PROGRAM FOURTY: "Continuum"
First Broadcast: 02.23.07

One is taught to think about the development of western art music as a linear continuum along which both styles and instruments move from the past into the future, from the simple to the complex.  There is Medieval music, Renaissance music, baroque music, classical music, Romantic music, 20th century music, and new music.  Baroque instruments play baroque music, classical instruments play classical music, and so on.  It can therefore seem anachronistic to hear new music played on baroque instruments.  However, given that baroque instruments were relegated to the museum until the late 20th century so-called "authentic performance practices" movement revived them —bringing them to life again in the modern era for the sole purpose of resurrecting a more "authentic" past — it is perhaps not so strange that they now have sort of schizophrenic existence – on the one hand used for "authentic" period productions, and on the other, as distinct-sounding toys for modern composers.

In this program, we'll hear new works for harpsichord, next to pieces for prepared and microtuned pianos.

How oft when thou, my music, music play'st,
Upon that blessed wood whose motion sounds
With thy sweet fingers when thou gently sway'st
The wiry concord that mine ear confounds,
Do I envy those jacks that nimble leap,
To kiss the tender inward of thy hand,
Whilst my poor lips which should that harvest reap,
At the wood's boldness by thee blushing stand!
To be so tickled, they would change their state
And situation with those dancing chips,
O'er whom thy fingers walk with gentle gait,
Making dead wood more bless'd than living lips.
Since saucy jacks so happy are in this,
Give them thy fingers, me thy lips to kiss.

— Shakespere's Sonnet 128, "The Wiry Concord"

Inspired by the grim medieval ballad "The Twa Corbies"

As I was walking all alane,
I heard twa corbies making a mane;
The tane unto the t'other say,
'Where sall we gang and dine to-day,
Where sall we gang and dine to-day?'

'In behint yon auld fail dyke,
I wot there lies a new slain knight;
And naebody kens that he lies there,
But his hawk, his honnd, and lady fair,
His hawk, his honnd, and lady fair.

'His hound is to the hunting gane,
His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame,
His lady 'a ta'en another mate,
So we may mak our dinner sweet,
We may mak our dinner sweet.

'Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane,
And I'll pike out his bonny blue een;
Wi ae lock o his gowden hair
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare,
We'll theek our nest when it grows bare.'

'Mony a one for him makes mane,
But nane sall ken where he is gane;
Oer his white banes, when they are bare,
The wind sail blaw for evennair,
The wind sail blaw for evennair.'

PROGRAM FOURTY-TWO: "John Cage: Zipping up the Different Sides"
First Broadcast: 06.22.06

John Cage was born on September 5th, 1912 in Los Angeles, CA, and passed away on the 12 th of August 1992 in New York city.  More than any other composer, American or otherwise, Cage raised questions about what music really is. He described his music as, "purposeless play -- an affirmation of life—not an attempt to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we are living, which is so excellent once one gets one's mind and desires out the way and lets it act of its own accord."

This entire program is dedicated to John Cage – a retrospective of works that have taken on a life of their own, affirming Cage's philosophies about music and demonstrating the reach and influence his thoughts and actions have had on music across the entire planet..
