1924 was a landmark year for American music. It was the year of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue first made audiences swoon. George Antheil was another American composer who loved jazz.

Violinist Rachel Barton Pine says, "there's nothing more fundamental than holding an infant in your arms and rocking them gently to sleep."

Napoleon's defeat inspired two noisy pieces of music: Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, and a noisy, impetuous, militant march by Beethoven called Wellington's Victory, one of those rare occasions when the loser's name is more known than the winner.

12:00 P.M.  Performance Today  In 1908 Maurice Ravel wrote an enchanting piece for solo piano called Ondine or water fairy. Ravel often did orchestral versions of his piano pieces, but not this one. He left it as a piano solo. However, that hasn't stopped others from trying. We'll hear a fascinating musical experiment. The Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra had Louis Lortie play Ravel's solo piano version. Then, without a break, they played a 1990 orchestration of the piece. We'll hear them back to back, just as they were done on stage in Brazil.

12:00 P.M.  Performance Today  "Good composers borrow, great composers steal." That quote is often attributed to Igor Stravinsky, one of the most original composers of the 20th century. Even when Stravinsky pilfered musical ideas, though, he made them very much his own. When Stravinsky wrote ballet music in 1919, he lifted tunes from about two centuries earlier, but tweaked them enough to put his own stamp on them. We'll hear the result: The Pulcinella Suite from a concert in Cologne, Germany.

6:00 Business of the Arts with Judy Neale.  Cultural commentator Matthew Gurewitsch sits down to talk about his varied career and the surprising sidelines that have taken up his focus, such as suddenly directing Wagner in Russia, among a surprising series of occupations and interests. His most recent effort: today's New York Times Arts & Leisure feature on HOT's recent leading tenor in Tosca, Ta'u Pupu'a, a past NFL player and currently embarked on making his way in the opera world. Listeners may recall Matthew's profile of HPR Music Director Gene Schiller, also published as a feature in the NY Times about a year ago.
7:00 Singing and Other Sins

8:00 New Sounds with John Schaefer  The late British composer Steve Martland was one of the more quirky composers heard on New Sounds as long ago as the 1980’s. A refugee from punk rock, he studied with Louis Andriessen, before forming his own ensemble.  He passed away in early May, at the age of 53.  We remember him by revisiting live performances by the Steve Martland Band from the annual Bang on a Can Music Marathon, recorded at Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2000.  Listen to a piece of English folk music adapted to serve the purpose of being connected to football, “Kick,” along with a major work written for the Bang on a Can All-Stars, “Horses of Instruction,” which sounds like a muscular jazz-funk summit between Reich and Stravinsky.  There's also a performance of a short work, “Re-mix.”  Martland introduced each piece from the stage, as well as conducted his ensemble.
9:00 The Early Muse with Ian Capps  The First Spanish Masters  Three important composers were responsible for crafting the special flavor of Spanish sacred music in the early 1500s: Juan de Anchieta from the Basque country, Francisco Penalosa from Madrid, and most important of all, Cristobal de Morales from Seville.
