Tone Poem Tuesday
Chinese composer Tan Dun always interests me, and yet I always feel like I haven’t heard enough of his music! Here’s a fascinating tone poem, based on a three-note motif. And where does the motif come from? Well: Imagine if … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday
Let’s get right into 2024 with something familiar, and yet…not! Rodion Shchedrin is a Soviet/Russian composer, born in 1932. He is still alive as of this writing, and he has apparently been a very productive and prolific composer over his … Continue reading

I still feel like we’re trying to come up for air…which means, how about some more Rossini.

Tone Poem Tuesday
We’re two weeks out from Halloween, so time for some spooky music! This is the entire soundtrack album from the movie Ghost Story, from 1981. I’ve never seen this movie, but I know it’s not the most highly-regarded horror movie ever. Your … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday
Time to revisit an old favorite, one of my favorite tone poems of all time, in fact: Edward Elgar’s concert overture In the South (Alassio), which is thrilling and colorful and beautiful and exciting. This piece is, quite honestly, everything I … Continue reading
