Featured Contemporary Composer
David Ludwig
WFIU’s featured contemporary composer for the month of August is David Ludwig. Born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Ludwig comes from several generations of eminent musicians. His grandfather was the pianist Rudolf Serkin and his greatgrandfather, violinist Adolf Busch. His teachers include John Corigliano, Richard Danielpour, Jennifer Higdon, Richard Hoffmann, and Ned Rorem. He holds degrees from Oberlin, The Manhattan School, Curtis Institute, Juilliard School, and a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania. Ludwig is on the composition faculty of the Curtis Institute where he serves as the Gie and Lisa Liem Dean of Artistic Programs and as the director of the Curtis 20/21 Contemporary Music Ensemble. In 2013 his choral work The New Colossus was selected to open the private prayer service for President Obama and his cabinet at his second inauguration. He recently completed an extensive tour with the East Coast Chamber Orchestra; had a new work performed by violinist Benjamin Beilman that was commissioned by Carnegie Hall; and saw the premiere of his bassoon concerto Pictures from the Floating World with Daniel Matsukawa and conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin, commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Ludwig has received commissions and notable performances from many of the most recognized artists and ensembles
of our time, such as the Grammy Awardwinning group eighth blackbird, who commissioned his work Haiku Catharsis. Recent commissions include Lunaire Variations for Jonathan Biss, Five Ladino Songs for Lara St. John, Josquin Microludes for the PRISM Saxophone Quartet, Seasons Lost for Jennifer Koh and Jaime Laredo, Kantigas for Hannah Khoury, Jason Vieaux, and Hafez Khotein at World Café Live, and Aria Fantasy for the 25th anniversary of the Steans Institute at Ravinia. Ludwig joined the Curtis On Tour Ensemble in 2009 for a series of concerts that won critical acclaim for his song-cycle From the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayám. Past seasons have featured performances with the Minnesota Orchestra, the National Symphony, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and the Dresden Music Festival with Robert Spano conducting Fanfare for Sam. In 2006 Ludwig conducted a tour of his Concertino, one of the top ten mostfrequently performed orchestra works by a living composer that year, according to the League of American Orchestras. Ludwig is the recipient of the Theodore Presser Foundation Career Grant, as well as grants from the American Composers Forum, the American Music Center, the Detroit Chamber Winds, and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia released a CD of his complete works for chorus in 2012. Ludwig was the Young Composer in residence at the Marlboro Music School for three consecutive years. In addition to Marlboro, he has been in repeated residence at the Yaddo and MacDowell artist colonies and was a resident artist at the Isabella Gardner Museum. After a three-year residency with the Vermont Symphony funded by Meet the Composer, he is now the permanent New Music Advisor for that orchestra. He is the composer-in-residence and director of composition programs at the Atlantic Music Festival, Lake Champlain Festival, and the Lake George Festival. Upcoming projects include a violin and orchestra piece commissioned by the Mobile Symphony for Bella Hristova, a new work for the Dover quartet, and piece for the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio. WFIU will feature music of David Ludwig in our classical music programming throughout the month of August.

Folktales Saturdays at 10 p.m.
Join host-producer Julia Meek of Northeast Indiana Public Radio as she explores how folk traditions are passed down through music. August 2 Devotion “To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.” That philosophy comes from India’s former president, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, and sets the stage for this week’s folk tour of inspirational music from every corner of the folk world. August 9 Recreation To borrow a notion from Jimmy Buffet, “Fun is about as good a habit as there is.” This week, a downtime tour of musical customs that highlight leisurely pastimes from the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Kick back, take it easy, and get ready for the fun to begin. August 16 Peak Experience According to mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary, “It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” That lofty thought is the path we travel this week on Folktales, by way of high altitude musical traditions across the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. It’s a mountain of good music you won’t want to miss. August 23 Brave Journeys In the words of the Buddha, “Your work is to discover your world and then, with all your heart, give yourself up to it.” We pave the way for you this week with musical offerings of encouragement and enlightenment from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and India. August 30 Joy As they say in many a folk world, “Joy is a flower that blooms when you do.” This week’s edition of Folktales is a lighthearted trek around the musical globe to prove that very point.

August 3 Memory and Forgetting This hour of Radiolab, a look behind the curtain of how memories are made and forgotten. Remembering is an unstable and profoundly unreliable process—it’s a matter of easy come, easy go. We learn how true memories can be obliterated, and false ones added. Oliver Sacks joins us to tell the story of an amnesiac whose love for his wife and music transcend his sevensecond memory. August 10 Lucy Chimps. Bonobos. Humans. We’re all great apes, but that doesn’t mean we’re one happy family. This hour of Radiolab we bring you stories of trying to live together. Is this kind of cross-species cohabitation a stupid idea? Or might it be our one last hope as more and more humans fill up the planet? A chimp named Lucy teaches us the ups and downs of growing up human; and a visit to The Great Ape Trust in Des Moines, Iowa highlights some of the basics of bonobo culture—be careful, they bite. August 17 60 Words This hour we pull apart one sentence, written in the hours after September 11th, 2001, that has led to the longest war in U.S. history. We examine how just 60 words of legal language have blurred the line between war and peace. August 24 Escape The walls are closing in, you’ve got no way out . . . and then, suddenly, you escape! This hour, stories about traps, getaways, perpetual cycles, and staggering breakthroughs. August 31 Loops Our lives are filled with loops that hurt us, heal us, make us laugh, and, sometimes leave us wanting more. This hour, Radiolab investigates the strange things that emerge when something happens, then happens again, and again, and . . . well, again. Page 4 / Directions in Sound / August 2014

Ross Begins July 31 At the turn of the twentieth century two new technologies—the car and airplane— took the nation’s imagination by storm. The brave souls that leaped into these dangerous contraptions and pushed them to unexplored extremes became new American heroes: the racecar driver and the flying ace. No individual did more to create these new roles than Eddie Rickenbacker, who defied death with such courage and pluck that a generation of Americans came to know his face better than the President’s. The son of poor, German-speaking Swiss immigrants in Columbus, Ohio, Rickenbacker overcame the specter of his father’s violent death, a debilitating handicap, and, later, accusations of being a German spy, to become the American military ace of aces in World War I and a Medal of Honor recipient. He and his high-spirited, all-tooshort-lived pilot comrades created a new kind of aviation warfare, as they pushed their machines to the edge of destruction— and often over it—without parachutes, radios, or radar. Enduring Courage is the electrifying story of the beginning of America’s love affair with speed—and how one man above all the rest showed a nation the way forward. No simple daredevil, he was also a squadron commander, innovator on the racetrack, and founder of Eastern Air Lines. Decades after his heroics against the Red Baron’s Flying Circus, he again showed a war-weary nation what it took to survive against great odds when he and seven others endured a three-week ordeal adrift without food or water in the Pacific during World War II.

Jazz Notes Yes, it’s August, that month of lazy summer decline. Around the WFIU jazz department we are determined to avoid bad puns about dog days or beating the heat with cool jazz. We’re simply going to advise you to tune in to Just You and Me every weekday afternoon from 3:30-5 p.m. for modern, classic, and Indiana jazz, as well as live recordings and your jazz requests each Wednesday. WFIU’s Friday-evening jazz-and-popular-song lineup will help you see the end of summer through as well, with Afterglow kicking things off at 8 p.m. This month’s features include an offering of singer Dinah Washington’s late-night jazz-ballad recordings and Sarah Vaughan’s take on the Duke Ellington songbook. Standards by Starlight with Dick Bishop follows at 9. Is there a cooler customer than Dick around any public-radio joint in the world? Frankly, we haven’t even bothered to look lately. Dick’s class act is followed at 10 p.m. with Night Lights. This month we’ll mark the anniversary of Louis Armstrong’s birth with “It’s All in the Game,” focusing on the trumpeter’s career in the decade following the end of World War II. Jazz critic Dan Morgenstern and Indiana University history professor Michael McGerr provide commentary. We’ll also delve into the big-band recordings of Charlie Parker, the comeback of pianist Bill Evans after the death of a key sideman, and the career of bebop-to-hardbop trumpeter Kenny Dorham. Jazz at Lincoln Center and Jazz with Bob Parlocha round out the Friday-evening lineup, giving you a diverse perspective on the past and present of the music.

Fans Celebrate Ten Years of Focus on Flowers
(l to r) Betty Rose Nagle, Moya Andrews, and Joan Padawan at Focus on Flowers’ tenth anniversary party
Ten years ago, when Moya Andrews began recording WFIU’s gardening program Focus on Flowers, the hardest part was pronouncing the botanical names of flowers. “Brachybotrys,” “pomeridianus,” and “cochleariifolia” don’t exactly come tripping off the tongue. “I avoided the hard-to-pronounce flowers,” she recalls, “and stuck to the easy ones. But as time went by, those were a dwindling group, and I was getting quite desperate.” Moya, an emeritus professor of Speech and Hearing Sciences at IU, turned to her friend and walking partner Betty Rose Nagle for help. Nagle is a retired IU professor of classic Greek and Latin who Moya calls “Focus on Flowers’ technical and language advisor.” “I would spell the word, and Betty Rose would tell me how to pronounce it. It was such a relief.” Moya recalled the beginnings of Focus on Flowers during a party at her Bloomington home to celebrate the program’s ten-year anniversary, which was attended by some fifty fans of the program. WFIU/WTIU General Manager Perry Metz told the group how he had worked with Moya when she was a vice-chancellor for academic affairs and then and dean of the faculties. “That’s where Moya brought her master gardening skills,” Metz said. “She taught me early that tending administrators was a lot like tending flowers. Some of them need a great deal of attention, and a few need to be clipped regularly.” After Moya’s retirement, she began creating Focus on Flowers in March of 2004. She says now that she never
imagined she would be doing the show for 10 years. So far she has written and recorded 553 two-minute episodes. Former IU vice-president for international programs Patrick O’Meara, a long-time friend and colleague of Moya’s, told the group, “I cannot grow anything, so I have appreciated Moya’s work for years.” “In fact, I wake up to Moya some mornings on WFIU with the little tinkling music in the background and some exotic plant that I have never heard of.” O’Meara told a story about a time when he was at Kroger during a severe rainstorm, “a heavy, tropical downpour” as he called it, “and Moya emerged with a huge shopping basket filled with plants. ‘These plants are on sale’ she said. ‘I couldn’t resist them.’” O’Meara recognized Moya “for brightening so many lives, and for the ripple effect of the flowers that people have grown that is evident all over this town.”
Rita Grunwald, Moya Andrews receiving a gift bottle of wine, and Patrick O’Meara
Focus on Flowers got its start when Perry Metz brought Moya’s love of flowers to WFIU’s then station manager Christina Kuzmych, and asked her if she felt it had radio potential. “Once I heard Moya talk about gardening,” Christina recalled in an e-mail read to the group by WFIU Station Operations Director Will Murphy, “I was convinced that we had a winner. It was an idea that could start on radio and move online with endless opportunities.” “Moya was a joy to work with,” Christina added. “She never missed a recording date and always came prepared. No one can wax poetic about the innards of a flower as can Moya Andrews.” Moya gets most of her ideas for Focus on Flowers episodes based on what’s blooming in her garden at the time. And friends will give her ideas or share books with her that they think will take root as a program idea.
Greensburg 98.9 fm • Kokomo 106.1 fm • Terre Haute 95.1 fm
She also does pieces on gardens she has visited or read about. A recent episode was inspired by a trip to the Disney World flower show that resulted in an episode about the Disney style of landscaping. “But most of the best ideas come while working in my garden. I’ll be pulling out some kind of noxious weed and think, ‘Oh, I can talk about this next week.’” Listeners send Moya comments, mostly questions about gardening problems. One comment from a disconcerted listener stands out in her mind. “Someone reacted to my saying incorrectly that the national flower of Jamaica was the hibiscus. I had been to a hibiscus garden in Malaysia where there was a sign that said the hibiscus was the state flower of Hawaii and the national flower of both Jamaica and Malaysia. I mentioned this in a program without double checking the facts and learned a valuable lesson!” Can fans of Focus on Flowers look forward to another decade of delightful floral excursions? “I will keep doing it as long as I can,” Moya insists. “I hope to keep going until I run out of flowers or drop in my flower bed.” Focus on Flowers is heard on WFIU1 Thursdays and Fridays at 3:25 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays at 6:57 a.m.
Live from Studio 3 Cuarteto Tanguero performed live during a June broadcast of Classical Music with George Walker. The quartet performed Astor Piazzolla’s “Fuga y Misterio,” a piece that incorporates baroque fugue form with tango accentuation; and Eduardo Arolas’s “Comme il Faut,” a tango from the 1920s. They played the song in the style of Carlos Di Sarli’s orchestra, a prominent orchestra of the golden age of tango (19451955). The quartet consists of pianist Daniel Inamorato, bassist Matt McConahay, violinist Daniel Stein, and bandoneonist Ben Bogart.

Put Your Old Car to Good Use 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. 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 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 website, 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 855-277-2346. “You guys did a great job with my car donation. The process took less time than getting my morning coffee! Helping a charity felt great and the tax deduction ended up being bigger than I expected.” – Jan L.
