Clive Myrie is in conversation with fellow journalists about the music they’ve heard whilst reporting from the front line. With his own extensive experience of covering wars, and his personal love of opera and jazz, Clive and Caroline Wyatt share stories to reveal something of the power and significance of music when working in extreme conflict situations.

Caroline Wyatt is a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ presenter and journalist. She began her career as a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ foreign correspondent based in Berlin, Bonn, Moscow and Paris. During that period, she reported from Iraq, Kosovo, Chechnya, and the Middle East. She was then ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Defence Correspondent covering operations in Iraq and Afghanistan before becoming ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Religious Affairs Correspondent.

She is now a presenter for Radio 4 Saturday PM.

Here she recalls the music that accompanied her working life on the front line including Barber’s Adagio for Strings, Venus the Bringer of Peace from Holst’s The Planets and Bach’s Magnificat in D major.
