In September of 1957, the BBC aired an experiment designed by writer and broadcaster Hans Keller. He had composed interludes that wove between the movements of a Mozart string quartet and were meant to express something about that music without leaning on language for explanation. This podcast examines Keller’s approach to communicating about music through music and important questions about instrumental music and its role in our lives that are raised by listening to his wordless analyses.

This is a collection of essays, verbal sketches, and stories by Washington Irving. Irving lived at the Alhambra Palace while writing some of the material for his book. In 1828, Washington Irving traveled from Madrid, where he had been staying, to Granada, Spain. At first sight, he described it as "a most picturesque and beautiful city, situated in one of the loveliest landscapes that I have ever seen." He immediately asked the then-governor of the historic Alhambra Palace as well as the archbishop of Granada for access to the palace, which was granted because of Irving's celebrity status. Aided by a 35-year old guide named Mateo Ximenes, Irving was inspired by his experience to write Tales of the Alhambra. Throughout his trip, he filled his notebooks and journals with descriptions and observations though he did not believe his writing would ever do it justice. He wrote, "How unworthy is my scribbling of the place." A commemorative plaque in Spanish at the Alhambra reads, "Washington Irving wrote his Tales of Alhambra in these rooms in 1829". The book was instrumental in reintroducing the Alhambra to Western audiences. (Summary by Wikipedia and David Wales)

Lincoln's first inaugural address was delivered on March 4th, 1861, as the North and South were sliding towards separation and Civil War. His second inaugural, given just weeks before his assassination, was also delivered on March 4th but four years later, in 1865. Just over a month later, April 18th, 1865, the Civil War ended with the surrender of the Confederate army. This was four days after Lincoln was shot on April 14th. He died the next day. - Summary by John Greenman

The Oresteia is a trilogy by Aeschylus, one of the foremost playwrights of ancient Greece. It encompasses three plays: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, and The Furies. It tells the tragic tale of the House of Atreus, whose inhabitants have been cursed and are doomed to play out their bloody, vengeful destinies. At the beginning of the first part, the Trojan War has ended and the Greek general, Agamemnon, is returning victorious to his wife Clytemnestra. Yet she finds it difficult to forgive his sacrifice of their daughter, Iphigenia, who was killed to ensure the Greek fleet fair winds in their voyage to Troy. Her desire for vengeance, and its dire consequences, instigates the action of these poetic tragedies. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

10 þátta röð fyrir Rás 1 í umsjón Þorgerðar E. Sigurðardóttur og Halldórs Guðmundssonar.
Ísland og Kaupmannahöfn í spegli bókmenntanna: Í þáttunum verða þessi aldalöngu tengsl skoðuð frá mörgum sjónarhornum. Kaupmannahöfn var í næstum 500 ár eins konar höfuðborg Íslands, aðsetur stjórnsýslunnar, æðsta dómstólsins og konungsins. Sumir Íslendingar hröktust þangað eða voru fluttir til borgarinnar nauðugir, aðrir leituðu þar frelsis og réttinda sem þeir nutu ekki heima. Hvernig kom borgin þeim fyrir sjónir, hvernig breytti hún viðhorfum þeirra eða umturnaði lífshlaupinu? Óvíða sést þetta betur en í bókum Íslendinganna sjálfra og hér verður leitað fanga í þeim og rætt við rithöfunda og ýmsa sérfræðinga, auk þess sem heyra má áhugaverð brot úr safni RÚV í bland við ýmiss konar tónlist. Til verður mynd sem er stundum fögur, stundum óhugnanleg en alltaf forvitnileg.
