Today we talk with composer Rain Worthington about how she started composing and without a background in theory, why a rigid analytical view of music can block creativity, and why we must not think of music as a competition.Today we discuss:How New York’s Minimalist composers and the artistic culture of the city allowed Rain to experiment as a novice (13:11)How Rain and Luke found freedom by releasing themselves from the confines of western musical standards. (22:09)How composers and conductors fall in love with a fragment of music. (29.54)Being a self-taught composer, and how thinking too much about the theory of music can block creativity in composition and performance. (34:21)What makes a composer, a musician, a piece, or a performance unique when we have only 12 notes and almost everything has been done already. (40:06)The emotional content of music, taking the listener on a journey, and how programs that are too specific can separate the listener from the music. (44:53)Building a career by building relationships, understanding that art is not a competition, and realizing that every success for one is a success for everybody. (54:29)The pieces that best reflect Rain as a composer, her compositional efforts to process the tragedy of 9/11, and how we can respond to any tragedy as artists.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Horace (65-8BC), who flourished under the Emperor Augustus. He was one of the greatest poets of his age and is one of the most quoted of any age. Carpe diem, nil desperandum, nunc est bibendum – that’s Horace. He was the son of a freedman from southern Italy and, thanks to his talent, achieved high status in Rome despite fighting on the losing side in the civil wars. His Odes are widely thought his most enduring works, yet he also wrote his scurrilous Epodes, some philosophical Epistles and broad Satires. He’s influenced poets ever since, including those such as Wilfred Owen who rejected his line: ‘dulce et decorum est pro patria mori’. With Emily Gowers Professor of Latin Literature at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of St John’s College William Fitzgerald Professor of Latin Language and Literature at King’s College London and Ellen O’Gorman Senior Lecturer in Classics at the University of Bristol Producer: Simon Tillotson

E3 2011 is three weeks away. Or is it? Join Simon, Ann and games industry luminaries Michael French (editor-in-chief, MCV) and Nicholas Lovell (director, Gamesbrief.com) as they: * Talk about E3s gone by. Learn all about the time Simon heard actual gunshots, the cost of EA's screen, and whether a $7billion party is a good idea * Spoil E3 2011 by revealing what will be announced. We go there so you don't have to go there. * Forget to properly credit the music tracks, most of which are from 8BC or YouTube. Next week, Ste will be back from the pub to present another OLL spin-off. Or is it Ann Life Left? I don't think we ever got to the bottom of it.
