Today’s programme takes us back to the the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries, with music from the time of novelist Jane Austen (1775–1817) and the painter (Thomas) Gainsborough (1728–1788) — in other words, music that takes us from the late Baroque to the early Classical period.

Music of the Baroque

Wednesday April 12th, and today we’re featuring music of the Baroque era, with a particularly extensive collection of music by J S Bach.
Plus it’s your last chance to hear the current episode of “Where Have You Been?”, where we report on interesting things to see and do across the Second Life Grid, at noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT, where we visit Armstrong Park in a virtual New Orleans; and don’t miss “Engines of Our Ingenuity” from the University of Houston, every four hours from 4am Pacific.

Today, Wednesday January 18, we present a wealth of keyboard pieces — primarily on piano, harpsichord and organ, but you’ll hear some other traditional keyboard instruments too — both solo and with other musical forces backing them.
The main spread of the programme encompasses the Baroque and Classical periods, but you’ll also hear some more modern pieces including treatments of classical pieces, and some engaging little 19th century pieces that are less well-known. Most of the time, there is a classical or baroque link in there somewhere, even if it’s not immediately obvious.
