Description:
Program 22 ~ Incomplete. Sides 3 and 6 only. ~ Begins abruptly with "Dance of the Frogs" followed by Lamar Stringfield's third movement from his "Blue Ridge Suites," "Kidder Coal"(?) This completes the first half of the program from the Brooklyn Museum. ~ Guest commentator, David Light talks about February being a historical month focusing on two great Americans. Today's concert is focused on those who labored in the world of music, capture the spirit of America. America is rich is musical talent. From Harvard College is Walter Piston, Assistant Professor of Music. From Columbia University a suite by Daniel Gregory Mason. ~ American composers are gaining more recognition. Attitudes have changed when evaluating new music. Signs of an advancing musical culture. Each new period of music is a result of changing political, social and religious influences.
