Pete FineOrchestral Song
It can be effective to hear some songs performed in the spare, stripped down setting of one voice and one instrument, but when it's handled well, orchestration can both expand and enhance the possibilities and power of songs. Host David Garland presents some infrequently heard examples of imaginatively orchestrated songs performed by Pete Fine, Julie Covington, Janis Ian, Karen Beth, Jack Nitzsche, Chad & Jeremy, Peter & Gordon, Nick Drake, David Stoughton, Peter Ivers' Band with Yolanda Bavan, Scott Walker, Tim Buckley, plus the Dutch group Bauer with the Metropole Orchestra.
