Part of Radio 3's WWI season, Music in the Great War.

Penny Gore returns to the home front in today's afternoon exploration of music connected with World War One; starting with the recording from English National Opera of Mark-Anthony Turnage's opera The Silver Tassie, based on Sean O'Casey's play about the First World War. It is followed by the first modern performance of Stanford's own orchestration of the 2nd and 3rd movements of his 2nd Organ Sonata, edited by Jeremy Dibble. The programme includes partsongs by Ernest Farrar who was killed after two days on the Western Front.
