British Composers
17th November: Today’s programme features music from British composers old and new, primarily focusing on classical styles. The playlist includes Edward German, Richard Harvey, Gerald Finzi, Sir Arthur Bliss, Jon Lord, Christopher Gunning, Vaughan Williams, Havergal Brian and many more.
Then tune in at 12 noon or 4pm Pacific Time / 8pm or midnight in the UK, for another chance to hear the latest episode of “Where Have You Been?”. Episode 20 features two very different art galleries in Second Life, yet pursuing similar goals of access to both artists and residents: The Love&Love Factory Art Gallery and The Elven Falls Art Collective.
And don’t miss the latest episode of “Engines of Our Ingenuity” from the University of Houston, every four hours from 4am Pacific.

Genre Day: Music of the Baroque
Today, Saturday February 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.
