Abstract
About this title: Music of our time is harder to assess; we should remember that today’s war-horses were in their own time shockingly modern, and that contemporary audiences often spurned those whom we most venerate today. This program presents a broad cross-section of modern music and musical trends, leaving to listeners the guess as to which will be tomorrow’s classics. Contents include excerpts from: Lennon and McCartney’s When I’m 64; Varèse’s Ionization; Stravinsky’s The Firebird, Rite of Spring, Symphony in C; Copland’s El Salón México; Tippett’s Double String Concerto; Messiaen’s Pentecostal Mass; Stockhausen’s Kontakte; Boulez’ Le Marteau sans maître; Berio’s A-Ronne; Ligeti’s Melodien; Nono’s La Fabbrica Illuminata; Henze’s El Cimarrón; Cage’s Improvisations from "Songbooks."
About the series: From pre-Gregorian to postmodern, this series covers the major periods, styles, forms, composers, and works in the entire span of Western music with superb performances and authoritative narration. Ever unhurried, viewers are permitted to relish entire compositions and generous excerpts from representative period music performed by world-acclaimed artists, orchestras, conductors, operas, and ballet companies around the world. James Galway is the series host.
