A guide to Radio 3's Soundscape of a Century
Press rewind on a century with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
On Sunday 30 October 2022, Radio 3 invites you to relive 100 years of history, with an epic, eight-hour soundscape marking a century of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½. This page is your guide to the music and archive material from the soundscape.
Here, you'll find descriptions of some of the key events marked in the broadcast in chronological order, alongside details of all the music, listed in the order we hear it.
You won't find absolutely everything listed on this page as the Soundscape is simply too detailed. And don't be surprised if you hear historical events deviating slightly from their true chronological order within the broadcast.
Radio 3’s Soundscape of a Century is a sonic celebration, rather than an exhaustive timeline: an eclectic, joyful attempt to capture the spirit of the century, its music and culture - as heard on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½.
