Today’s programme features members of the woodwind family — oboe, clarinet, flute, bassoon, recorder and more, including the gamut of Early Music woodwinds like the shawn (the predecessor of the oboe), curtal (a proto-bassoon) and crumhorn.
Of course, the majority of orchestral music includes a woodwind section, so the criterion for inclusion in today’s show was that a member of the woodwind family is the lead instrument — a “wind band” is not sufficient (and they’re generally usually brass-heavy anyway), but a concerto for bassoon (yes there is at least one) counts.

And at 12 noon and 4pm Pacific Time/SLT, tune in for the latest episode of “Where Have You Been?”, where this time we take you on a classic pilgrimage: The Camino de Santiago — a tribute experience created by Viktor Savior and Orpheus Paxlapis around Brazilian author Paulo Coelho’s 1987 book, “The Pilgrimage.”
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.
Sometimes you just want to get out and see something new or different. This time, we are visiting a small venue on the edge of a continent that is just perfect for that sort of thing: The Decks, owned by Jack Vincent.
