Episode #2478

New Music from Switzerland

« previous episode | next episode »

Saturday, November 03, 2007

On this New Sounds program, expect the occasional alphorn – but no yodeling. Hear lots of new music from Switzerland, including something from composer/violinist Franziska Baumann, whose sound installation work features the sound of glacial ice movements interspersed with voices. Also, listen to Michele Walther (violin), Matthias Gubler (soprano sax), and Luzian Jenny (accordion) from the vivacious collection of songs, "Orange Heart." Plus, the fun grooves of the Albins Alpin Quartet, whose music incorporates saxophone, accordion, toy piano, tuba and regular old drums. And so much more.

the swiss listing above does not match the afropop themed show broadcast this evening. Please correct.

Hi,
I just listened to show #2478, and am looking for the recording of the chant you played just briefly towrd the end of the program -- I think you said it was Michel Godard and some monks, but I can't find a recording on Amazon that fits that description. The chant was Conditor alme siderum -- Creator of the stars of night is how it is most often known in English.

I realize the program first aired in 2005, but am hoping you can help me.

Thanks,
Carol Horton
