Cover Art from Paul Bailey's "Retrace Our Steps"
Hear some music theatre pieces on this New Sounds show. Listen to Philip Glass's recent release "Waiting for the Barbarians," adapted from the novel by the South African writer and Nobel Prize Winner John Coetzee. Also, there's music by Paul Bailey - his post-minimalist music theatre piece "Retrace our Steps." He describes it as a four act vocal/instrumental spectacle based on texts by Gertrude Stein, Guy Debord and Jenny Bitner. The "alt-classical garage band" Paul Bailey Ensemble performs the work. And more.

I just want to confirm the name of the last opera played on Tuesday night's show. I thought it was by Michael Diamond, and the first section was called "Brillian Body," is that correct? And how can I purchase it? Thanks,
TD
Fundraising: WNYC is One of my Utilities
I consider WNYC 1 of my UTILITIES since I depend on it throughout the day. Therefore, as with Con Ed, I've arranged to have a monthly amount given to WNYC, automatically, taken from my charge acct.
WNYC gives me more light than Con Ed and is much cheaper. At just $10 a month, it is by far the cheapest of all my utilities.
Thank you,
Betty Palmer
