            I blame Britten's Simple Symphony, with its
            Boisterous Bourrée
            Playful Pizzicato
            Sentimental Sarabande
            and
            Frolicsome Finale

                Sexy sextets might get the younger audience’s attention (they would probably read it as sex texts)
                "...the isle is full of noises,
                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    Hmm. Looks as if we're through the alphabet - I was hoping the R would be Rowdy Rodeos - each programme with a dozen different versions.
                    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                        From a back-of-the-envelope marketing department idea for a trailer:
                        The new 5 to 7 slot on Radio Three - running the full gamut of classical music from A to B.

                              Here, yet again, is what we poor Brits have missed.
                              Available to listen to via more enlightened European broadcasters (who are not desperately chasing youngsters at the expense of established listeners) - for example, Swedish radio:


                              01 May 2021
                              05:01 William Boyce & Maurice Greene; Suite for two trumpets and organ; Ivan Hadliyski (trumpet), Roman Hajiyski (trumpet), Velin Iliev (organ)
                              05:11 Bela Bartok; Suite for piano (Sz.62) (Op.14); Eduard Kunz (piano)
                              05:20 George Frideric Handel; Gentle Morpheus, son of night (Calliope's song) from Alceste; Emma Kirkby (soprano), Academy of Ancient Music, Andrew Manze (director)
                              05:29 Santiago de Murcia; 2 pieces from 'Codex de Saldívar'; Xavier Diaz-Latorre (guitar)
                              05:38 Johann Sebastian Bach; Concerto for 4 keyboards in A minor (BWV.1065); Ton Koopman (harpsichord), Tini Mathot (harpsichord), Patrizia Marisaldi (harpsichord), Elina Mustonen (harpsichord), Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, Ton Koopman (director)
                              05:48 Ludomir Rozycki; Stanczyk - Symphonic Scherzo Op 1; National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Janusz Przbylski (conductor)
                              05:58 Mirko Krajci; Pains and Hopes (Dolori e speranze); Mucha Quartet
                              06:12 Rudolf Escher; Arcana Suite for piano; Ronald Brautigam (piano)
                              06:34 Maurice Ravel; Trio for piano and strings in A minor; Altenberg Trio Vienna
                              Info from https://www.ebu.ch/files/live/sites/...May%202021.pdf

                              I really enjoyed the Bach, and the Ravel was a good piece to end on (and new to me). A tad worried that Gentle Morpheus might send me to sleep after the Boyce & Bartok.

                                I forgot - again.
                                Up too early and befuddled after a bad night I switched to radio on and was treated to William Byrd. "Oh back to normal" flitted through my mind, only to be rudely banished by some male wailing which followed it...

                                Perhaps I need to put a warning note on the radio above the On switch - "Think, is it Saturday?" as it's really not a good way to start the day. Knowing that the intended audience won't be subjected to the same distress as they won't be listening in real time rubs salt into the wound.
