Nino's Nonetto

« previous episode | next episode »

Sunday, May 04, 2008

Composer Nino Rota may be famous for writing the "Godfather" theme, but he also left behind a vast catalog of chamber music. We hear a charming example in his "Nonetto" for winds.

Also, Elizabethan era composer John Dowland knew he had a hit on his hands when he wrote the lute song "Flow my teares"; his set of dances based on that tune became one of the most popular pieces of music of the 17th century (and we hear them tonight).
