"Counterpoint Premieres" Album CoverCounterpoint Premieres
Formed by the conductor Robert de Cormier in 2000, the chamber vocal ensemble Counterpoint has been an advocate of modern composers since its inception. We hear a sample from their album Counterpoint Premieres, with Paul Alan Levi's jazz-infused memorial to poet Bert Chernow, "Bye, Bye Toots." Also, mezzo Anne Sofie von Otter takes a swing at Kurt Weill, and the New York Chamber Symphony essays Howard Hanson's impressionistic Serenade for Flute, Harp, and Strings.

Terrence: You got me goin', to quote an old Bessie Smith song. I've had trouble with your style and format, but I still tune in occasionally, and I'm glad to say you're getting better. You certainly have good (meaning varied and of good quality)taste in music, and, as an African American listener, I thank you for including the Monk pieces and the Still piece last night. Maybe scripting your comments would avoid awkward stumbling such as occurred in your explanation of the "In Walked Bud" story tonight.
