Extra Eclectic: The Present Honors the Past

Extra Eclectic for May 20, 2020

This week's episode features composers honoring the past in some way: from salutes to earlier composers (Lukas Foss' "For Aaron," Thomas Canning's "Fantasy on a Hymn Tune of Justin Morgan") to tributes to American history (John Cage's "Aparatment House 1776"). Steve Seel also features works by Peter Sculthorpe, Erkki-Sven Tuur, and more.
