Musical Voyage through Space

Hannah Peel takes us on an adventurous night-time journey through space, with an immersive soundtrack of music by Public Service Broadcasting, Dvorak, Laurie Spiegel and others.

Hannah Peel takes us on an adventurous night-time journey through the universe in the first of three programmes exploring music for Outer Space and the outer reaches of our minds and imaginations. The solar system has inspired composers from Holst to Brian Eno, Laurie Spiegel, Luening and Dutilleux. Hannah's musical exploration of our universe is accompanied by the sounds of deep space from Jodrell Bank and Nasa, including black holes, meteors and pulsars.
On Tuesday's programme, Hannah focuses on pioneering women with extracts from a personal interview with Dame Jocelyn Bell-Burnell, who discovered pulsars and the music of Delia Derbyshire.
In Wednesday's programme, Hannah ventures further into space and our outer minds, with Tomita's take on Ives's The Unanswered Question and Laurie Spiegel's The Unquestioned Answer.
