The third of a series of programmes in which conductor Leonard Slatkin explores ways of listening with fresh ears to the basic elements of music: A look at harmony and those luscious chords that send ripples up the spine. Leonard and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic examine some of Beethoven's structures in the Eroica Symphony, Leonard does his own 'Guess the Tune' mystery harmonisation of a popular ballad, and the programme ends with a close look at a work more often remembered for its orchestration than for remarkable harmonies - Respighi's Pines of Rome.
