Main: La Musique Française

Bonjour, toute le monde: today is Bastille Day – and to celebrate, we present a programme of French classical music.

Bastille Day is the French National Day, celebrated on 14 July every year. In France, it is formally called La Fête Nationale (The National Celebration) and commonly le quatorze juillet (the fourteenth of July). It commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789.

The anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress-prison was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern nation. Festivities and official ceremonies are held all over France.

Main: From the Library: Music for Shakespeare

Today's programme features a wide range of music, but around one common theme: the plays of William Shakespeare were the inspiration. The works you'll hear today range from classical – for example Tchaikovsky's fantasy overtures for Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet and The Tempest – to the modern: Gryphon's Midnight Mushrumps, also composed for The Tempest but this time by Richard Harvey for Peter Hall's 1973 National Theatre Company production; and a great deal more, such as Alfred Reed's evocative Shakespearian pieces for wind band. We'll also hear a selection of period pieces from Philip Pickett and the Musicians of the Globe - the marvellous recreation of the Globe Theatre in London.

Then please join us at 11am and 7pm Pacific Time (19:00 and 03:00 in the UK) for the latest instalments in our exciting radio adventures - the final episode, Episode 12, of Return to Inverness and the penultimate week of Ruby 6: The Illusionati in The ZBS Radio Hour.
