Romola Garai won her first professional acting roles as a teenager, and since then, her career has taken her in a wide range of dramatic directions. Most recently, she won a 2025 Olivier Award for her role in The Years, a sometimes shocking play based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux – and she was competing against herself, with a nomination in the same category for her part in Giant, a play about Roald Dahl.Her previous stage work includes playing Cordelia opposite Ian McKellen's King Lear, and her extensive screen credits include the title role in a BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. She also won acclaim for The Hour, a drama set behind the scenes of a TV current affairs programme in the 1950s. In 2020, she went behind the camera to write and direct a horror film called Amulet. Romola's music choices include John Taverner, Handel and Keith Jarrett.
Hannah French visits Claire van Kampen - the Tudor music advisor & arranger for both Wolf Hall TV series - to explore the music associated with many of the main characters, including King Henry VIII, Thomas Cromwell, Anne Boleyn and Lady Mary, as well as some of the musicians at court: Mark Smeaton, John Taverner and John Blanke.
The American writer Garth Greenwell won widespread acclaim for his first novel, What Belongs to You, including the British Book Award for the Debut of the Year in 2016. This success would have surprised his high-school teachers in Kentucky. As a teenager, he failed English and decided to follow a very different path: he turned to singing and eventually trained as an opera singer. Studying music led him back to literature – writing poems, novels and working as a teacher in Bulgaria. His most recent novel, Small Rain, focuses on a severe medical emergency which leads to deep meditations on our vulnerability, life and love. Garth's musical passions include works by Mahler, Britten, Richard Strauss and the 16th century English composer John Taverner. Presenter Michael Berkeley Producer Clare Walker

London and Yorkshire raised this honourable musician evolved from early classical piano and drum lessons with the notorious Fanny Waterman and Jimmy Blades on to Jazz, Blues and Rock & Roll upon hearing John Coltrane, The Beatles, Cream and John Mayall and then guided by John Taverner who "taught" him to improvise by duetting on a full size/3 console church organ. The early 70's manifested his first band, Global Village Trucking Company which led to non-stop touring establishing them as one of the most sought after UK acts with their lifestyle documented by the BBC on ‘By Way of a Change'. As a session keyboardist he recorded and toured with the likes of Frank Zappa, Joan Armatrading, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Annette Peacock, Snowy White, Shusha, Paul Buckmaster and L. Shankar whilst also fronting his own bands. Joining a pool of Caribbean, Japanese and European musicians saw 80's virtuosic jazz/funk outfit The Breakfast Band formed with further tours and albums that gained fans in Japan and spawned club hits in London. A sabbatical from gigging had him drive his family on an 8 month trip in a converted Mercedes motor home to Israel, Egypt, Morocco and Europe absorbing music, culture and instruments inspiring him to document and record Tribal music from around the world. Settling in New Mexico he released traditional Native American songs on his own label, Tribal Music International and soon became Albuquerque University resident DJ with his own show, Global Tribal Music exploring links and origins of instruments and tribes. Based back in the UK, we welcome this global music maker.

Kitty Macfarlane is known for her pure voice, poetic song writing and passion for the natural world. She was nominated for the Horizon award at the 2019 Radio 2 Folk Awards. Kitty was born and brought up in Somerset and is often inspired by the landscape of the county. On this unexpectedly sunny January walk, she and Matthew Bannister climb the historic Burrow Mump hill. Here she sings a song inspired by the view, “Man Friendship”. As they walk along the nearby river, Kitty stops to sing her song about migration: “Glass Eel”. Then it’s off to her favourite bird sanctuary where they observe many different species and she sings her song about witnessing a murmuration of starlings. Finally, they discuss the influence of William Blake and John Taverner, before she sings “Lamb”. It is another thought provoking and uplifting episode.
Hannah French explores the simple melody "The Western Wind" that inspired the early 16th Century masses by John Taverner, John Sheppard and Christopher Tye.

The Tallis Scholars' most recent release of music by John Taverner.
Let’s take a quick look back in time...to the year John Taverner died.
We stand at the river, on which Faustus will take his final journey.In the beginning we are presented with clumsy illusion for the appearance of travel, confined to the limitations of a stage. Eventually the limits and boundaries of illusion will be defied. For the moment, as he travels, the scenery will change by the medium of a moving stagecraft, as in an old-fashioned vaudeville; scenery will glide behind him, as it were the bank of the river, while Faustus remains stationery to the center of the stage.***Musical excerpt is “The Hidden Treasure” by John Taverner, performed by the Chilingirian Quartet.
Episode 2 features a pre-concert lecture by Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Professor Teresa Neff. All the music is from the live performance following the lecture. Recorded in September 2007. This episode sponsored by the Cambridge Society for Early Music.
