Wonderful essay with very cool music! Just what we need on this HOT summer day. 🦋🎶

"The album spans a wide variety of styles and genres. At times, it's conventionally classical like in "Zucchini," a song about a dream in which a piece TERRY RILEY🇺🇸🇯🇵Official didn’t write is rehearsed and performed by an orchestra." —will peacock bit.ly/3VUHj3S

just in time before July, it's more new music! this time, I'm talking about TERRY RILEY🇺🇸🇯🇵Official's surreal dream diary in chamber music form, "Autodreamographical Tales," performed by the inimitable Bang on a Can All-Stars classicalwcrb.org/blog/2024-06-2…

just before September, more words from yours truly! this month I talked about Gabriel Kahane's "emergency shelter intake form," an oratorio that's as much of a chilling wake up call about about the American housing crisis as it is a Kurt Weill-ian romp: classicalwcrb.org/blog/2024-08-2…

Gabriel Kahane confronts uncomfortable truths about the housing crisis in America with his witty, genre-defying oratorio “emergency shelter intake form,” performed by the Oregon Symphony. Read all about it in will peacock's latest blog: bit.ly/4e4bz2z

"If you combined 'Oklahoma!' with a Handel oratorio, and you threw in a hearty dash of Woody Guthrie for good measure, you might begin to approach the genre-play at hand in 'Certainly We Can All Agree.'" Read more from will peacock on Kahane's latest: bit.ly/4e4SKfw
