A Wireless Revelation.
Radiophonic version of the text in the Book of Revelations - from mysterious beginning to epic end - in a communal reading from a number of translations. Decorating and illuminating the sacred text, as it unfolds, is an array of music - including iconic fragments from Handel's Messiah and Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time.

The Glass Piano.
Writer and poet Deborah Levy considers the true story of Princess Alexandra Amelie of Bavaria, who at the age of 23 was observed walking sideways in an awkward way down the corridors of her family palace. When questioned by her worried royal parents, she announced that she had swallowed a grand piano made out of glass. The piece is composed of the princess's dialogue as she walks through the palace and the conversations Levy has to find out what is wrong with her. With contributions from psychoanalyst Susie Orbach, historian Erin Sullivan and consultant in emergency medicine Dr Fiona Lecky. The music is composed and arranged by Chris O'Shaughnessy, and the princess is played by Emily Watson.

Tennyson in Skegness.
Simon Poole explores the little-known connection between Tennyson, one of our greatest poets, and the brash and brassy seaside town of Skegness in Lincolnshire. Tennyson spent much time on the coast there, with its landscape providing a good source of inspiration. The programme combines the sounds of Skegness with the voices of local readers interpreting a range of Tennyson's works and features excerpts from Charge Of The Light Brigade, Maud, The Miller's Daughter and Break, Break, Break.

A Season in Hell.
An abridged radio reworking of Rimbaud's intense masterpiece of spiritual disillusionment, narrated by Carl Prekopp with a specially-commissioned soundscape by Bristol composer Elizabeth Purnell and poems sung by Robert Wyatt. The soundtrack for the work includes composed music, field recordings and processed sound in a raw response to the words; she set the poems specifically for Wyatt, whose voice in its high, delicate register suggests a beyond-the-grave alter-ego to the young Rimbaud. Contains language that might cause offence.
