#3325: Lost Cities & Civilizations
We’ll spend an hour listening to music from lost cities and civilizations on this New Sounds program. Hear music by Turkmenistan-born Iraida Yusupova, with the title “Kitezh” – the invisible city of legend that appears in a Rimsky-Korsakov opera and a kind of Russian Atlantis. It is said to have disappeared under water when Mongols were about to attack, and Yusupova suggests as much with theremin and tape.
Also, there’s music about the sunken city of Ys of Breton folk myths, the lost continent of Atlantis, the fabled city of El Dorado, and the disappeared Mesopotamian city of Babylon, in what is now Iraq.
