The gentleman on air today twice mentioned ‘European’ classical.’ This seems contrary to our understanding of my 20 Nov. comment. I had thought that classical music came from just about anywhere?
Donald O’Neil
Hello Donald, yes classical music is composed and performed all over the world. Our host was probably just referring to a piece that was specifically from somewhere in Europe.
I am happy to hear the diversity of period, composers and origins continue during the well tempered program. Not only is that refreshing but it encourages young listeners what possibilities in music are.
Donald O’Neil
Thank you Donald, that is what we aim for. A little something for everyone.
There was a beautiful choral arrangement sung yesterday morning about 11:35 of “Down by the River” or a similar title. What was the piece, who was the arranger, and what group performed this lovely number? I would love to hear more of similar selections! Thanks.
Hello Mari, was it “Shall We Gather at the River”? That was composed by Robert Lowry performed by the Minnesota Choral Artists, featuring alto Lynette Johnson, conducted by Matthew Culloton.
That was it! Many thanks.
Was listening on the fly between, 1PM & 2:00PM on Thursday 08/30 , and you were interviewing a Lady Violinist who had just released a new CD. The music was quite moving and beautiful.Should have stopped and made note of at least her name. Can’t get it out of my mind. Please let me know who she is and the name of the CD. It is a must have. Thanks
Hi Greg, yes that was Anne Akiko Meyers and she has a new CD called “Mirror In Mirror”. Here is the interview in case you need it: https://soundcloud.com/wrcj909fmhd1/anne-akiko-meyers-august-30-2018
Enjoy!
