Re: [nilesfunnies] Radio 4 Announcements


What if other networks did emergency broadcasts for people away from home?

Radio 3, perhaps?

And, after Palestrina's exquisite setting of Regina Coeli, we turn to a
more Earthly lady.

In 1778 the the 22-year-old Mozart arrived in Paris, during a tour of Europe
which followed a bitter falling out with the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg,
and it was in Paris that his mother died. This gave rise to some of his
darkest and most introspective chamber music.

Well, some darkly introspective composition may shortly be occupying Mr R.G.
Bargey, whom we understand to be making a brief sojourn in Lincolnshire -
birthplace, of course, of the great 16th Century composer, John Taverner.
We hope that you have not fallen out with any Prince-Archbishops, Mr.
Bargey, but the remainder of the inspiration seems to be imminent, and
perhaps you might be kind enough to telephone Hammersmith Hospital in
London.....
