While Jonathan Harvey's UK premiere plays on the musical content of speech, his Tombeau de Messiaen is his homage to 'a great musical and spiritual presence' - represented tonight by the Concert à quatre, a work completed after Messiaen's death by his widow Yvonne Loriod.

As well as Harvey's classic Mortuos plango, vivos voco, the concert features two works by one of the earliest pioneers of electronic music.

Aside from the performance of Punkte ('Points') by the Gürzenich Orchestra under Markus Stenz on the actual day that would have been the composer's 80th birthday (Prom 48), this Stockhausen Day offers a fuller immersion into the work of this uniquely uncompromising creative force.

This early-evening Prom contrasts a pair of Stockhausen's early works - Gruppen ('Groups'), which passes ideas between three spatially separated ensembles, and Kontakte, referring to 'contacts' between instrumental and electronic sounds - with two recent works - both of them excerpts from Klang, the large-scale sequence on which Stockhausen was working at the time of his death last December.

* Stockhausen Gruppen (24 mins)
* Stockhausen Klang, 13th hour - Cosmic Pulses (for electronics) (UK premiere) (32 mins)
* Stockhausen Klang, 5th hour - Harmonies for solo trumpet (BBC commission: world premiere) (c15 mins)
* Interval
* Stockhausen Kontakte (35 mins)
* Stockhausen Gruppen (repeat performance) (24 mins)
