Harmonia for September 02, 2007
7:00 AM - 8:00 AM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Two Medieval Trios"
The ensembles Trio Mediaeval and Liber unUsualis have a lot in common yet are quite individual in many respects. Audiences in North America and Europe have enjoyed their highly individual interpretations of medieval music. This week on Harmonia, we'll sneak a peek at each ensemble and their recordings. We'll also listen to a new release by Canadian harpsichordist Luc Beauséjour.
From the transcendent sounds of Anonymous 4, to the sublime realm of Chant, to the passion of an Italian Baroque violin sonata, Harmonia is drawing new listeners in unprecedented numbers to the world of Early Music.
Harmonia is a production of WFIU in Bloomington, Indiana, home of Indiana University's prestigious School of Music and the largest Early Music Institute in North America; with additional technical support from KOHM at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. Bloomington's position as a center for Early Music research provides fertile ground for concert recordings and interviews with top performers and scholars in the field.
Indiana University's Thomas Binkley Archive of Early Music Recordings, an unmatched resource for rare, out-of-print, and historically important Early Music recordings, enriches Harmonia's musical offerings. Combining this unique collection of resources with commercial, private, and archival material, Harmonia host and producer Angela Mariani brings historically informed performance to today's listeners, adding evocative commentary to illustrate, inform, and entertain.
