Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack to start the weekend! American composer John Adams is, one of the world's greatest living composers, and his music from Nixon in China to Shaker Loops to Short Ride in a Fast Machine are some of the most performed contemporary works today. The Times said “If American music has a living epitome, it is John Adams”. He's also a much in demand conductor and is in the UK to lead the Hallé orchestra in several concerts of his own music and more - he chats to Tom about his music, cultural life in America, why he's not a political composer and why he believes all children are musical. Tom also chats to another composer, Joff Bush, the composer for the much loved Australian kids cartoon 'Bluey'. Joff's scores for Bluey fuse his new music with reimagined versions of classical favourites, from Holst's Jupiter to Mozart's Rondo alla Turca or Pachelbel's Canon, and are opening up classical music to a whole generation. Tom chats to Joff about his music for the series and the release of 'Bluey's First Ever Piano Book' which starts little ones playing the piano using games, imagination and stories from Bluey’s world. Plus ahead of tonight’s clock change in the UK, neuropsychologist Catherine Loveday explores the link between sleep and music and whether we can really use music to help us get a better night’s sleep
