And Andy explains why there's no TT for him this year....... The Royal School of Church Music - which supports and encourages choirs of all ages and sizes, has commissioned a new anthem in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. It's called IN OUR SERVICE and the composer is Thomas Hewitt Jones who joins us to explain how he was inspired to use the Queen's own words for the lyrics of the piece, and how he hopes that the anthem will develop a life of its own, and continue to be sung and enjoyed in years to come. The Royal School of Church music has invited as many choirs as possible to sing the anthem at some point on or around the Jubilee weekend, and register their intention to do so, on line. This has enabled the RSCM to create a 'musical map' that extends around the Commonwealth - and includes the Isle of Man, thanks to King William's College and The Buchan School who came together to perform and record their singing of IN OUR SERVICE This is YOUR chance to hear it, in full, in today's programme!

In 1791 a masked figure knocked at Mozart’s door. He wanted to commission a piece from the great composer – a mass for the dead. There was one condition, Mozart could never know who his client was. Mozart agreed and started work on the piece. But he soon became ill – had he been poisoned? Mozart began to fear he was writing the music for his own funeral. He died before he could finish the piece. Who was the mysterious stranger? And what’s the real story behind Mozart’s Requiem?   Original music was written by Thomas Hewitt Jones (@thewittjones).

In 1893 the composer Tchaikovsky breathed his last. He had become a celebrity in his native Russia and been showered with honours. But Tchaikovsky had a secret. He was gay. And in Russia at the time that was illegal. Attempts by authorities and historians to cover this up have meant that Tchaikovsky’s life and death became shrouded with mystery.

In the early 20th century a craze for the occult swept the country. It was the era of Aleister Crowley and a new-found fascination with black magic. And no-one embraced this world more fully than Philip Heseltine. This hard-living, heavy-drinking composer delved into the art of black magic, experimented with spells and even changed his name to ‘Peter Warlock’. In 1930 he died suddenly, at the age of just 36. Had he been interfering with forces beyond his control? This episode tackles subjects that some listeners might find upsetting. Original music was written by Thomas Hewitt Jones (@thewittjones).
