Rough for Radio II. Words and Music. Mrs. Rooney advances along country road towards railway station. Sound of her dragging feet. Music faint from house by way. Death and the Maiden. The steps slow down, stop.

Early on in "Words and Music," readers are asked to ponder, "How much longer cooped up here in the dark?" and the radio piece ends with a deep sigh. The journey in between examines how lov As he does in nearly all of his works, Samuel Beckett seems to be taking direct notation from the mind's eye for the three texts in this collection - to stunning effects. Play" is about a love triangle of sorts that's been parsed down to the quintessence of obfuscation and misunderstanding in such triangles. Early on in "Words and Music," readers are asked. The immediacy in this collection is palpable.

Though hesitant, Beckett nevertheless wrote the following to a friend: "Never thought about radio play technique but in the dead of t’other night got a nice gruesome idea full of cartwheels and dragging of feet and puffing and panting which may or may not lead to something. That "gruesome idea" led, according to the program, not just to Beckett's 1956 radio-play debut All That Fall, but four more to follow over the next twenty years. Built out of two monologues, a dialogue, and the sounds of the sea, Embers' "rather ragged" script (in the words of Beckett himself, who later took the blame for the"too difficult" text) presents us with an inarticulate protagonist who leaves us with many more questions than answers.

Cascando is a radio play by Samuel Beckett. It was written in French in December 1961, subtitled Invention radiophonique pour musique et voix, with music by the Franco-Romanian composer Marcel Mihalovici. It was first broadcast on France Culture on 13 October 1963 with Roger Blin (L'Ouvreur) and Jean Martin (La Voix). Mercier fancifully calls Cascando, along with Words and Music, "a new genre – invisible opera. Voice’s story is accompanied by surges of non-verbal consciousness, the swell of emotions expressed in the music. The track appears on his latest double album, 'Vagabond Songs'.

Original music for Cascando, Words and Music and Rough For Radio 1 has been composed by Paul Clark. EMBERS Henry sits on the strand, tormented by the sound of the sea. He talks to his drowned father, who doesn't answer, and to his wife, Ada, who does. Throughout it all the sound of the sea weaves in and out, almost like a third character. Though Embers was written in 1958-1959, in 1986 Samuel Beckett could describe the location, Killiney Beach, near the Foxrock house in which he spent his youth, and the sound of the sea with exacting detail. ALL THAT FALL Samuel Beckett's first radio play is full of Irish humour and pathos. In it, Maddy Rooney, seventy years old, "two hundred pounds of unhealty fat", makes her laborious way to the Boghill railroad station to meet her blind husband, Dan, as a surprise for him on his birthday. Along the way she meets a comic array of Irish characters.

Music is everywhere in Beckett. Extracts from "The Unbuttoned Symphony" appear in Dream of Fair to Middling Women and More Pricks Than Kicks, Miss Counihan's lingering kiss in Murphy is compared to "a breve tied. over bars' times its equivalent in demisemiquavers", while the visit of a pair of piano tuners is one of the highlights of Watt.
