  • Summary

  • This episode grapples with the perennial potent power of nationalism in politics. How do nations get created, even invented, we ask. Multiple theories on the construction of nations are explored such as that of "the invention of tradition" and the "imagination of community." Musically we listen to hymns, tone poems and folk based anthems, by composers like Verdi, Sibelius and Smetana. We explore the musical imagination of nationalism as it is drawn to landscape, nature and history buried deep in the past.
