03/02/22 • 128 min

Brittany J. Green is a North Carolina-based composer, creative, and educator whose works engage everything from Black feminist theory to the rupture of systems. She joins Garrett in this week's third movement to talk about her music, her studies of Julius Eastman, and how differing queer perspectives played a role in 20th century instrumental music. Scott returns to this year's "classical" Grammy conversation, highlights the music of Odetta, and offers his thoughts concerning the conflict in Ukraine. Garrett offers words from Mamie Till, celebrates the "Afro-harping" of Brandee Younger, and digs into the nuances of racism as seen in recent news media. Playlist: Bohdana Frolyak - Clarinet Concerto Miles Davis - "So What" Odetta - "Woke Up This Morning (With My Mind Stayed On Freedom)" Odetta - "Water Boy" Dorothy Ashby - "Games" (perf.

TRILLOQUY - Opus 157 - "Here, Bullet"
play

07/20/22 • 115 min

Inspired by the viscerally provocative poem, "Here, Bullet" by Brian Turner, the art song of the same name by composer Kurt Erickson is, among many things, a plea for western classical arts spaces to directly address gun violence. This composition inspired multi-disciplinary artist Will Chase to write a screenplay, which will be the foundation for an upcoming short film. Both Kurt and Will join Garrett (1:02:00) to unpack the inspirations and challenges of this work, along with its context within the framework of "classical" music. Scott highlights a work by Phillip Glass and cites excerpts from "Stuff White People Like", Garrett addresses opera's latest use of blackface, and the guys talk "big steps" in the finale. Playlist: Jackson 5 - "Never Can Say Goodbye" Gil Scott-Heron - "Whitey On the Moon" The Church - "Under The Milky Way" Abel Selaocoe - "Qhawe" (Performance Excerpt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhFgeNW6D1g) perf.
