[Repeated from Monday 5.30pm.] On this special festive instalment of Hot Club du Monde, we travel from the gilded elegance of 1900s Buenons Aries to the art deco splendour of 1930s New York on a musical journey that weaves in and out of the decades presenting vivid sketches of klezmer orchestras, gospel quartets and a host of artists both well-known and obscure purveying stomps, two-steps breakdowns, and the early flutterings of proto-jazz. Featuring music by Arthur Pryor, Harry Kandal, Guido Derio, Bob Skyles and his Skyrockets, Artie Shaw and the Lecuona Cuban Boys. Presented by Oliver Carter-Wakefield.

Jubiliate Agno
'Jubilate Agno' is a long poem - a vast hymn of praise, glorifying God and his creation - by Christopher Smart. It was written between 1758 and 1763, during which time Smart was incarcerated in Mr Potter’s private madhouse in Bethnal Green. He had been admitted there after a stay in St Luke’s Hospital for the Insane, where he had been sent due to a religious mania the chief symptom of which was a compulsion to pray in public. Smart had long been thought one of the minor religious poets of the 18th century, best known for the 'Song To David'. 'Jubilate Agno' itself was unknown until an edition was published in 1939 under the title 'Rejoice In The Lamb: A Song From Bedlam.' But it was the 1954 edition edited by W H Bond which gave us the poem in its accepted form, and which has led to Smart being hailed as a great original, and his poem much more than simply the ravings of a lunatic. 'Jubilate Agno' is read by Frank Key (RIP) and Germander Speedwell.
6:05pm - 7:00pm
Exhibition Of A Dream
Audio from “The Exhibition of a Dream,” curated by Mathieu Copeland at the Fondation Calouste Gulbenkian, Paris, 7 October to 17 December 2017. This musical exhibition is formed of dreams by cineasts, poets, writers and artists. FM Einheit composed songs from their dreams which were recorded in the buildings, amphitheatres and gardens of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, in February and June 2017; and produced and mixed by FM Einheit in Steinschlag Studio, Germany. We hear four representative works, chosen by Mathieu Copeland and FM Einheit. They are 'Alpine Traum' by Lee Ranaldo; 'The Squid' by Émilie Pitoiset; 'Death Progression' by David Link; 'Joyful Pleasure' by Susie Green; “Carpet” by FM Einheit; and 'Creation: Recreated' by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge. In addition to the dreamers, the pieces are performed by Volker Kamp, Robert Poss, Erika Stucky, Susan Stenger, Saskia von Klitzing and the singers from the Gulbenkian Choir. Recordings courtesy FM Einheit and the artists.
7:00pm - 7:40pm
Outrage & Optimism
As a holiday treat, Resonance brings you select episodes of the Outrage + Optimism podcast co-hosted by Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson and produced by Clay Carnill. Each show highlights how we can channel the outrage we see on the streets (and online) about incremental actions in the face of the climate crisis, toward the stubborn optimism needed to forge ahead with ambition. Each show's discussion aims to inform, inspire and help listeners realise that this is both the most challenging, but also the most exciting time in history to be alive. This episode: Inequality Is At The Root! Christiana joins us from Singapore where she has been attending the inspirational Earthshot Prize Awards.
7:40pm - 8:00pm
A Passage
"A passage (2023)" by Jake Caleb follows a ‘pilgrimage’ the artist made earlier this year to Allahabad, India to trace the history of his ancestor, a priest of Indian descent. This journey was sparked by the death of the artist’s father due to Covid-19 in 2021. The work collects together field recordings and narrated poetry as a mediation on grief, assimilation and loss. Realised as part of An Other World.
8:00pm - 8:30pm
