Penny Gore presents music used for theatrical purposes. Debussy: Le martyre de St Sebastien. Copland: Quiet City. Zeisl: Requiem Ebraico. Leroy Anderson: Goldilocks (excerpts).

Each day this week Penny Gore presents music used for a variety of theatrical purposes, including pieces with a religious theme. Debussy composed the incidental music for a modern mystery play about St Sebastian in 1911 even though he was more mystical than religious. Goldilocks - by extreme contrast - was Leroy Anderson's first attempt at a Broadway musical.
