Schedules for 23 - 29 January, 2016

Music, Numerology and Bach

Amelia Nurse and harpsichordist and lecturer Erin Helyard are chatting about the role of numbers and numerology in music, and in particular the music of Bach. They discuss recordings and play live examples to try to get to the bottom of the centuries old question: to what degree did Bach used numbers to convey hidden meaning in his music? (RNZ)
