Title: Artists in Exile this week on Exploring Music Post by: guest377 on July 10, 2017, 03:16:02 pm Interesting series on Artists in Exile: Bill McGlaughlin continues to reflect on artists in exile, beginning with music from Paul Hindemith. In his escape from Nazi Germany, Hindemith traveled to Turkey, England, and Switzerland before coming to America. We'll listen to his Symphony for Concert Band and When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd. Bill then considers the plight of composers who faced deportation from America because of their political views. We finish this two-week series with composers from Asia and Latin America. Glorious music from Chen Yi and Gabriela Lena Frank, as well as Tan Dun's title song for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Exploring Music airs weeknights at 7:00 on Classical 101.1 WRR. www.wrr101.com |
