Columbia Competition

To mark the centenary of the death of Schubert the 'Columbia Graphophone Company of Great Britain' held a much-publicised competition for composers to submit a completion of Schubert's 'Unfinished' Symphony.

Steve Danby presents music by many of the entrants - who are as offbeat a bunch of composers as you could ever wish for, including some who've never been heard on RNZ Concert before. (And at least one who will never be heard again.) (RNZ)

The Secret Life of the Orchestra

Strings

The Orchestra is a mysterious beast. Developed over hundreds of years from instruments with diverse origins; assembling massive numbers of musicians playing instruments that require many years of practice to master; capable of changes in sound and colour that range from a whisper to a jet engine...

When it all comes together, the results can be startling, but how does it all work? And where did it all come from?

Karl Steven concludes his four-part investigation of the parts of the orchestra with the enormous string family, unlocking the mystery of the heart of the orchestra and learning how violinists came to be associated with the devil (RNZ)

As we listen to pieces of violin music, composed between the early 1700s and the early 1900s, we recognize changing forms and styles. But we seldom relate these changes to the wider changes happening in European culture. In this five-part series John Drummond treats pieces of violin music as windows into the time of their composition, relating them to contemporary values, ideas and tastes
