SUN .......... Birdsong has fascinated poets and musicians for centuries. SUN .......... This poetry selection spans 700 years, from Dafydd ap SUN .......... Gwilym's 14th-century hymn to the thrush to RS Thomas's SUN .......... more recent celebration of the blackbird, while the music SUN .......... ranges almost as far, from the Renaissance lute-song The SUN .......... dark is my delight to a section from Einojuhani SUN .......... Rautavaara's atmospheric Cantus arcticus, memorably SUN .......... enriched by the recorded sound of migrating swans. SUN .......... SUN .......... With a pair of 'catalogues' (opening with Izaak Walton's SUN .......... inventory of the 'nimble musicians of the air'), but for SUN .......... the greater part have chosen to concentrate on those SUN .......... songsters who have inspired the most frequent creative SUN .......... effort. Most popular among them by far is the nightingale, SUN .......... the thrilling musician of the woods who reduces the other SUN .......... birds to silence with her brilliance in Blake's Milton, SUN .......... sings her traditional song of lost love in Richard SUN .......... Barnfield's As it fell upon a day, and offers SUN .......... encouragement to human lovers in a ravishing air from SUN .......... Rameau's opera Hippolyte et Aricie. For Leslie Norris the SUN .......... voice of 'the poet's bird' is both pleasure and torment, a SUN .......... spur to the c SUN .......... SUN .......... Not far behind is the skylark, whose ebullient airborne SUN .......... music - for many people the sound of the British summer - SUN .......... is here celebrated in an anonymous 17th-century poem and SUN .......... in music connecting its song to the cares of lovers from SUN .......... the English folk tradition and by Hoagy Carmichael. SUN .......... SUN .......... Less virtuosic but no less irresistible to artists have SUN .......... been the cuckoo - the two-note herald of spring humorously SUN .......... imitated by Saint-Saens and argued over in words by SUN .......... Wordsworth and Bunyan - and the owl, whose comforting and SUN .......... disturbing contributions to the soundscape of the winter SUN .......... night are evoked by Edward Thomas and in Dominick SUN .......... Argento's setting of lines from Love's Labour's Lost. SUN .......... SUN .......... Other composers and poets have essayed more demanding SUN .......... birdsong imitations: Olivier Messiaen's intricately SUN .......... notated representations became a vital part of his own SUN .......... creative personality; Gerard Manley Hopkins ambitiously SUN .......... attempts a verbal characterisation of a woodlark. SUN .......... SUN .......... Few of these skilful impressions would count for much SUN .......... without some wider resonance. We have seen that birdsong SUN .......... both marks out the seasons and reminds us of our humble SUN .......... place in the natural world. But above all, and as all the SUN .......... poets and composers represented in this programme have SUN .......... recognised, birdsong also touches something deep in our SUN .......... hearts, unstopping the streams of love, longing, memory, SUN .......... joy, laughter and melancholy that lie within us all.

FRI .......... FRI .......... Rabbi Bayfield has focused strongly on promoting FRI .......... Jewish-Christian-Muslim dialogue as well as criticising FRI .......... all forms of fundamentalism. In 2008, he spearheaded a FRI .......... commitment to collaborate with other branches of Judaism FRI .......... in an attempt to embrace diversity and pluralism and FRI .......... reduce in-fighting. His stance has seen him publicly FRI .......... oppose his friend of 40 years, Britain's Chief Rabbi Sir FRI .......... Jonathan Sacks. Yet that friendship remains, despite the FRI .......... passionate theological divide. FRI ..........
