Billed as a “journey to the past that begins right around the corner,” Hometown takes listeners on a weekly trip to Terre Haute, Indiana in the summer of 1926. The show was the brainchild of singer-songwriter-historian-raconteur Tom Roznowski—a man of many hats, all of them fedoras.

Working with nothing more than the human voice, Tom was able to kindle the imagination. As with Brigadoon or Lake Wobegon, listeners were transported to a place they might never have visited, but which they all recognized and treasured. His programs had intriguing, poetic titles: “Today it Will be Plums,” “Shoedabakers,” and “Elephants at Dawn.”

The idea for Hometown came about after Tom came across a book of photographs published by the IU Press: On the Banks of the Wabash—Terre Haute, Indiana 1900-1950.

“The pictures were very evocative,” he says. “Corner grocery stores, Labor Day parades, minor league baseball. Front porch conversations, fireflies in a jar—the quintessential American hometown.”

Tom discovered that the town once known as “The Crossroads of America” embodied many of the characteristics we now associate with the classic American hometown. Terre Haute in 1926 also contained a private orphanage, a county poor farm, and segregated drinking fountains. Somewhere amidst all of this, he thought, were stories about life in America.

You can hear the three-and-a-half-minute episodes of Hometown on the Hometown Web site: hometown.indiana.edu.

You can also order CDs, including a Hometown compilation CD that includes a specially-chosen selection of episodes, by calling 812-855-1357 during business hours.

There’s also Hometown television documentary produced by WTIU: Hometown: A Journey through Terre Haute, Indiana. On the 45-minute DVD, Tom takes viewers on an improvisational tour of Terre Haute in 1926 via an in-depth look at six historic buildings. To order, go to indianapublicmedia.org/shop, and type “Hometown” in the Search box, or call Laura Grannan at 812855-6114.

Meanwhile, fans of Hometown shouldn’t worry too much as Tom wraps up this long-running series. There is evidence that he’s at work on a new project focusing on the lives of Hoosiers across the 20th century. Stay tuned!

Artist of the Month Featured WFIU’s featured artist of the month for Contemporary March is gambist, early music specialist, and Professor of Music Wendy Gillespie.

Composer Gillespie specializes in historicallyinformed performance of the viola da gamba, an instrument that is bowed like a violin but has frets like a guitar.

She performs music from the medieval, renaissance, and baroque periods, as well as contemporary works.

Gillespie has stated that her love for the viol comes from the nature of the repertoire: “I enjoy music for many equal voices conversing together . . . for me it is the polyphony that is most important.”

A former member of the viol consorts Fretwork and Phantasm, Gillespie has shared nominations for Gramophone and Grammy awards, as well as a French Grand Prix du Disque. She has also performed with other early music ensembles including the English Concert and Ensemble Sequentia.

Wendy Gillespie

As a performer in these ensembles, Gillespie has an extensive catalog of recordings, on the Harmonia Mundi, EMI Virgin Classics, and BIS labels. She is also active as a teacher of workshops in early music throughout the United States and in Europe.

At IU, Gillespie serves as a member of the executive board of the Medieval Studies Institute. As a member of the faculty of IU’s Early Music Institute, she teaches early music performance, early bowed strings, and historical notation. She is a past president of the Viola da Gamba Society of America.

WFIU will feature performances by Wendy Gillespie in our classical music programming throughout the month of March.

WFIU’s featured contemporary composer for March is Adolphus Hailstork.

Hailstork is a professor of music and eminent scholar at Old Dominion University in Virginia. He was educated at Michigan State University, the Manhattan School of Music, and Howard University. In 1963, he studied with Nadia Boulanger Adolphus Hailstork at the American Institute in Fontainebleau, France.

His music is predominantly tonal, though it bears the modern influences of Boulanger, and teachers who include David Diamond and H. Owen Reed. He works in numerous genres, from chamber music, to orchestral compositions, to organ music and opera.

Theatrical works and choral music have made up an important part of Hailstork’s compositional output. One of his early successes was a musical comedy called The Race for Space, performed while he was still a senior at Howard University.

His most recent opera, Rise for Freedom, premiered in Cincinnati in 2007.

Hailstork’s music has been performed by ensembles including the Chicago Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, and The Philadelphia Orchestra. He is the recipient of numerous commissions, including one from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for his Second Symphony and one from the Opera Theatre of St. Louis and Kansas City Lyric Opera for his second opera, Joshua’s Boots.

In 2003, the Virginia Chamber Players released a CD of Hailstork’s music on the Albany label. A 2007 Naxos release includes his second and third symphonies, performed by the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra under David Lockington.

WFIU will feature compositions by Adolphus Hailstork throughout the month of March.

March 3 Inheritance A child’s genetic fate is pretty much sealed at birth. Or is it? This hour, we discover how outside forces can find a way inside us, shaping our hearts, minds, and the basic biological blueprint that we pass on to future generations.

March 10 Lucy Chimps. Bonobos. Humans. We’re all great apes, but that doesn’t mean we’re one happy family. This hour, stories of trying to live together. Is this kind of crossspecies co-habitation an utterly stupid idea? Or might it be our one last hope as more and more humans fill up the planet?

March 17 Sleep Every creature on the planet sleeps—from humpback whales to fruit flies. Yet science still can’t answer the basic question: Why do we sleep? We take a peek at iguanas sleeping with one eye open, get in bed with a pair of sleep-deprived new parents, and eavesdrop on the uneasy dreams of rats.

March 24 Stress Stress may save your life if you’re being chased by a tiger. But if you’re stuck in traffic, it may be more likely to make you sick. This hour, a close look at the body’s system for getting out of trouble. We talk to a Stanford University neurologist about the mechanics of stress and methods of coping. Plus: the story of a singer who lost her voice, and an author stuck in a body that never grew up.

March 31 Bliss Moments of total bliss are not easy to come by. Maybe that’s what makes them feel so life-altering when they strike. This hour: stories of striving for happiness, perfection, and ideals. We meet a 19thcentury farmer who takes the world’s first photograph of a snowflake in an attempt to capture a perpetually fleeting perfection.

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.

March 4–10 Anthology Live 2000-2010 (14-CD Box Set) (RCO LIVE Worldwide RCO12004) Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Various conductors Have you been missing Live! At the Concertgebouw since Radio Netherlands Worldwide was forced to pull the plug last fall? If so, here are 14 discs packed with some of the best performances from the acclaimed Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra that should tide you over a while.

This volume brings their Anthology series mostly up to date, and includes many performances that would have been heard over the life of the now defunct radio program. A wide variety of repertoire and conductors is represented, from Claus Peter Flor conducting Diepenbock’s Elektra suite to Ivan Fischer and Mozart’s “Jupiter” symphony. The box set includes a 144-page, threelanguage booklet complete with concert notes and texts of all vocal and choral works.

March 11–17 The Unknown Purcell (Chandos Chaconne Chan 0795) Hazel Brooks, violin David Pollock, harpsichord Daniel Purcell followed a similar trajectory to his more famous relative Henry Purcell, but he never quite achieved the same level Page 4 / Directions in Sound / March 2013

of recognition. It was long thought that Daniel and Henry were brothers. He does call Henry his “brother” in a preface to one of his scores, but at the time, the title “brother” could refer to cousins in the immediate family circle. It is much more likely that Daniel was the son of Henry’s uncle, Thomas. His birth date is unknown, but he flourished following Henry’s death in 1695.

It is also incorrectly assumed that much of Daniel’s musical style was determined by the style of his “brother,” but he lived for another 20 years after Henry’s death, adapting to the changing style of England in the early 18th century, including the new Italian-style cantata and the solo instrumental sonata.

On this recording, Hazel Brooks and David Pollock seek to restore a bit of the notoriety that Daniel achieved in his lifetime through the performance of sixteen short works, both for solo harpsichord and violin with continuo.

March 18–24 Variations (Sony Classical 88765 42086 2) Emmanuel Ax, piano From a string of early career successes in the 1970s, Emanuel Ax has emerged as one of the most versatile and universally respected pianists on the international concert scene. It’s been three years since Ax has released a commercial recording and almost eight since he recorded as a

soloist. On this most recent CD, he takes a fresh look at three sets of variations that outline a portion of the development of that form, from the Classical through the mid-Romantic.

Joseph Haydn’s Variations in f (Sonata) was a forward-looking composition that moved the idea of harmony into what would become the Romantic era. Beethoven’s “Eroica” Variations are presented here within their frame of reference as they foreshadowed the Symphony No. 3, from which they take their nickname. And finally, Robert Schumann’s Symphonic Études round out the triptych showing off Ax’s amazing technical ability as well as Schumann’s masterful work within the theme and variations form.

March 25–March 31 Passion & Resurrection: Music Inspired by Holy Week (harmonia mundi HMU 80755) Stile Antico Stile Antico’s seventh recording focuses on the dramatic events of Holy Week, retracing in music the journey from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. Twelve different composers are represented in an enthralling program with music from the English, Flemish, and Spanish Renaissance.

At the heart of the disc are twin settings of the often overlooked medieval carol Woefully Arrayed: one by William Cornysh and one commissioned in 2009 for Stile Antico by British composer John McCabe and recorded here for the first time.

The ensemble shines in their performances of the usual suspects with regard to similarly themed programs.

Of particular note are Tavener’s Dum transisset and Gibbon’s Hosanna to the Son of David.

Don’t Kill ALL the Lawyers, I’ll Give You a Short List by Jack McIntosh Airs: March 18 to 29 From his childhood in Charleston, South Carolina, to his adventures in the military, law school, and as a small-town lawyer, Jack McIntosh serves up a collection of humorous tales and reflections from his life and his 50-plus-year law career.

The book opens with a few stories from McIntosh’s boyhood in Charleston, where he shared an attic bedroom with a ghost.

He served in the Marines, was an army tank platoon commander in Korea, and got his education at Furman University and the University of South Carolina Law School.

His experiences in law and life include the surprise arrival of twin boys shortly after starting practice, being threatened with castration by an ornery farmer, and getting a Mother’s Day greeting from an inmate of the prison system.

McIntosh also relates some tales told to him by others, including John and Walter Hood, the attorneys Jack McIntosh who served as his mentors when he was a young man.

He concludes with advice for young people considering a law career, with the overriding message that “A lawyer is a lawyer all day long.”

Bonnie Williams, editorial page editor of the Anderson, South Carolina Independent Mail, calls the book “A delight . . . a warm and witty memoir from a gentle and gifted philosopher on lawyering, listening, and living life the way it was intended—to its fullest.”

Parsifal—A Story of Renewal

For complete details, visit membercard.com/wfiu or call 800-662-3311.

The Metropolitan Opera presents an exciting new production of Wagner’s Parsifal on Saturday, March 2, at 12 p.m.

Any performance of Parsifal is an event, and was never meant to be anything less. Wagner didn’t intend the opera to be a repertory piece—he called it a Bühnenweihfestspiel, or “stage consecrating festival play,” and audiences at the 1882 Bayreuth premiere certainly felt they had participated in something momentous and transforming.

It is this sense of urgency—of transformation and renewal for an audience in the here and now—that director François Girard aimed for in his new Met production, which opens in this bicentennial year of Wagner’s birth.

Renewal is the central theme of Parsifal, which tells the story of a young man who knows little about who he is. A “pure fool,” as a prophecy has described him, he encounters an ailing brotherhood of knights and an enigmatic woman living out an ancient curse. His path through suffering to enlightenment eventually leads him to the fulfillment of his destiny: He will become king of the knights of the Holy Grail, reinvigorating this mystical order, which has fallen into a sort of encrusted impotence.

The Met has assembled a remarkable cast for the new production, including some of today’s most acclaimed Wagnerians. In the title role, tenor Jonas Kaufmann takes on his second Wagner assignment with the company, following his success as Siegmund in Die Walküre two seasons ago.

“Jonas is the dream for Parsifal,” Girard declares. “He can sing the music better than anyone, but he also has acting skills that we don’t always see in singers.”

Katarina Dalayman, whose Met credits include both Brangäne and Isolde in Tristan und Isolde and Brünnhilde in the Ring, is Kundry, and the world’s leading Wagnerian bass, René Pape, sings Gurnemanz.

The original production was considered sacrosanct for decades. German law backed up Bayreuth’s exclusive rights to Parsifal, and other theaters maintained the embargo out of respect for the Wagner family.

But one opera house didn’t: the Met, which gave the first staged performance of

the work outside Bayreuth on Christmas Eve, 1903. It was a huge scandal, and all singers who appeared in the production were effectively banned from Bayreuth.

But in spite of the hubbub—or perhaps, in part, because of it—the Met production was a great success.

Few works of theater offer a wider range of ideas than Wagner’s final work.

Director Girard’s goal—and, it seems, the composer’s as well—is to tell a universal story.

“Parsifal is a sacred piece in the history of music,” says François Girard. “I hope that the contemporary costumes will add to the impression that this is not the story of a distant monastery. It’s us. It’s our suffering, our temptation, our weakness, the violent impulses in us.”

Wagner, who had become interested in Buddhism in the 1850s after reading the works of Arthur Schopenhauer, at one point planned a Buddhist-themed opera but eventually abandoned the project.

Aspects of it survive in Parsifal in the character of the seemingly ageless Kundry.

Girard points out that people have strayed too far from Wagner’s warning about a primarily Christian reading of the work.

“I think Parsifal has been overly depicted as a Christian drama,” he says.

“There are strong references—the mass, the wounds of Christ, the Grail, the holy spear. But it also has a very distinct Buddhist and, I would even say, nihilist foundation. We’re trying very hard to rebalance that in our approach.”

An Easy and Painless Way Would you like to make a charitable gift, but fear you can’t afford to do so?

W IU wfiu.org

This month on WTIU television.

There’s a simple, easy way to make a gift to your public radio station that doesn’t affect your cash flow.

In fact, you will never miss it. Just name WFIU as a beneficiary in your retirement plan or life insurance policy. You can assign whatever percentage you choose as a gift, and the rest goes to your spouse or other heirs.

PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING SUPPORT Indiana University CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP

• Pre-tax retirement funds can be taxed heavily when left to heirs at the death of the owner—meaning less inheritance for a sibling, child, or partner (“non-spousal” heirs).

Retirement funds designated to a non-profit organization are not taxed, making it a good asset to direct to charity.

• Designating a percentage of your retirement plan assets or insurance policy to WFIU does not reduce the amount of funds available for you to spend during your lifetime.

• The decision is a revocable choice that you can implement without a lawyer, and amend just as easily should your circumstances change.

• Naming WFIU as a beneficiary in your plan or policy may be accomplished by requesting a change of beneficiary form from your plan or policy holder.

It’s an easy, painless way to express support and appreciation for the meaningful community resource that WFIU represents throughout south central Indiana.

If you decide to include WFIU as a beneficiary in your retirement plan, insurance policy, or will, please let us know so that we may recognize your generosity.

For more information, contact Nancy Krueger, Gifts and Grants Officer at Radio-Television Services, at 812855-2935 or nkrueger@indiana.edu.
