Words and Music Making Music Words and Music: 'Making Music'

As the Proms season comes to its final week we feature a series of readings from Sylvestra Le Touzel and Paul Jesson considering what we do when we create, practice and perform music. The writers featured include Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, Philip Larkin, John Dryden and James Joyce. The music comes from composers and performers such as Bach, Mozart, Saint-Sa毛ns, Keith Jarrett, Joni Mitchell, Sidney Bechet and William Alwyn. Producer: Harry Parker (Main image: Royal Albert Hall.
