    New English Choral Music

    Up on this New Sounds program, hear some new choral music representing three different generations of English choral composers, including the recently premiered work "Path of Miracles" by Joby Talbot. Based around the 500-mile Catholic pilgrimage from Roncesvalles in the Pyrenees to the grave of St James at Santiago di Compostella in north-west Spain, the a capella song cycle’s four movements move with the ancient pilgrimage through privation and celebration. There’s also music by Ivan Moody, his Canticum Canticorum I, written for the Hilliard Ensemble. Plus, hear some of the mystical minimalism of John Tavener.

PROGRAM #2572, new English choral music (First aired on Thurs 7/20/06)

Away From Jazz

New Sounds

airs daily at 11PM on 93.9 FM
For this New Sounds, get a load of jazz musicians stepping away from the jazz tradition. There's music from punkass jazz melody-makers Gutbucket off of their latest release, "A Modest Proposal." Also, we'll hear from the latest by Matthew Shipp, called "Harmony and Abyss" and much more.

In Robert Moran's Kitchen

New Sounds

From October 30, 1989, the infamous "cooking show" with composer/raconteur Robert Moran. Recorded while cooking an Indian dinner in John Schaefer's kitchen, for reasons still not entirely clear. Along the way, we hear an "acoustic" version of Cage's 0:00 - for amplification of chopping vegetables and blender. And don't miss the teary conversation as onions are chopped. View the the recipes.
