On 9th February 2020, my arrangement for solo lyre of the traditional Egyptian folk song, "My Heart was Burnt by Love" (from my 2009 album, "An Ancient Lyre"), was featured in this episode of the BBC Radio 3 series, "Words and Music", in a programme entitled
"Welcome To Heartbreak":

From the programme notes, "There cannot be a phenomenon in all the world that inspires poets and composers more than heartbreak. It is a universal experience, and yet at the same time feels utterly unique.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, why not indulge yourself in expressions of exquisite pain from the likes of Audre Lorde, Alice Meynell, Don Paterson and Derek Walcott, whose words take you through the stages of despair, denial, regret, acceptance and so on. All of it accompanied, of course, by lovelorn, lovesick music courtesy of Leoncavallo, Puccini, Tchaikovsky and Tom Waits.

Living through the operatic emotions of a broken heart alongside you are readers Zubin Varla and Katie West."

My music featured during and after a reading of a translation of a passage from Ovid on the theme of the broken heart...

"An Ancient Lyre" is available from all major digital music platforms, including Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music & Amazon - more details here:
