	KEYS TO MUSIC - Graham Abbott break down the barriers to enjoying 
classical music for non-musicians, revealing basic concepts, discussing 
composers and exploring pieces of music inside-out. This week: "The Wit 
and Wisdom of Joseph Haydn". Joseph Haydn's enormous and marvellously 
varied output reflects his personality. At times serious, often devout, 
he was also given to pranks and jokes which were sometimes (but not 
always) tempered by wisdom. This program explores a few of Haydn's 
musical jokes, from the violins who forget to tune in one of his 
symphonies, to the joke that offended an Empress in one of his Masses, 
and much else besides. We are left with the impression of a warm and 
caring man who could always smile. (from ABC Classic FM) [%]

As We Know It". Stress is a term that is often over-used and 
misunderstood. Professor Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New 
York City, an expert on the topic, has written a book called The End of 
Stress As We Know It. He claims that once people have read it, they 
will not think of stress in the same way as before. The book, whose 
co-author is Elizabeth Norton Lasley, deals with the biology and 
psychology of stress. In this program Professor McEwen talks about his 
work and ideas on stress. [T; %]

0205 -
	THE BOYER LECTURES - "A Tale of Two Hemispheres". In its formative 
years, Australia was portrayed as a place disconnected from God. People 
were sent here as a punishment. Even our flora and fauna were seen as 
mistakes of nature. Recently, in his adopted city of London, Australian 
writer and academic Peter Conrad saw a poster reminding Londoners that 
Australians now enjoy a very attractive life style. Our country is now 
an object of desire rather than dread and the image of Australia is 
more in danger of being exploited for commercial gain than disparaged. 
In his six Boyer Lectures, Peter Conrad charts this transformation, 
impressively referencing literature, historical texts and artistic 
works from several fields. Over the six lectures, he notes how 
Australian artists have asserted cultural independence from the north 
and reflects on the evolution of our unique modern multi-culture. He 
explores Australia's changing view of "up over" and especially our 
relationships with Britain and America. He concludes with a look at how 
Australia's image is being absorbed in globalised marketing while young 
Australians confidently make an impact on the world stage.
