In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with virtuoso guitarist Angel Vivaldi to explore the intersection of artistry, authenticity, and perseverance. Angel shares insights from his recent tour with legendary guitarist Steve Morse, discusses his creative process behind concept albums like "Synapse," and reveals how he balances being 65% artist and 35% business. The conversation dives deep into topics ranging from working with difficult people and learning from enemies, to the role of AI in music, the importance of vulnerability, and why the only thing worse than living with regret is dying with it. This is a masterclass in commitment, creativity, and staying true to yourself in an industry that constantly demands compromise. Episode Highlights [2:14] Learning from Steve Morse's Humility and Reinvention - Angel describes touring with guitar legend Steve Morse and witnessing him reinvent his playing technique due to arthritis. Despite being one of the greatest guitarists alive, Morse remained humble enough to learn legato and tapping techniques from Angel, demonstrating that true mastery includes the willingness to continuously evolve. [20:59] The Muse and Discipline: Speaking Her Language - Angel shares his philosophy on creativity and the muse: "She has a lot of people to visit and she's gonna favor those who know how to speak her language. What is her language? Music." He explains why showing up consistently to practice—even without inspiration—is essential, because you're refining how you speak music so the muse can work through you. [39:44] The Synapse Album: Painting Studios and Neurotransmitters - Angel reveals the extreme creative process behind his concept album "Synapse," where each song represents a different neurotransmitter. He painted his studio a different color for each song (red for adrenaline, green for serotonin), changed scents, and even wrote at specific times of day to embody each neurochemical state—a process that nearly broke him but resulted in some of his most authentic work. [82:13] Learning from Your Enemies: Unfiltered Feedback - Angel offers a provocative perspective: "Your enemies have no stake in you liking them or them liking you. If you want unfiltered, uncensored, direct feedback on your flaws as a human being, look to your enemies." He explains how to parse criticism from adversaries to find genuine insights while filtering out projection and insecurity. Angel Vivaldi is an American virtuoso guitarist, songwriter, and producer who has been pushing the boundaries of instrumental guitar music since beginning his solo career in 2003. Self-taught from age 15, Angel has released multiple concept albums including "Universal Language," "Away With Words Parts 1 & 2," and "Synapse," each showcasing his unique blend of progressive metal, fusion, and melodic sensibility. Beyond his solo work, Angel is a multifaceted creative force—he's a cinematographer, fashion enthusiast, interior designer, and entrepreneur who founded Zenith Council, an artist services company helping musicians with branding, marketing, and creative vision. Recently, he toured as a guest guitarist with legendary Steve Morse, managing Morse's career while contributing rhythm guitar and content creation. Angel's approach to music and life embodies his belief that authenticity and vulnerability are the keys to creating art that truly resonates.

Todo el mundo a sus pupitres y con las orejas bien abiertas porque hoy hemos llenado el programa de profes.

El énfasis contemporáneo en el autocuidado aspira a conducirnos hacia una versión más elevada de nosotros mismos. Sin embargo, Lykke Li prefiere explorar el reverso: ese yo inferior dominado por las bajas pasiones, la venganza, la vergüenza y la desesperación. Será el núcleo de 'The Afterparty', el nuevo disco de la sueca que verá la luz el 8 de mayo. Lo está presentando con 'Lucky Again', una canción que reflexiona sobre la rueda de la vida —ganar y perder, vivir y morir— y que incorpora un sample de 'Las Cuatro Estaciones' de Vivaldi en la relectura contemporánea de Max Richter. Además, Sara García Alonso se asoma a nuestro cuestionario cultural en FAQ!Y analizamos el anuncio del Gobierno de prohibir las redes sociales a menores de 16 años.

Na bijna twee jaar stilstand heeft het Brusselse gewest ein-de-lijk een nieuwe regering. Dinsdagmiddag startte, op initiatief van MR-voorzitter Georges-Louis Bouchez, een conclaaf. Donderdagavond was er witte rook: een deal tussen zeven partijen (zonder de N-VA), die onder meer mikt op een begrotingsevenwicht in 2029. ­ 613 dagen lang lukte het niet, nu wel. Het lijkt een donderslag bij heldere hemel, al zagen enkele visionairen in de Wetstraat al iets aankomen “want er moeten nu eenmaal wat excellenties gaan skiën in de Krokusvakantie”... Je kunt er cynisch over doen, maar feit is: er is een akkoord over een nieuwe Brusselse regering, mét een meerderheid in elke taalgroep. Moeten we juichen of is het daarvoor al lang te laat? Bij de zeven partijen (MR, PS, Les Engagés, Groen, Vooruit, Anders en CD&V) overheerst opluchting, en zelfs een zekere trots. ­ "Dit is een ambitieus akkoord, ondanks de moeilijke politieke context", zo zei MR-voorzitter Georges-Louis Bouchez donderdagavond op de trappen van de Universitaire Stichting, waar hij finaal erin slaagde om een Brusselse regering op te tuigen. Hij is ontegensprekelijk één van de “winnaars” van deze formatie. ­ Wetstraatjournalist Jeroen Struys merkt op dat deze coalitie eigenlijk al in de zomer van 2024 (!) in de steigers stond, of liever: had kunnen staan. Toen was het CD&V dat het zaakje niet zag zitten. Vandaag blijft CD&V achter zónder ministerpost, al kan de partij wel uitpakken met een paar trofeeën - net als de zes anderen. De vraag is natuurlijk wat de regering écht gedaan krijgt de komende drie jaar. Er ligt meer werk op de plank dan ooit, en er is minder geld dan ooit. Toch gaat de regering – die voorlopig nog de gerecycleerde bijnaam Vivaldi torst – resoluut voor een begroting in evenwicht in 2029. Dat was en is een eis van Anders, die werd ingewilligd in ruil voor het lossen van de N-VA. ­ CREDITS ­ Journalist Jeroen Struys | Presentatie Marjan Justaert | (Eind)redactie Gijs op ‘t Roodt, Marjan Justaert | Audioproductie Joris Van Damme | Muziek Brecht Plasschaert | Chef podcast Alexander LippeveldSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stefán Péter zeneszerző, producerrel a zenetörténeti szenzációról beszélgetünk. A Zeneakadémia Nagytermében ugyanis világszinten egyedülálló mű szólalt meg: „A magyar és a kínai négy évszak” című koncert, ahol két nemzet zeneszerzői, Stefán Péter és Wen Ziyang művei találkoznak először egy színpadon. A magyar és a kínai évszakok ciklusai párbeszédbe lépnek egymással, hidat képezve kultúrák és hagyományok között, háromszáz évvel Vivaldi klasszikusa és százötven évvel Csajkovszkij zongoraciklusa után.Stefán Péter új kompozíciója, „A magyar négy évszak” a Kárpát-medence dallamvilágát idézi meg, népzenei forrásokból merítve, Pozsonytól Máramarosig. A mű egyszerre vallomás és hitvallás: a természethez, a szabadsághoz és a magyar lélekhez való visszatérés zenéje. Wen Ziyang „A kínai négy évszak” című ciklusa pedig a kínai holdnaptár költői világát idézi meg, Belső-Mongóliától Tibetig, tizenkét tételben.A koncerten közreműködik Kovács Gergely zongoraművész, valamint Lu Siqing hegedűművész és az Egyesült Kínai–Magyar Kamarazenekar, amely a Major Beijing Orchestra és a Bartók Béla Kamaraegyüttes együttműködésével jött létre. A két mű közös estje nemcsak zenei, hanem kulturális esemény: párbeszéd a dallamok nyelvén, Kelet és Nyugat között, a természet és az ember örök kapcsolódásáról.A Sláger FM-en minden este 22 órakor a kultúráé a főszerep S.

M7 JESU, JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING, JS BACH, 1723, BWV 147 (2:56) M8 CHORALE PRELUDE “WACHET AUF”, JS BACH, 1731, BWV 140 (3:37) PROGRAM NOTES Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and organist from the late Baroque period. He was born in Eisenach, in what is now central Germany. Bach lived from 1685 to 1750, The Baroque period was a 150-year period in music, dating from 1600 to 1750. Baroque music is Western Classical Music that followed the Renaissance period. Baroque music features drama, ornamentation, major and minor tones, and was presented in new ways – – like the Opera, Concerto, and Sonata, Baroque composers included BACH, HANDEL, VIVALDI. M9 AIR ON A G-STRING, JS BACH, 1730, BWV 1068 (2:27). Bach probably used the CLAVICHORD to compose most of his music. The Clavichord is small, lightweight and would not disturb people. The clavichord was very temperamental, because it required tuning before each play, just like a violin or guitar.  The keyboard instruments of the day were referred to as a general category: the “KLAVIER”….these included HARPSICHORD, CLAVICHORD, ORGAN and PIANOFORTE. Bach's favorite KLAVIER instrument was the LAUTENWERK or LUTE HARPSICHORD with animal gut strings.  The writing of music was in support of GOD and KINGS. Over time, Baroque Music evolved into what is today known as the modern Orchestra. Bach was a prolific composer, writing hundreds of pieces for solo instruments, particularly the organ. He also wrote pieces for orchestra and choir. Bach is MOST known for writing two or more  melodies or voices against each other. Also called point against point, or, Counterpoint. Bit Bucket A BWV catalog number is a unique identifier for musical works composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, standing for Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (Bach Works Catalogue).  Today I will present 9 compositions, dating from 1710 to 1731, during the time Bach was about age 25 to 45. M1 TOCCATA & FUGUE in C MAJOR M.2 ADAGIO, 1710-1717, BWV 564 (4:20) Our first piece — TOCATA & FUGUE in C MAJOR , the 2nd movement (ADAGIO). an ORGAN COMPOSITION.     It is taken from a 1959 album of BACH ORGAN WORKS   . The movement is called ADAGIO ….which indicates “At Ease”, or “Slow and Stately”. Tempo is only 66-76 BPM. like the resting heart rate for many people. Great liner notes. HERE IS AN  excerpt from the liner notes on that album – – QUOTE “OUR BACH” said the obituary notice, “was the greatest organ and clavier player that ever lived”. Though it may seem strange to us now, Bach's genius during his life was recognized only as a master of the organ—not as a composer. It was actually over a hundred years after his death that his works revealed him as a unique and mighty composer. His reputation as an organist brought many invitations to test new organs and advise on the construction of them.  UNQUOTE As with most of his organ works , there is no autograph or manuscript score from Bach, his organ work manuscript copies are lost.  This song has a CONCERTO style and rhythm.  We will hear the 2nd or ADAGIO movement. . It is all very calm and beautiful and pastoral and serene…until Bach pulls out all the stops in the last minute of this ADAGIO movement. He is really rocking the walls and windows of that church. Without any further adieu, here is TOCATA & FUGUE in C MAJOR , the 2nd movement (ADAGIO). PLAY M2 SHOW PLUG – DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL ! That was…M2 MUSICAL CREDIT: This Bach organ work  was recorded on the Luneburg Organ at St. Johanniskirche, in the town of Luneburg, in northern Germany, the organist is Professor Michael Schneider. This LP was produced and released on the SOMERSET label here in the US in 1959 The album title is BACH The Majesty of the Luneburger Organ. M2 NUN KOMM DER HEIDEN HEILAND, JS BACH, 1714, BWV 61 (5:21) Our next piece is the most famous church cantata written in 1714 for THE FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT. NUN KOMM DER HEIDEN HEILAND or in English “NOW COME, SAVIOR OF THE HEATHANS” A HEATHAN is a person with no religion, i.e., a PAGAN. In this chorale, Jesus is asked to …  come and save the pagans.  In 1714, Bach would have been 29 years of age. It turns out that this song goes back almost two centuries before BACH's time.  It's based on a LUTERAN CHORALE with words written by Martin Luther for the 1523 first Advent Sunday.  For centuries, this was the first hymn for the first Sunday of ADVENT.  What I will play next is an arrangement for as modern symphony orchestra (the Philadelphia Orchestra) and it is definitely JS BACH heard in those phrases. But it is a large orchestra – – Conducted by Leopold Stokowski.  This is an extremely restrained, demure, and understated interpretation of a Bach piece the most restrained I have ever heard. The recording you will hear next is performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra, with conductor   Leopold Stokowski. This recording is on a Vinyl LP titled THE SOUND OF GENIUS, produced by COLUMBIA MASTERWORKS, in 1960. It was one of many records that were shipped by mail to members of the Columbia Record Club. My parents were enthusiastic members. A new disc would arrive in the mail every month, such as this LP of classical music. Without further delay here is NOW COME, SAVIOR OF THE HEATHANS PLAY M1 SHOW PLUG – SHOW PLUG – DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL ! !

Album: The Sound of Genius Limited Edition LP (1960) Members Only ! Label: Columbia Master Works BIT BUCKET This piece also is based on a song listed in the ZAHN Lutheran chorales catalog. ZAHN 1174 M3 TWO-PART INVENTION in F MAJOR, JS BACH, 1720-1723 (0:40) The next three pieces are called TWO PART INVENTIONS, composed by JS Bach around 1720   The inventions were composed for use in instruction of Bach's oldest son WILHELM FRIEDEMANN BACH who was 12 years old. Today, these inventions are introduced to music students in school grades 4-7. Learning the Two-Part Invention requires ROTE learning, practicing over and over until the two hands work completely independently of one another. The inventions teach, among other things, the use of COUNTERPOINT. Bach is MOST known for writing two melodies against each other. Also called point against point, or, Counterpoint. That is the feature of these inventions, in each one there are TWO PARTS, left and right hand parts. COUNTERPOINT is found mostly in Bach's FUGUES and in his INVENTIONS. Perhaps a brief demonstration is in order. Here is an excerpt from one of Bach's inventions. FIRST the right-hand part or first point – the melody SECOND the left-hand part or second point – the bass line LAST both parts played in counterpoint. In some of Bach works, the roles reverse, The left hand plays the first point – the melody And the right hand plays the second point – the bass line Could you do this by crossing hands on the keyboard – yes, but, the roles are reversed, so no cross-hand playing. I will now play  WENDY CARLOS's rendition of three BACH TWO-PART INVENTIONS from her 1969 recording titled “SWITCHED ON BACH” .. I will play all three, back-to-back.

Not just a key change like the work title would suggest ! Bach stated that he wrote his inventions “to be models of composition” in other words, to enable the student to form ways of developing musical ideas and “acquire a strong taste of composition” Bach wrote the inventions, one for of the notes A to G and one for each minor and major key. Today these inventions are over 300 years old !

He was 37. The title page to the Well-tempered Clavier song book reads : “The well-tempered Clavier, or Preludes and Fugues, through all the tones and semitones, both the [major] and [minor]. For the profit and use of the studious musical young…” Bach wrote these preludes and fugues in all keys in the chromatic scale … 12 major and 12 minor keys I have the version in D MAJOR. It's two sections – the prelude, and the fugue The Prelude is the introduction. LISTEN FOR the Stride Piano on the left hand !! It's a short 1:10. The Fugue is the second section.

This was written for the Christian Feast of the Visitation- celebrated at the end of May in Western Christianity. The song is a Lutheran hymn. … a CANTATA and it has a CHORALE or chorus piece repeated twice within this cantata. There are many arrangements and versions because this song is one of Bach's most beautiful, well-known, and popular.

This hymn was transcribed from a Lutheran hymn written in 1599 by written by Phillippe Nicolai. This Cantata is truly a work from the middle ages. In 1731, Bach took this hymn and created a 7-movement cantata, we will hear the first movement or PRELUDE”.  This cantata is sung in church on the Trinity Sunday. Today this piece is very popular piece in general…it is POPULAR CLASSICAL MUSIC.    J.S. Bach wrote 46 of these cantatas for church, in all.

This title comes from Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major,  written almost 300 years ago.   So what is the meaning of the song title Air on a G-String? Well, Bach composed this as an orchestral suite in 1730. 141 years later, August Wilhelm arranged the second movement for SOLO VIOLIN and he did something unique. He transposed the song down from D so that the entire piece could be played on one string of the violin, the G-String, which is the lowest register on that instrument. Here is an example of what this sounds like on the Violin G-String, thjs example with piano accompaniment—pardon the scratchy sound, is from an old 78 RPM disc in 1935. Play example  – Jacques Dumont (Violin) Bach Air On The G String with Andre Collard (piano) We went from Bach's orchestral piece, to Wilhelm's transcription for solo violin, to Wendy Carlos modern interpretation with her MOOG Synthesizer.

‘Nun the Wiser' is an irreverent new musical from the mind of Kat Carson. It is a satirical look at an imagined past where Italian nuns sing gospel music and dream of fame. It focusses on the lives of seven musical nuns. On the surface, they appear devout and ordinary, but beneath that exterior lies a world of interpersonal relationships, conflicts, love, and repressed emotion. Within the convent, the only permitted form of artistic expression is composing and performing religious music.Their lives are thrown into turmoil when the famous composer Antonio Vivaldi comes to hear their compositions. As a man, he has the power to change their lives and introduce their music to the outside world. The nuns ask Mr. Vivaldi to review their own works, but what will he make of their explicit writings about love and desire?Drawing on her extensive work on the music of the 17th and 18th centuries, and on her experiences in an all female education system, Kat has used the genre of musical theatre to examine LGBTQIA issues and to draw a picture of womanhood that is both funny and challenging. The nuns in the story are people first and foremost, and have their own dreams, lives, and troubles. The musical explores issues of sexual identity, living within a patriarchal society, and a love of music through the absurd lens of nuns in an 18th century convent.Website

There's no more familiar piece of classical music than Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. But for all the recordings and broadcasts and interpretations of it that there has been over the past three centuries, there is still some mystery about the music. Why did Vivaldi write it? What were his inspirations? Where and when did The Four Seasons burst into life. The broadcaster and author Dr Hannah French has written a wonderful, incisive book called The Rolling Year that examines questions like this. In this special episode Peter and the violinist Min Kym sat down with Hannah to find out more about Vivaldi, his music, Mantua and Manchester. Enjoy the music. We'll be returning to the Travels Through Time format very soon! Show notes People/Social Interviewers: Peter Moore and Min Kym Guest: Dr Hannah French Production: Maria Nolan Music: John Harrison, The Four Seasons

Comments/ideas: asiaclimatefinpod@outlook.comHost Joseph Jacobelli welcomes Mike Thomas, leading energy economist and founder of The Lantau Group (TLG), for their annual review and 2026 outlook. Mike argues that we have reached a historic tipping point where solar-plus-battery hybrids are now cost-competitive with traditional gas and coal, often without requiring a premium for base-load-style power.The conversation dives deep into the "strategic pivot" in China that has led to a global battery fire sale, the surge in data centre demand in hubs like Johor, and the counter-intuitive risks posed by government-run green energy auctions. Mike also highlights why Malaysia is currently the region's most "ready" market and explores the legal and regulatory "software bugs", such as "intertemporal equity", that must be fixed to allow the physical energy transition to keep pace with technological reality.LINKS: Research From TLG.ABOUT MIKE: Founding partner at The Lantau Group with over 30 years of consulting experience, focussing on the energy sector. He advises a wide range of energy sector stakeholders on strategic, regulatory, and competition matters; sustainability; market design and development; and commercial transactions.  Prior to co-founding in 2010, he headed the Asia Pacific Energy & Environment practice of a global consulting firm. Mike has an MPP from Harvard Kennedy School, and a BA in Economics from Carleton College. Within the Asia Pacific region, he has led many significant engagements involving the robust application of economics and analytics to a wide variety of business, policy, and regulatory challenges affecting the electricity and gas sectors. He works extensively with multinationals on sustainability strategies, focussing on the best options in different markets, and on the regulatory and policy changes needed to support increasing renewable energy contracting options.HOST, PRODUCTION, ARTWORK: Joseph Jacobelli | MUSIC: Ep76 onward excerpts from Vivaldi's La Follia, played by Luca Jacobelli.

It's Christmas week, and for me, this is a week to finally settle into the holiday mood. This is the time we decorate our tree, get in touch with friends and family, and start reveling in the spirit of joy and peace that feels so elusive other times of the year. So this is not the week I want to dive into a heavy teaching topic here on the podcast. What I want to do today is spread a little holiday harp happiness with a short musical program for you to enjoy.  The theme of the program is "Classics for a Relaxing Holiday," classical music that is appropriate for the holidays, but isn't specific to this time of year. In other words, no jingling bells or Santa Claus songs - just calm, perhaps even meditative harp music, assembled from my various recordings and videos.  I've listed the program in the show notes, and for some of the pieces, you'll also find links to sheet music arrangements in our Harp Mastery® shop. I've also included spoken introductions to each piece to give you a little of the background to the piece or what I love about it. But I realize you might want to make this music part of the background to your holidays without the narration, so in the show notes I have put links to alternate ways to download or listen to the music. One is a bonus podcast episode that has only the music, without the speaking. The other is a link to the music on YouTube where I've added some harp photographs that I have taken on my recent travels.

Many radio stations and apps offer the chance to ‘relax and unwind' with peace-inducing music and sounds – and such things definitely have their place, including within the Ruach Breath of Life Ministries. But many situations require us to ‘vent' and cry out to the Lord for His power to break through. And for that, what we want are not smooth and soothing pieces, but those that are decidedly sharp and ‘spiky'! When we invited our dear musician friends to record the opening movement of Vivaldi's ‘Winter' concerto from the Four Seasons, it was because we sensed that this is a piece that will help us respond to circumstances that rouse the godly passion and righteous anger within us. Sometimes, it is necessary to cry out for the ‘storm of the LORD' to come swirling in, and His anger to ‘fully accomplish the purposes of His heart,' as the Lord declares through Jeremiah. (Jer. 23:19-20) How would the Lord have you pray for the situations and injustices you are aware of? May this music help you find ways to give voice to these things – and may the God of breakthrough come as you do so! Many thanks to Susanne Herzog, Shirley Richards Anne Seidler, Gabriele Kröhnert, Peter Richards and Alexander Koderich for this wonderful recording. https://on.soundcloud.com/Un1bFkNXJGN483tbU5

'The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.' (Jn. 1:5) In the opening movement of Vivaldi's powerful Winter concerto* we hear the sharp and strident sounds of a storm, prompting us to cry out to the Lord both for protection and for His justice to prevail in many challenging situations. This second movement offers a different perspective of winter. A lovely and lyrical violin sings over busy pizzicato (plucked) strings. Winter brings more than its share of icy storms and other hazards, but it also brings scenes of astonishingly beautiful crystalline transparency. May the Lord shed the light of His clarity and presence on many who find themselves either in the midst of a storm, or bowed down in unrelenting dreariness. 'As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.' (Is. 55:10-11)

Okay, I confess that the title of this week's episode is intentionally misleading, but if I told you what it actually was outright, you might not listen, and that would be a great loss! On Monday I celebrated Larry Kert for World AIDS Day, and today, I have made a selection of musical settings of the Marian Antiphon Salve Regina, which translated means, “Hail, Queen,” so there you have the inspiration for the episode. In fact, this is an episode chock-full of particularly glorious singing, and I don't think you'll regret spending the time with these glorious Queens of Song (with a few Kings tossed in)! The 11th-century Salve Regina text, far from being dry and dull, provided inspiration for a wide range of composers, primarily of the Baroque (Handel, Vivaldi, Hasse, the Scarlattis, Monteverdi, and a number of others), but also of later vintage (Mozart, Johann Christian Bach, Schubert, and even Puccini). The singers who perform these works are a Who's Who of Countermelody favorites (Helen Donath, Rachel Yakar, Margaret Marshall, Francisco Araiza, Elly Ameling, and Roberta Alexander) and new friends, including three countertenors (Gérard Lesne, John Angelo Messana, and Jochen Kowalski) who provided inspiration to me as a young singer. Dive right in to this episode, my friends, and never fear: would I steer you wrong? Never! The episode begins with a tribute to Madeline Kahn, who died 26 years ago this week. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists.

Can music help us notice nature more deeply? In this episode, Dr Leah Broad speaks to broadcaster and author Dr Hannah French about the enduring influence and legacy of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. This year is the 300th anniversary of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. It's therefore the perfect occasion for Dr Hannah French to explore the seasons as Vivaldi would have experienced them. Whether it's the song of local birds or an impending storm, Vivaldi's Four Seasons intimate relationship with nature remains a source of inspiration for many musicians, authors and artists. Once an academic and baroque flautist, Dr Hannah French now presents BBC Radio 3's Early Music Show, Saturday Breakfast Show, and live concerts including the BBC Proms. Her first book was Sir Henry Wood Champion of J.S. Bach. Her latest book is The Rolling Year: Listening to the Seasons with Vivaldi. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.
