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 Fall and Rise of Harpsichord 6

In August 1956, a beautiful new harpsichord arrived in Wellington aboard the RMS Rangitoto. It had been purchased from its maker, Thomas Goff of London, by the New Zealand Broadcasting Service for use by the National Orchestra in baroque repertoire. Why was this instrument so special and what went wrong when it got to New Zealand? Where is it now? Was there a happy ending? James Gardner delves into the surprisingly colourful and quirky story of a harpsichord and its maker and talks to several people with connections to the instrument (RNZ)

10:00 Relevant Tones: Radiohead

Crossover between classical and rock musicians was common in the 1970's but has taken a bit of a break until recently. Now instead of composers influencing rock musicians like Brian Eno, a rock band is having a huge influence on a diverse array of composers around the globe. The music of Radiohead has been arranged by countless composers and has yielded fascinating results (WFMT)

11:00 New Music Dreams

Come along for a mesmerising ride as Ryan Smith explores ambient and drone music - handpicked from the very latest, to 20th century seminal masterpieces and everything in between
