner architecture of sound informs music.

February 20, 2024Gershwin's Stylistic Genius - Do It Again, George!
#32 – The relevance of Gershwin’s music is hard to overstate: drawing from all musical traditions of his recent past (the America of 19th century) and his contemporary world, Gershwin sets the standard for song composing for a century afterwards. Today we look into a song called ‘Do It Again’, from the musical show A French Doll (1922) as an example of Gershwin’s remarkable musical intuition and richness of style.

February 12, 2024How the Magic is Done. "Calling You" – Bagdad Cafe
#31 – Today we look into a song and uncover what it is that makes it special. Neither its melody nor its harmony or feel, by themselves are enough: only the combination of all its elements into one elegant artwork can raise a tune into a significant and memorable experience. The song ‘Calling You’ (1987) by the soul/gospel singer Jevetta Steele is a perfect example.

February 05, 2024The Life of a Song. "Black is the Colour"
#30 In today’s journey I will track the origins of a tune that has crossed continents and centuries, inspiring generations of artists and allowing us to wonder: where does music come from? Some songs, and "Black is the Colour of My True Love's Hair" is one of them, have a history that shows the powerful yet elusive nature of music, perhaps the reasons why we are so attached to it.
