Key Matters

May 24th, 2008 by Russell Davies

The Speechification crew were at the BBC this week, showing them what we were up to, hoping they wouldn’t hate it. They were thoroughly charming and helpful, especially with news on new features coming soon which mean it won’t be such a struggle to uncover who actually made the programmes we all love. There does seem to be lots of good stuff around the corner. But this Key Matters programme is an illustration of what still makes Listen Again so frustrating. It’s a lovely programme, fifteen minutes about what makes the key of E flat major so distinctive, and as soon as you stumble across it you want to listen to the four programmes that preceded it. And you can’t. They’ve gone. Curses. Oh well, at least we captured this one. MP3 here.

Update: Speechification listeners are marvels. If you look in the comments you’ll see that ‘Riffle’ has the remaining programmes. I’ve grabbed them from him and here they are: C major, D minor, B flat, F sharp.
