The death of Pope Francis on the 21st April understandably led to a wave of media coverage, but did the BBC get it right? Andrea Catherwood puts your views to Aleem Maqbool, Religion Editor for BBC News, and hears about what it takes to prepare for such a solemn occasion. And what did listeners think of the episode of Witness History that came directly after the Pope's Requiem Mass on the Sunday morning?Listeners talk about Clive Myrie's Music on the Front Line which returned for another series as part of Radio 3's Music Matters this Spring. Clive interviews fellow journalists about the music they've turned to while reporting from some of the world's most dangerous conflict zones. And you might have noticed a questionnaire - Our BBC, Our Future - in your email inbox recently, asking what you watch and listen to and your thoughts on the future of the Corporation. We hear your reactions, and Andrea talks to Professor Matt Walsh, Head of the Journalism School at the University of Cardiff, about the biggest public engagement exercise the BBC has carried out.

Friends of the Rosary, Today, October 28, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Apostles Saints Jude Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot. The two disciples of Christ have shared this feast since ancient times. They both expired as martyrs. St. Jude is the author of a short Epistle, which forms part of the New Testament. He is the patron saint of desperate situations, forgotten causes, hospital workers, hospitals, impossible causes, lost causes, and the diocese of Saint Petersburg, Florida. Through his intercession, St. Jude helped several saints in significant or hopeless matters, so his reputation as the patron of impossible causes began. In art, Jude typically bears a medallion imprinted with the face of Christ, while St. Simon is represented with a saw, the instrument of his martyrdom. Simon was a vigorous defender of the Law, a fighter. He is mentioned on all four lists of the apostles. On two of them, he is called “the Zealot.” The Zealots were a Jewish sect that represented an extreme of Jewish nationalism. They raided and killed, attacking both foreigners and “collaborating” Jews. However, Jesus needed no Zealots to bring about the kingdom by force. Like this former Zealot, Jesus chose some unlikely people: a former tax collector, an impetuous fisherman, two “sons of thunder,” and a man named Judas Iscariot. Today is also the third anniversary of the departure of Maria Blanca, co-founder of the Rosary Network. A Requiem Mass will be celebrated at 7:00 pm in the Basilica of St. John the Evangelist in Stamford, Connecticut. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Sts. Jude Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot, Pray for Us! Come, Holy Spirit, come! To Jesus through Mary! + Mikel Amigot | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • October 28, 2024, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

What does this 1984 film, a largely fictional account of the relationship between Mozart and fellow composer Antonio Salieri, tell us about the mix of jealousy disgust and admiration that motivates Salieri as he deals with the profane Mozart? How does the movie portray Salieri's conflicted love/hate relationship with God, and use the contrast between Mozart's profane life and personality, and the profound and sublime beauty of his music, to motivate that conflict? How does Salieri's plot to convince Mozart that his deceased father has commissioned him to compose a Requiem Mass illustrate? Does Salieri ever reconcile himself with his own mediocre talent? Why does this film largely fictionalize the actual relationship between the two men, which did have elements of friction, but was largely professional and, to a degree, collegial? How does this film from the 1980s reflect the hard living by pop stars in the 1960s and 1970s? How does the film comment upon censoriousness with regard to art? How does it comment upon the musical tastes and political concerns of the aristocracy of the day, upon market forces, and reflect similar dynamics in today's film industry?

SynopsisWolfgang Mozart died on Dec. 5, 1791, leaving behind an unfinished Requiem Mass, commissioned anonymously by Count Franz von Walsegg, a 28-year-old Austrian nobleman who had the ignoble habit of passing off works he commissioned as his own. The Requiem was intended to be a memorial to the count's 20-year-old wife, Anna, who had died earlier that year.Mozart's wife, Constanza, arranged for some of Mozart's pupils to complete the unfinished Requiem and eventually delivered it to Count Walsegg in order to receive the full commission fee promised her husband.But just five days after Mozart's death in 1791, the portions of the Requiem that Mozart had completed were sung at a memorial service organized by his friend and collaborator Emanuel Schikaneder.Schikaneder was the librettist for Mozart's opera The Magic Flute and ran his own opera house at the Theater auf der Wieden in a Viennese suburb. It was there that Mozart's Magic Flute had premiered, and it was Schikaneder's musicians who performed parts of Mozart's Requiem for the first time on today's date in 1791, at St. Michael's Church in the center of Vienna.Music Played in Today's ProgramWolfgang Mozart (1756-1791) Requiem
Canon Ross Bourgeois, ICKSP serves as Parochial Vicar at Most Precious Blood of Jesus Parish in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Canon Bourgeois was ordained in 2019. In Today's Show: Could you please explain how the misconception that is The Rapture became commonly accepted, even among Catholics? Protestants claim that since Jesus and His disciples lived in poverty, the Catholic church should not have any funds and that we shouldn't build large cathedrals with acquired money. How should we respond to those types of claims? How to dispose of sinful things like tarot cards - do we burn them? Also, how to dispose of sacramentals? How do I know when to abstain from receiving the Eucharist? Is being late to Mass something I must confess? When does it not cover my Sunday obligation? How should the Church view greeters before mass? Is it proper to have them? My father is not Catholic. When God calls him home, would it be appropriate to have a Catholic funeral for him, or should I request a private Requiem Mass for the repose of his soul? How do you obtain first fervor if it was once lost due to sin? How does one build a life of prayer when starting from scratch? When and where did the practice of putting the host in the monstrance, and then having adoration, begin?

SynopsisIn France, today is “la Fete de la Toussaint” – All Saints' Day – observed as both a sacred and secular national holiday, a time to visit cemeteries and put flowers on the graves of relatives. In 1947, when memories of the dead of World War II were still fresh, French Radio broadcast three premieres at a special concert from the Salle Gaveau in Paris.First on the program was the French premiere of Hungarian composer Lazlo Lajhta's somber In Memoriam. This had been the first new orchestral work to be performed in Budapest when concert life had resumed after the war.Second was the world premiere of the Sixth Symphony by Polish composer Alexandre Tansman, who, being Jewish, found refuge in France in 1938, then, during the German occupation, had fled to the United States. In 1946, Tansman returned to Europe in time for the premiere of his symphony, also titled In Memoriam, at this concert.The third work on the program was another world premiere: a newly completed Requiem Mass by French composer Maurice Duruflé, originally commissioned as an orchestral work in 1941 during the German occupation of France, which morphed into a choral Requiem Mass by the time of the liberation.Music Played in Today's ProgramMaurice Duruflé (1902 - 1906) – Requiem (Westminster Choir; Joseph Flummerfelt, cond.)

SynopsisIn the 1970s, the Afro-American Music Opportunities Association collaborated with Columbia Records to create an audio anthology of works by underrepresented Afro-American composers. Dubbed The Black Composer Series, this became a famous series of LPs devoted to recent works by then-contemporary composers as well as notable works from the 18th and 19th centuries.One of the earliest composers represented in Columbia's Black Composer Series was José Maurício Nunes Garcia, who was born in Brazil on today's date in 1767. His grandparents had been African slaves, but his parents were Brazilians of mixed race. Since their young son showed great musical abilities, he was encouraged to pursue musical studies, and eventually secured a prestigious position as master of music at the Royal Chapel in Rio. By that time, he also had become a Roman Catholic priest.Sacred music in 18th-century Brazil was heavily influenced by the symphonic mass settings of Haydn and Mozart. Garcia, in fact, had conducted the first performance of Mozart's Requiem Mass in Rio de Janeiro. Garcia's own Requiem Mass proved to be one of his most famous and often-performed works, and the one selected for inclusion in Columbia's Black Composer Series.Music Played in Today's ProgramJosé Maurício Nunes Garcia (1767 - 1830) – Sanctus, fr Requiem Mass (Morgan State College Chor; Helsinki Philharmonic; Paul Freeman, cond.)

Synopsis If you Google “Verdi” and “Royal Albert Hall,” you'll probably be directed to a very fine Italian restaurant named after the famous Italian opera composer that is located in that famous British concert venue, but back in 1875 the combination of Verdi and the Royal Albert Hall meant not a hot meal but a hot ticket for Londoners.On today's date that year a chorus of over 1000 and an orchestra of 150 assembled at Royal Albert Hall to give the U.K. premiere of Verdi's Requiem Mass, a brand-new sacred work to be conducted by the composer himself.Verdi's “Requiem” had received its world premiere performance almost exactly one year earlier – on May 22, 1874t o be exact – at the Church of San Marco in Milan, a performance also conducted by the composer. Although it was premiered in a church, just three days later Verdi brought his Requiem to Milan's La Scala opera house and cast the lead singers from his latest opera Aida as its four vocal soloists. Commentators ever since have noted shared musical similarities of mood, color, and drama in these two works, and quipped Verdi's “Requiem” might just be his greatest opera.

BIG Crusade Channel Announcement - Mike from Restoring the Faith in Media is coming aboard! Mike Parrott from RTF will host a show called Parrott Talk. Daily 1 hour show right after Lent. The Rundown runs 2 hours WITH video and will also be offered. The Crusade Channel is going to join forces. Wall-street Banker, Military Officer, Hollywood Producer - I've had some distinct changes in career and this one is going to be beautiful. The Roman Catholics stood up - this is what we do - people don't realize when Bishop Sheen was doing all the TV shows and railed against Communism…it is HERE now. I was married to the idea that we have to have LIVE radio station w/ LIVE shows, that idea is dead. We just want GREAT shows and GREAT content w/ the ability to stream easily for our listeners. We are always defending after we get attacked. BOOK RECOMMENDATION - Usury in Christendom: The Mortal Sin that Was and Now is Not by Michael Hoffman Dioceses regularly lends to parishes. Back in the day the Usurious person was treated as a suicide death. They didn't get the Requiem Mass. Eating away of wealth, it is disordered and evil. Restoring the Faith in Media - I grew up to the sound of the Golden Voice - Rush Limbaugh, my religion was the GOP party at the time. I thought it was the source and summit of the time. I had a radical conversion to the Catholic faith 16 years ago, I started to become skeptical to today's political parties and their shenanigans. I had an epiphany that media should be used for the HIGHER good. Better gun laws and putting more Republicans in seats is NOT what is going to save us. There were 4 of us that launched RTF and I am the last man standing. Media is tough work.
God has blessed us in the saintly and humble Pope Benedict...may he receive the reward of his long life of laboring in the Lord's vineyard.
"In one way it was a very straightforward celebration of a Funeral Mass as would take place at the death of any Catholic in any parish church. And yet in another way it was a uniquely historical event and an event of great emotional depth and stature. "I think we can say it's the first time [in over 200 years] that a pope has buried a pope who has just died and in that sense there was a uniqueness to it. But I think it was also a moment in which, for me certainly, there was a heightened sense of loss - a sense of my own sadness that Benedict is no longer with us in person. At the same time the ceremony was an unshakable expression of faith and trust in the promises of Jesus. So we had both sadness and hope, we had the grief of loss and the certainty of faith. "There were some words used in one of the prayers that appealed to me, particularly, and it was an appeal to Mary Salus Populi Romani, that she would intercede that Benedict would now see the face of Jesus and that we would be comforted on our pilgrim way. "Those words touched me because I reflected on how much Benedict, his life and his spirituality, was focused on a relationship with Jesus. Those books that he wrote about Jesus of Nazareth in some ways summed up not only his learning but also his spirituality and his prayer. "The other day, Archbishop Gänswein, who knows him better than anybody did, was saying that it was that image of Jesus always accompanying the Church, always being with the Church, that was the most radically fundamental thing in Pope Benedict's life. "And I was thinking of the time when I was in St Peter Square when he gave his last homily as serving Pope before he left for Castel Gandolfo. In that homily, he used the image of Jesus asleep in the back of the boat when the storm came on the Sea of Galilee and the disciples were frightened." Archbishop Gänswein repeated that and gave a little gloss on it. He said, "Benedict used to say, 'but now Jesus never sleeps and he's always with us'." So during the Mass I was thinking about those things and, quite simply, how lovable Benedict was and therefore thanking God for the gifts that He gave us through him. Cardinal Vincent Nichols Vatican, 5 January 2023

Homily from Fr. Joseph Matlak on September 23, 2022
Synopsis If you've ever witnessed a spectacular display of the Northern Lights, you'll know the feeling: jaw-dropping wonder at the powerful forces unleashed in the vast spaces of the night sky. The American composer Henry Brant experienced something like that in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1982 during a visit, and later translated the experience into his “Northern Lights over the Twin Cities,” a work commissioned by Macalester College in St. Paul to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 1985. Like most of Brant's works, this piece employs several distinct groups of performers separated by space, a technique called “spatial” composition. For his Macalester Centenary commission, Brant utilized all the musical ensembles the College had to offer, including its chorus and orchestra, its wind, marching, and jazz bands, and even its bagpipe ensemble, all positioned at various points around the College's cavernous Field House. Brant said his own “spatial” works were inspired by the antiphonal works of the Renaissance composer Giovanni Gabrieli, the multiple brass ensembles in the “Requiem Mass” by the French Romantic composer Hector Berlioz, but above all by “The Unanswered Question,” by the modern American composer Charles Ives. Brant was born on today's date in 1913. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2002, and died at the age of 94, in 2008.

Synopsis Following the death of a loved one, the American poet Barbara Crooker wrote, “How can we go on/knowing the end of the story?” The American composer Dale Trumbore attempted to answer that question with her haunting choral work entitled “How to Go On,” given its premiere performance on today's date in 2016 in Anaheim, California by the Choral Arts Initiative. Rather than setting the traditional Latin text of the Requiem Mass like Verdi, or passages from the Bible like Brahms, Trumbore crafted a kind of “secular requiem,” choosing texts by Crooker and two other contemporary American poets addressing fundamental questions of life, love, and loss. “I have moments of utter panic about my own mortality,” confessed Trumbore, “and I know many other people do as well, although we may not openly discuss or address our fears about death. Taken together, the seven poems of ‘How to Go On' recognize these fears while also cultivating a feeling of everything ultimately being at peace. Hopefully the music adds to that visceral feeling of reassurance. “ New Jersey native Dale Trumbore studied with the great choral composer Morten Lauridsen at the University of Southern California and her own vocal works are noted for what The New York Times described as her “soaring melodies and beguiling harmonies.” Music Played in Today's Program Dale Trumbore (b. 1987) – How to Go On (Choral Arts Initiative; Brandon Elliott, cond.)
