Today, Wednesday October 6th, we explore the music of the Baroque era. We’ll be including the work of a wide range of composers. Many will be familiar; other perhaps less so; or they may have written pieces that we know well but have no idea of who composed them — for example English composer Thomas Arne, who wrote Rule Britannia but also a range of other pieces which deserve more interest than is usually paid to them. And there is plenty of Bach in today’s programme!
Then at 12 noon and 4pm Pacific / 8pm or midnight UK time, there’s another chance to hear Episode 17 of “Where Have You Been?”, our twice-monthly show on places to visit and things to do around the Second Life Grid. And in this seasonal episode, we visit Embrace Aphrodite’s Darkness and Ghastly Manor. Featuring three attractions, ranging from a scenic railroad to an arcade ghost-train style ride, it’s a delightfully varied destination for those who love Hallowe’en fun.
And every four hours from 4am Pacific/noon in the UK, tune in for “The Engines of Our Ingenuity”, from the University of Houston, about the machines that make our civilization run and the people whose ingenuity created them.
In addition, don’t forget to catch our presentation of Frankenstein in two parts starting Saturday 9th.

Today’s programme focuses on brass instruments, with genres that range from Early Music to contemporary pieces.
Thus the genres range from ancient and early music, through Baroque and classical, to Victorian brass bands, to ragtime, trad jazz, a touch of big band, right up to modern works including a marvellous suite of pieces for wind band inspired by the works of Shakespeare.
This will all lead to some remarkable juxtapositions — and a few surprises.
