    Peter Dickinson The Guardian , Thursday 11 December 2014 17.37 GMT Arthur Johnson produced David Munrow’s series for BBC Radio 3, Pied Piper: Tales and Music for Young Listeners. It ran for 655 editions over five years. As one of the leading music producers at BBC Radio 3 for almost 30 years, Arthur Johnson, who has died aged 74, produced David Munrow’s groundbreaking series Pied Piper: Tales and Music for Young Listeners. The programme, which thrived on Munrow’s ability to present early music to a wide audience, ran for 655 editions over five years, until Munrow’s death at 33 in 1976. As head of documentaries at Radio 3, Arthur, whom I valued as a friend and collaborator, won many awards, including a Sony for our programme on Lord Berners (1983), and the Prix Musical de Brno for a feature on Mozart in Prague (1990). He also produced Record Review for many years and, later...

Artist Biography by Joseph Stevenson David John Munrow , in his brief career, was one of the most exciting and influential leaders of the British early music movement. After he completed his school education, he taught for a year in South America. He returned to England to attend Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he read for a degree in English from 1961 to 1964. He was an avid and talented flute player and while at Cambridge founded an organization to play early music. After he graduated, he studied seventeenth century music at Birmingham University. It was his exposure to South American indigenous music, with its strong use of wooden instruments of the flute family, that stimulated his interest in such instruments, including the recorder. At that time, interest in England in early music was growing. Munrow found himself in great demand as a recorder player. In 1967, he founded the Early Music Consort of London , with counter tenor James Bowman , violist Oliver Brookes , luteni...

The following comes from the Independent.. In his enjoyable list of "lost" programmes, Chris Maume calls Pied Piper from the 1970s an "early music programme for children" ("Turn on, tune in...", 7 August). Although, as a musician my husband, David Munrow, specialised in early music, over the years his programme covered a different music-related topic each week. It was aimed at youngsters (teachers used it in class), but many of the audience were adults. The painting that won the poster competition to advertise the programme has pride of place in my kitchen.Gillian Munrow Amersham, Buckinghamshire  http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/letters/iiosi-letters-emails-amp-online-postings-14-august-2011-2337151.html It would be nice if GM could contribute to this site anything interesting, and amusing about DM, and the Early Music Consort? I suppose this would be asking too much...? Maybe she might like to send a photo of the poster which advertized Pied Piper fo...

As a teenager I was fascinated by history, and art. My first introduction to early music proper ofcourse was via a Munrow record. In the early 70s his Early Music Consort dominated the scene unlike now where there are any number of ensembles dealing with medieval, and renaissance music such as Piffaro, the Clemencic Consort, the Orlando Consort, Gothic Voices, et al. Anyway, on occassion I would listen to Pied Piper on the radio especially when it dealt with early music. I notably recall the Feast of the Pheasant which drew its musical extracts from Munrows own record album of The Art of Courtly Love album notably dealing with Machaut, and Dufay. It was clear that he used his own printed "notes" from this recording for this specific broadcast. I seem to recall too a broadcast on Pied Piper of his Se La Face Ay Pale by Dufay. He referred to it as being "rich, and expressive." Munrows voice seem to shake when he mentioned that Dufay died in 1474. One Pied Piper progra...
