MUSIC / Upbeat: Spot the tune
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ALONG with next week's restyling of the rush-hour fare, Radio 3 is bringing back signature tunes for each of its morning presenters. First off, with Piers Burton-Page, will be De Poste from Susato's Danserye, a rousing little number from 1551. Midweek then goes 20th-century: Andrew McGregor, on Tuesdays, has Dumbarton Oaks by Stravinsky, Chris de Souza an excerpt from Kodaly's Hary Janos - not, we are assured, the musical sneeze that tells you to disbelieve everything you hear for the next two hours - and Adrian Edwards the Ravel String Quartet. Then it's back to the Weber Second Clarinet Concerto for Fridays with Andrew Lyle, or at least it will be in a fortnight's time.
Monday's first full-length item is a Rossini overture, The Silken Ladder. It should not take too long to discover whether this is for climbing up or sliding down.
