All
timings are listed in both Greenwich Mean Time and Eastern Daylight Time. North
America and Europe are now on Daylight Savings Time. For those of you who live
in other time zones, you will need to make a calculation to derive the time of
an event where you live. In the United States, subtract four (4) hours (from GMT)
for the Eastern Time Zone, five (5) hours for the Central Time Zone, and six (6)
hours for the Mountain Time Zone. Subtract seven (7) hours for the Pacific Time
Zone and eight (8) hours for Alaska, and nine (9) hours for Hawaii. In the U.K.,
Ireland and Portugal, add one (1) hour and in most of Europe add two (2) hours
(some Eastern European countries are now three (3) hours ahead of GMT.
For
those in the United States, it is useful to keep in mind that broadcasts in the
evening hours often appear in the NEXT day's listings because they occur in the
small hours in GMT time, which is our primary reference in the following listings.
For
more information on time zone calculations, double click the time display on the
lower right of your screen (if you are using a PC) to display the Time Zone tab,
then click on the drop-down menu for a full list of time zones and their relationships
to Greenwich Mean Time. You may also let the TIME CONVERTER do the calculations for you.

Afternoon at the Opera: Twice
before on the Sunday, of the Memorial Day weekends of 1988 and '90 I broadcast
Benjamin Britten's much admired War Requiem (1961). the war Britten was commemorating
was the First World War and its Armistice Day, November 11, 1918. the war requiem
concept in general certainly applies to our Memorial Day solemnities, dating from
the time immediately after our Civil War. there was a similar monumental British
war requiem before Britten's that was popular for a while but has long been forgotten:
John Fould's A World Requiem (1918-20). By today's standards John Herbert Foulds
(1880-1939) might be considered a New Age kind of guy. An ardent peacenik, he
was attracted to European theosophy and Hindu mysticism. Starting out as a cellist
in the Halle Orchestra, he composed mostly in the vein of British light music.
In terms of style Fould's was a late romantic modernist who'd dabbled in quarter
tones. A World Requiem is his magnum opus, on the scale of Schoenberg's Gurrelieder
or Mahler's "Symphony of A thousand." Twelve hundred performers were
gathered in the Albert Hall, London on Armistice Night, 1923, for a concert to
benefit a veterans organization, the British Legion. the hall was filled to capacity.
the Prince of Wales was in attendance. George Bernard Shaw and other notables
lavished praise on what was often referred to as Foulds' "Cenotaph Requiem."
BBC broadcast excerpts from it in 1926, then it disappeared until Armistice Night,
2007, when thanks again to BBC it was preformed in its entirety before an audience
in live broadcast at the Royal Albert Hall and given its world premiere recording
for the British label Chandos. the assemblage of singers and players is most impressive:
the BBC Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Chorus, Philharmonia Chorus, Crouch and
Festival chorus, and the Trinity Boys' Choir, with four vocal soloists. Leon Botstein
directed them all. It was released on two Chandos CDs earlier this year. I hope
Foulds' all-embracing musical conception will inspire you to make my broadcast
part of your own special "Festival of Remembrance", as the British termed
it, for all those of whatever nation who have fallen in battle. (3 hrs., 30 min.) |
