Over the past few weeks listeners to WFIU have noticed a change in schedule, and they have not been shy about voicing their opinions about it.

Our main channel Saturday line-up now includes several talk and entertainment programs, such as This American Life, Ask Me Another, Wits, and The Dinner Party Download.

The most significant change in our schedule is the shifting of opera programming from Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening, and the supplanting of the Metropolitan Opera with World of Opera.

Listeners have been swift to let their opinions be known, and the responses we’ve received break into a few broad categories:

• Announcer: Alexandra Morphet • Ether Game: Mark Chilla, host • Harmonia Production Assistant: Janelle Davis • Managing Editor Muslim Voices: Rosemary Pennington • Membership Staff: Laura Grannan, Joan Padawan, Holly Thrasher • Multimedia Journalists: Sehvilla Mann, Amanda Solliday • Multiplatform Reporter: Jimmy Jenkins • Music Library Assistant: Heidi Siberz • News Producer: Emily Wright • Online Content Coordinator: Ben Alford • StateImpact Indiana Multimedia Journalists: Elle Moxley, Kyle Stokes • Volunteer Producer/Hosts: Moya Andrews, Dick Bishop, Mary Catherine Carmichael, Romayne Rubinas Dorsey, Wendy Gillespie, Peter Jacobi, Owen Johnson, Murray McGibbon, Patrick O’Meara, Shana Ritter, Bob Zaltsberg • Web Assistants: Margaret Aprison, Liz Leslie • Web Developer: Sai Kumar

• Return Pipedreams to Monday nights

• Restore the Met Opera, and return it to Saturday afternoon

• Thank you for removing opera from Saturday afternoon • Thanks for bringing back The Thistle & Shamrock • Bring back Says You!

Most of the comments focus on the first two items. Some people have been listening to the Met Opera on WFIU (or another public radio station) for decades. Such a disruption to their weekly schedule is more than just an inconvenience—many have spoken of listening to the opera as a family experience, almost part of their DNA. The second largest group of responses has expressed unhappiness with the removal of Pipedreams from WFIU’s Monday night schedule. They quite rightly point out that IU’s Jacobs School of Music has a pre-eminent organ department that is internationally renowned.

They see Pipedreams as integral in support of the organ department’s mission, and a program that is unique in its content.

Still other listeners have applauded the removal of opera from our Saturday schedule, saying they will no longer turn off their radios Saturday afternoons, and will likely listen to the station more than they did before.

The comments we’ve gotten are important, and we’ll be discussing them in the coming weeks as we review the changes. If you haven’t weighed in on the new program schedule, I urge you to do so. We’ve set up a special e-mail account to register your opinions: listener@ indiana.edu.

How do you feel about the changes? Please let us know! It’s cliché, but it’s true: You are the public in public radio, and your opinion matters.

Artist of the Month

Courtesy of Indiana University

WFIU’s featured artist for the month of August is horn player Myron Bloom, professor of horn at IU’s Jacobs School of Music.

Myron Bloom

Myron Bloom has had one of his generation’s most distinguished musical careers. After playing principal horn in the New Orleans Symphony from 1949 to 1954, Bloom was appointed principal horn of the Cleveland Orchestra under George

Szell where he remained until 1977. Bloom was principal horn of the Casals Festival Orchestra in Puerto Rico and in 1977, at the invitation of Daniel Barenboim, became the principal horn of the Orchestre de Paris until 1985. He has been a member of the Marlboro Music festival from its inception and has performed with the Budapest Quartet.

Bloom has been professor of horn at IU since 1985. He has taught at the Curtis Institute of Music, Carnegie Mellon University, was the chairman of horn studies at the Cleveland Institute of Music from 1961 to 1977. He has also taught at the Oberlin Conservatory, Juilliard School of Music, Boston University, and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris.

Bloom has performed under Claudio Abbado at the Lucerne Festival and with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. He has represented the United States as a jury member in the International Geneva Horn Competition and served on juries in Canada. Bloom serves on many faculty selection committees at the Indiana

WFIU’s featured contemporary composer for the month of August is Gordon Getty.

Since the 1980s, Getty has produced a steady stream of compositions, beginning with The White Election, a muchperformed song cycle on poems by Emily Dickinson. His first opera, Plump Jack, involving adventures of Shakespeare’s Falstaff, was premiered by the San Francisco Symphony in 1984 and has been revived by the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra among other ensembles.

He has recently devoted considerable attention to a pair of one-act operas, Usher House (derived from “The Fall of the House of Usher”) and The Canterville Ghost (after the Oscar Wilde story).

Poetry from the 19th and early 20th centuries has often inspired Getty in his vocal compositions, such as in his choral works Victorian Scenes and Annabel Lee. In 2001, Michael Tilson Thomas led the San Francisco Symphony and Chorus in its premiere of Getty’s Young America, a cycle

of six movements for chorus and orchestra to texts by the composer and by Stephen Vincent Benét.

Although most of Getty’s works feature the voice, he has also written for orchestra, chamber ensembles, and solo piano. In 2010, PentaTone released a CD devoted to six of his orchestral pieces, with Sir Neville Marriner conducting the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, and in 2013 it

University Jacobs School of Music and other universities.

As a recording artist, Myron Bloom has had an extensive career. Among his most important contributions are Richard Strauss’ Symphonia Domestica: Horn Concerto No. 1 with George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra, which was selected by Sony Classical in 1997 for a special edition reissue in their Cleveland Orchestra Masterworks Heritage Series.

He also participated in recordings of all the repertory of the Cleveland Orchestra under Szell.

For the Marlboro Festival with Rudolf Serkin, he recorded Schubert’s Auf Dem Strom, and the Brahms Horn Trio with Rudolf Serkin and Michael Tree, which was selected by Sony Classical for their Marlboro Festival 40th Anniversary series.

Bloom has influenced the design of Hans Hoyer horns, and he received the Punto Award at the International Horn Society’s 2003 symposium.

WFIU will feature performances led

by Myron Bloom in our classical music programming throughout the month of August. followed up with a CD of the composer’s solo piano works played by Conrad Tao. Currently in preparation is a CD of his chamber music that will include a string quartet version of his Four Traditional Pieces, a work that was performed in a string orchestra arrangement by Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg.

Of his compositions Getty has said: “My style is undoubtedly tonal, though with hints of atonality. I represent a viewpoint that stands somewhat apart from the twentieth century. Whatever it was that the great pre-modern composers and poets were trying to achieve, that’s what I’m trying to achieve, and in pretty much the same language.”

Born in 1934 and raised in San Francisco, Getty is the fourth child of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, and is also a venture capitalist and philanthropist. He earned a B.A. in music from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

In 1986, he was honored as an Outstanding American Composer at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

WFIU will feature music of Gordon Getty in our classical music programming throughout the month of August.

Featured Classical Recordings Selections from each week’s featured recording can be heard throughout WFIU’s local classical music programming. A weekly podcast of our featured classical recordings is available through our Web site, wfiu.org, under the “podcasts” link.

August 5–11 Incantations & Inspirations (Classic Concert Records CCR 62033) Duo d’amore This recording is a collection of new music for Baroque oboe, oboe d’amore, and harpsichord by American and Australian composers. The CD couples music inspired by the sonorities and techniques of the Baroque with incantations to natural landscapes.

Duo d’amore consists of Australian Geoffrey Burgess, oboe and American Elaine Funaro, harpsichord. They have stated their aesthetic aim as two-fold: to seek the modern in the old and the old in the modern. They strive to achieve this goal through fresh interpretations of standard repertoire, and by representing the modernity of Baroque instruments in commissioned works.

August 12–18 Andrés Segovia Archive: Spanish Composers (Reference Recordings FR-705) Roberto Moronn Pérez, guitar The genesis for this project is a collection of pieces recovered in 2001 at Andrés Segovia’s home in Spain. These pieces were dedicated to Segovia or commissioned by him, involving composers from eight countries, and were subsequently published as “The Segovia Archive Series.”

Guitarist Roberto Moronn Pérez researched these newly recovered works and found that some pieces had never been recorded. He has now started a series of albums organized around the nationalities of the composers in the archive.

The Spanish composers recorded here are the first in the series, to be followed soon by an album of the French composers. This album was recorded in Holy Trinity Church in Hertfordshire.

August 19–25 Gordon Getty: Piano Pieces (PentaTone Classics PTC 5186 505) Conrad Tao, piano This CD contains all the works for solo piano written over the past half-century

by American composer Gordon Getty, who is WFIU’s Featured Contemporary Composer for August. The music is

generally descriptive and based on dance forms. Colorful and entertaining, each piece sparkles with invention.

The Homework Suite is a charming set of short pieces that run a half-minute to two minutes. Wit and charm imbue these works, as they do nearly all of Getty’s music. The Ancestor Suite is apparently Getty’s homage to his European roots, consisting of waltzes, a schottische, polka-polonaise, gavotte, march, one enigmatic little piece entitled “Madeline,” and another called “Ewig Du” (“You, Forever”).

Though the music is mostly tonal, there are touches of polytonality or atonality here and there. The music is light in character but not in quality. It has sparkle, rhythmic drive, and numerous little surprises within each vignette. Conrad Tao, recipient of the 2012 Avery Fisher Career Grant, plays these works with an abundance of warmth and charm.

August 26–September 1 Hidden Handel (Naïve Discoveries V5326) Ann Hallenberg, mezzo-soprano Ii Complesso Barocco Alan Cutis, conductor This disc is the new project of Swedish mezzo-soprano Ann Hallenberg. The Handel arias and orchestral pieces span a narrow spectrum from the comparatively unfamiliar to the practically unknown.

Nine of the twelve arias are recorded here for the first time, as is the D major march.

The arias are mostly arie aggiunte, composed for insertion in later performances of existing operas to accommodate a different cast of singers.

Some of these arias have come to light only recently or have previously been inadequately identified. The interspersed instrumental works were produced for purposes still uncertain.

Yet despite the sometimes shadowy origins of this music, it is all vintage Handel, and arias such as “La crudele lontananza,” “Sa perché pena il cor,” and “Farò così più bella” rank among the composer’s most eloquent dramatic utterances.

Jazz Notes

August 4 – Jon Vickers

The dog days of August are upon us, but the jazz cats at WFIU are helping you beat the heat with a variety of moods and sounds.

Just You and Me host David Brent Johnson features music from a new set of trumpeter Woody Shaw’s 1970s and ’80s recordings every Tuesday afternoon this month, as part of that day’s recurring “Classic Jazz” theme.

On Mondays, he highlights selections from pianist Keith Jarrett’s new trio release Somewhere. On Thursday, August 29, he talks with trombonist and educator Wayne Wallace, a new member of the IU Jacobs School of Music’s jazz studies faculty.

Every Friday, Just You and Me founding host Joe Bourne returns to serve up his unique brew of blues, rock, R&B, folk, jazz, and just about any other genre that might fit that particular day’s vibe.

Stick around on Friday evenings for a long stretch of jazz and American popular song.

On Afterglow, we celebrate the centennial of arranger Axel Stordahl on August 9 with a program highlighting his collaborations with Frank Sinatra. Dick Bishop’s Standards by Starlight, featuring classic performers and songwriters such as Mel Torme and Irving Berlin, follows at 9 p.m.

At 10 p.m. Night Lights delves into historic jazz themes and figures, with shows this month that focus on musicians from Texas, recordings made at drug rehabilitation clinics, the early period of pianist Bill Evans, the 1960s comeback of clarinetist Pee Wee Russell, and the compositions of saxophonist Charlie Parker.

Finally, check out the second annual Grant Street Jazzfest in Bloomington on Saturday, August 24. WFIU will be there, helping to showcase many of south-central Indiana’s top jazz artists—the same artists that you hear every Thursday afternoon on the Indiana jazz edition of Just You and Me.

Sundays at 4 p.m.

Jon Vickers is the founding director of the IU Cinema, where he schedules film screenings, retrospectives, festivals, traveling exhibits, topical programs, and guest lectures.

August 4 Hidden Truths

In this hour of Radiolab, a series of stories about uncovering surprising truths hidden in plain sight. Errol Morris launches a sublime and somewhat ludicrous investigation into a famous war photograph, two blind men take different views on a world in front of their eyes, and the true nature of a friend is revealed after his mysterious death.

August 11 The Bad Show

We begin with a chilling statistic: Ninety percent of men, and 84 percent of women, have fantasized about killing someone. Then, we reconsider what Stanley Milgram’s famous experiment on obedience revealed about human nature.

Next we meet chemist Fritz Haber who scrambles our notions of good and evil.

We end with the story of a man who chased one of the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history, then got a chance to ask him the question that had haunted him for years: Why? August 18 Zoos In a cruel trick of evolution, humans can stand just three feet from a ferocious animal and still be perfectly safe. This hour, Radiolab goes to the zoo. Whence came our need to get close to “wildness”?

We examine where we stand in this paradox—starting with the Romans, and ending in the wilds of Belize, staring into the eyes of a wild jaguar.

August 25 Patient Zero We start with history’s most famous Patient Zero: Typhoid Mary. We then delve into a molecular detective story to pinpoint the beginning of the AIDS, wonder if you can trace the spread of an idea, and face a choice between competing claims about the origin of the high five.

Finally, we come to a perfectly sensible, thoroughly disturbing conclusion about the nature of the universe—all by way of the cowboy hat.

Storms and Salvation: The Flying Dutchman

The Flying Dutchman was a sea captain who once found himself struggling to round the Cape of Good Hope during a ferocious storm. He swore that he would succeed even if he had to sail until Judgment Day. The Devil heard his oath, and took him up on it; the Dutchman was Richard Wagner has a reputation as the condemned to stay at sea forever. His only composer of immense, four-hour-plus hope for salvation was to find a woman dramas rooted in confusing stories and who loved him enough to declare herself drawn from obscure mythology. Countless faithful to the Dutchman for life—no music lovers have found themselves matter what. To top it off, he could only drawn into Wagner’s vast musical stop sailing once every seven years, to go worlds. But there are others who find his ashore and search for that one true love. sprawling, dramatic canvases—the ones In Wagner’s opera, the Dutchman’s he called “music story is told three dramas” rather times: musically, in the than operas—to overture; poetically, be abstruse, in the famous passage forbidding, or called Senta’s Ballad; simply too long to and dramatically, in the bear. stage action as a whole.

Take My Car, Please!

Maybe you’re thinking it’s time for a new car. Or perhaps you’ve got one you just don’t drive anymore.

Whatever your situation, WFIU will turn your car into the public radio shows you love—when you donate it to WFIU’s Car Talk Vehicle Donation Services program.

Since we started the program nearly a decade ago, listeners like you have donated some 300 cars, trucks, boats, and motorcycles. The program has grown from netting $2,240 for the station the first year, to a yearly average of $10,000— funds that WFIU puts towards purchasing programming and hiring part-time staff.

Donating a vehicle for the benefit of WFIU is easy. The vehicle can be in any condition—from a clunker that doesn’t run, to one in fine operating order that’s no longer needed.

The vehicle is usually picked up within two to three days after receiving the donor’s paperwork and signed title. Cars are sold through a network of auction yards and direct buyers.

After the vehicle is sold and several fees are deducted, WFIU receives a check several months later. You receive a statement you can use as a charitable donation.

Examples from NPR stations around the county include the donation of a listener’s 1972 Porsche 911, where at a car auction it netted five figures for a local public radio station. For another station, a 1987 GMC Jimmy turned into a welcome $110.

If you want to donate your vehicle, you can start the process from our Web site, indianapublicmedia.org/support/ radio/car/.

Interested, but have questions?

The program has a customer service call center staffed with vehicle donation specialists. Whether your question is about towing, title transfers, tax receipts, or anything else, the customer service agents are there to help. Call them at 866789-8627.
