The Music of Miró
In this episode a pairing of music and art, not by my design, but by way of Joan Punyet Miró’s playlist to accompany some of his grandfather’s masterpieces.
Punyet Miró believes music, by composers from Mozart to John Cage, help to expand a viewer’s experience of his grandfather’s art. He has paired musical compositions beloved by Miró with some of his works - like fine wines with a main course.
Dutch Interior (1) - Badinerie from the Orchestral Suite No.2 in B Minor, BWV 1067 by J S Bach
The Hunter (Catalan Landscape) - Presto from The Four Seasons, Summer by Vivaldi.
The Birth of the World - Introduction to Part One Adoration of the Earth from The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky
Woman (Opera Singer) - extract of “O ciechi, ciechi” from Monteverdi’s Selva morale e spirituale
Hirondelle Amour - Molto allegro from Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K. 550
The Flames of the Sun Make the Desert Flower Hysterical - extract from Stephen Hartke’s piano quartet The King of the Sun

MAGRITTE AND THE TUBA
Clouds, pipes, bowler hats, green apples and tubas: these remain some of the most immediately recognisable icons of René Magritte, the Belgian painter and well-known Surrealist. This week we focus on the tuba in Magritte’s work – in particular, The Central Story (1927), Threatening Weather (1928) and The Discovery of Fire (1935). We’ll hear music written for the instrument by Sophia Gubaidulina, her ‘Lamento’, Widening Circles by Joshua William Mills and Asha Srinivasan’s Dyadic Affinities.
