Harmonia for November 04, 2007
7:00 AM - 8:00 AM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: "Great Musicians Series: Bruce Dickey"
The career of American cornettist Bruce Dickey has been pioneering to the say the least. This week on Harmonia we'll listen to some of his recent recordings as well hear him talk about music, the cornetto, and how he got started. We'll also listen to a new release by Musica Pacifica.
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.
