I think these THREE films on the IPlayer are essential viewing. I think they need to be shown in ALL schools.

Alban Berg...LULU...THIS OPERA IS INCOMPLETE..Berg died before completing the final act..Tony Harrison's wife is Teresa Stratas.. an operatic soprano singer famed for her version of Berg's LULU..This explains the line..' Shillbottle cobbles, Alban Berg, high D lifted from the source that bears your name,..'
I think this section of the poem with Harrison UNITED with his wife, listening to music, and enjoying the heat of a coal fire is quite a significant moment..WHAT SAY YOU??

HOW IMPORTANT IS MUSIC IN HARRISON'S V? What is the symbolic significance?
In a previous lesson I referred to VAUGHAN WILLIAMS and The Lark Ascending being a pice of classical music that very often makes me cry..and I'm not sure why!! LEND IT YOUR EARS..Read the You Tube comments...Incredible.

I also mentioned the SEX PISTOLS and how when I first heard their album NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS in 1978 I found it terrifying and exciting. Here is the track that inspired the fear and engagement...I had never heard music like this before!!! I also include the classic GOD SAVE THE QUEEN that was banned from the radio but still made it to number ONE in the UK charts. I think V is a SEX PISTOLS of a POEM!
