The 24 students who make up NOTUS come from a range of disciplines at the IU Jacobs School of Music, including composition, conducting, piano, organ, harpsichord, early music, and music education. In choosing pieces to perform, NOTUS emphasizes works of living and emerging composers, especially works for voices composed by Indiana University faculty and students. The ensemble’s name comes from ancient Greek mythology, referring to a wind that brings change. The concert will be conducted by NOTUS’s director, Dominick DiOrio, assistant professor of music at the Jacobs School. DiOrio supervises the master’s program in choral conducting at Jacobs, where he teaches courses in score reading, choral literature, graduate choral conducting, and the doctoral choral seminar. The associate conductor is Carlo Vincetti Frizzo and the assistant conductor and accompanist is Jaeeun Kim. In addition to conducting, DiOrio also composes, and was named Best Composer 2011 by the Houston Press for his new opera Klytemnestra. Two of his pieces will be performed on the live broadcast: Absence (2011) and O Virtus Sapientiae (2008). Other works on the program include: Tawnie Olson’s Scel lem duib (2012), Ted Hearne’s Agnus Dei from “Mass for St. Mary’s” (2008), Dale Trumbore’s The Whole Sea in Motion (2012), Caroline Adelaide Shaw’s Passacaglia from Partita for 8 Voices (2009), and Robert Vuichard’s Zephyr Rounds (2007). Five works on the program will be performed on March 21 at Weill Recital Hall in New York City as part of “a cappella NEXT!,” an event dedicated to the performance of new music for ensembles of voices. NOTUS will be one of three invited ensembles from across the country chosen to perform. To present this live broadcast, Ether Game in its entirety and part of Sounds Choral will be preempted.

Artist of the Month WFIU’s featured artist for the month of March is organist Bruce Neswick. A recitalist, composer, conductor, and teacher, Neswick joined the faculty of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music as an associate professor of music in the fall of 2011. A graduate of Pacific Lutheran University and the Yale School of Music, Neswick also studied at the Conservatoire de Musique in Geneva. His teachers have included Robert Baker, David Dahl, Gerre Hancock, Margaret Irwin-Brandon, and Lionel Rogg. Prior to his position at IU, Bruce Neswick maintained a prestigious career in church music. His previous appointments include service as the director of music at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, the canon for music at the Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta, assistant organist-choirmaster for the Girl Choristers at Washington National Cathedral, director of music at St. Albans School for Boys and the National Cathedral School for Girls, and organist
and choirmaster at Christ Church Cathedral in Lexington, Ky.; Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Geneva, Switzerland; and St. Paul’s Cathedral in Buffalo, N.Y. Neswick’s compositions for organ and chorus have been performed and recorded by numerous ensembles throughout the United States, including The Choir of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Washington D.C., and the vocal group Gloriae Dei Cantores. His music is published by Paraclete, Augsburg-Fortress, Selah, Vivace, Plymouth, and St. James presses. Recognized for his refined skill at improvisation, Neswick has given recitals throughout the United States and Europe and has been a featured performer at numerous national and regional conventions of the American Guild of Organists. He has recorded the organ works of Marcel Dupré for the Naxos label and his 1995 release for Raven Records includes works by Sowerby, Scheidemann, Bach, Distler, and Hancock. Highlighting his talent at improvisation, the recording also features an improvised organ suite.
Featured Contemporary Composer WFIU’s featured contemporary composer for the month of March is Cuban composer, guitarist, and conductor Leo Brouwer. Born in Havana in 1939, Brouwer began his instrumental studies with Cuban guitar school founder Isaac Nicola, yet pursued composition on his own. After publishing several works for guitar in 1956, he was accepted into the music department of the University of Hartford and at the Juilliard School, where he studied with Isadora Freed, J. Diemente, Joseph Iadone, Vincent Persichetti, and Stafan Wolpe. His interest in film music led to his appointment as head of the department of music in the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos (ICAIC) in 1960. Over the years, Brouwer has composed the scores for over 60 movies, including the 1993 film Like Water for Chocolate. From 1960 to 1961 he served as music advisor to the National Radio and
Leo Brouwer
Television Company in Havana, and from 1961–67 taught counterpoint, harmony, and composition at the Conservatorio Municipal in Havana. In 1969, Brouwer helped to establish the Grupo de Experimentación Sonora at ICAIC, where he has taught many contemporary figures in Cuban music. As a conductor, Brouwer has served as general director of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra for ten years and has conducted the Córdoba Orchestra in Spain since 1992. Other appointments include guest conducting positions with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Scottish National Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra, and the Mexico National Symphony Orchestra.

Bruce Neswick
Neswick was awarded first prizes at the San Anselmo Organ Festival, the Boston American Guild of Organists’ national convention, and the Rochette Concours at the Conservatoire de Musique in Geneva, Switzerland. A Fellow of the American Guild of Organists, he has served the organization as chapter dean, regional education coordinator, member of the national nominating committee, and member of the national improvisation competition committee. WFIU will feature performances by Bruce Neswick in our classical music programming throughout the month of March. Brouwer’s compositional style can be divided into three phases. Earlier works are nationalistic, utilizing traditional classical forms and the prevailing use of tonality. During the 1960s, he began to integrate modern techniques and aleatoric elements into his compositions. Brouwer describes his third phase as a return to his Afro-Cuban roots. In recent years, his compositions reflect neo-Romantic, minimalist, and newly tonal elements. In addition to his many film scores, Brouwer has also composed symphonic, chamber, and instrumental works. In 2010, the Havana String Quartet’s recording of Brouwer’s string quartets and string trio won the Latin Grammy for Best Classical Recording. His Double Concerto (Book of Signs), the latest in a series of concertos for guitar, was premiered in 2004 by John Williams and Costas Cotsiolis at the Megaron in Athens. In 1998 Brouwer was awarded the Manuel de Falla prize and he has also been the recipient of the Orden Félix Varela, the highest honor granted by the Cuban state for culture. WFIU will feature music of Leo Brouwer in our classical music programming throughout the month of March. March 2014 / Directions in Sound / Page 3
Featured Classical Recordings Selections from each week’s featured recording can be heard throughout WFIU’s local classical music programming. March 3–9 Canadian Concerto Project, Vol. 1 (MSR Classics MS1480) Nadina Mackie Jackson, bassoon Guy Few, trumpet group of twenty-seven Eric Paetkau, conductor This CD came about when bassoonist Nadina Mackie Jackson and trumpeter Guy Few realized there was almost no music for trumpet and bassoon together, though there were thousands of solo concerti for each instrument. Thanks to their efforts, there is now a significant body of music for these instruments as a duo with orchestra, by Canadian composers Mathieu Lussier, Glenn Buhr, and Michael Occhipinti. The works are performed by group of twenty-seven, a chamber orchestra comprised of some of Canada’s top musicians. This recording was named the Canadian Album of the Year in 2013. March 10–16 In 27 Pieces: the Hilary Hahn Encores (Deutsche Grammophon 0289 479 1725 0) Hilary Hahn, violin Cory Smythe, piano Violinists have plenty of vintage encores to choose from, but Hilary Hahn, one of the most artistically restless and resourceful violinists of our time, wanted more. She hatched an idea to restock the old pool of encores with fresh new pieces. The result is this CD, which consists entirely of Hahn’s commissions from living composers.

March 17–23 The Shining River (Opus Arte OACD9016D) Susan Chilcott, soprano Iain Burnside, piano Until her untimely death from breast cancer at age 40, Susan Chilcott was among the outstanding lyric sopranos of her generation. Her captivating stage presence, dramatic vitality, and vocal poetry created memorable portrayals of heroines in Verdi, Janáček, and Britten, among others. Her last recording was of songs by Copland, acclaimed at the time of its first release for her authority and youthful vitality. This recital is now complemented by a range of Shakespeareinspired songs from Berlioz to Dominick Argento, never previously released.
Jazz Notes Is it spring yet? Can we finally turn off the Weather Channel? (Maybe not: Tornado season is just around a windy corner.) Come snow or come shine, WFIU’s jazz department will forge ahead, focusing on Women’s History Month with a variety of features. On Thursday, March 6, pianist and jazz educator Monika Herzig will drop by WFIU’s weekday afternoon jazz program Just You and Me to spin some CDs by her favorite women jazz artists.
March 24–30 Dvořák (Decca 0289 478 5705 1) Alisa Weilerstein, cello Czech Philharmonic Orchestra Jiří Bělohlávek, conductor Alisa Weilerstein, described by the New York Times as one of the most exciting American cellists of the new generation, presents a new interpretation of Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, coupled with some of his best-known melodies. This album captures Dvořák’s spirit, reflecting his deep-rooted love for his homeland. Weilerstein joins forces with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and its music director Jiří Bělohlávek in a deeply authentic musical partnership recorded in Prague’s Rudolfinum, where Dvořák himself conducted the Czech Philharmonic’s inaugural concert in 1896. Other works on the album were recorded in the U.S., Dvořák’s adopted second homeland.

Our Friday-evening shows Afterglow and Night Lights will also devote several episodes to celebrating women in jazz. On March 7, Afterglow will pay tribute to big band singer Helen Forrest, while Night Lights covers the wide lifetime arc of pianist and composer-arranger Mary Lou Williams’ music. On March 14, Night Lights highlights “Jazz Women of the 1960s,” and on March 21 Afterglow features Sarah Vaughan’s take on the Duke Ellington songbook. Finally, our jazz artist of the month for March is pianist Joanne Brackeen. In 1969 Brackeen became the first woman ever to play with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, and she went on to make 25 albums as a leader and to teach at the Berklee College of Music. Her music has been described as “harmonically advanced, creatively complex, and rhythmically adventuresome.” We’ll feature Brackeen’s recordings throughout the month on Just You and Me.

Radiolab
Sundays at 11 a.m. March 2 Sleep Every creature on the planet sleeps—from humpback whales to fruit flies. Yet science still can’t answer the basic question: Why? 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 9 After Life What happens after we die? Radiolab stares down the very moment of passing, and asks what might be on the other side with eleven meditations on how, when, and even if we die—including a short story by neuroscientist David Eagleman read by actor Jeffrey Tambor. March 16 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. March 23 Pop Music Some pop songs have the nefarious power to stick mercilessly in our heads, and some songs have the transcendent allure to overcome cultural differences. We ask how songwriters create these songs seemingly out of the ether, listen in on the music a deaf man hears, and examine the timeless appeal of the Elvis of Afghanistan. March 30 Apocalyptical We all know what happened to the dinosaurs, right? Well, at least we thought we did. In this episode, Radiolab turns the clock back 66 million years to tell a story of cataclysmic destruction and surprising survival. Along the way, we get to meet our great-, great-, great-, great-, great- (etc.) grand-mother, and a few other surprise guests. March 2014 / Directions in Sound / Page 5

If you’re a fan of the public radio game show Says You! then mark your calendar for May 3rd. That’s when host Richard Sher and WFIU will bring the program to Bloomington’s Buskirk-Chumley Theater for two hours of wit and whimsy, bluff and bluster. Sher is calling the live taping “Hoosier Dada—Abstract Wit and Wordplay from Says You!”
Says You! host Richard Sher
Says You! is a simple game with words played by two three-person teams in front of live, enthusiastic audiences. For nearly two decades the program has offered listeners the best quips, quotes, and questions that public radio has to offer, all scored to the rhythms of musical guest performers. Dozens of categories pique your curiosity, among them Cryptic Puns, What’s the Difference, and Odd Man Out. At the core of the game are the bluffing rounds where three definitions are given for a mystery word, only one of which is the true meaning.
Says You! panelists
Says You! airs on WFIU HD1 at noon every Saturday. Because of strong listener support, WFIU recently expanded the weekly program from 30 minutes to an hour. For ticket availability or more information, visit the Says You! website (saysyou.net) or the Buskirk-Chumley box office (buskirkchumley.org).
WFIU Series Perfect Match Explores Disabilities German tenor Jonas Kaufmann stars in the title role of The Metropolitan Opera and the Arts broadcast of Werther on Saturday, March WFIU has launched a new series of reports that focus on the arts as they relate to Indiana residents with disabilities. The year-long series will ultimately comprise at least twelve reports to be broadcast over the course of a year during Morning Edition, Performance Today, and All Things Considered. The series will share a range of stories, from those about professional artists who live with a disability but consider it incidental to their work, to people who use the arts in a therapeutic context. The WFIU Arts Desk producers will cast a broad net across the state and across genres—from the visual arts to music, theatre, literature, dance, and design. The series started airing in February with a story about a unique drama therapy program that brings together adults who have intellectual disabilities with other members of the community in the production I Am You, which debuts early this month at the Bloomington Playwrights Project. Working together with experts in the field—including those at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community at IU, the Indiana Arts Commission, and VSA Indiana—WFIU Arts producers will identify artists across the state who are living with disabilities of all kinds, from physical handicaps to cognitive/ psychological issues such as PTSD and dementia. The features will be archived with expanded audio content, along with pictures and text, on our website, wfiu. org/arts. WFIU will also make the features available for broadcast among the Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations. The series is funded by a Challenge America FastTrask Media Arts grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. WFIU is looking forward to sharing stories that expand our understanding of the value of art in all of our lives. We invite interested artists, administrators, and others working in this dynamic field to share their ideas with WFIU Arts Desk Editor Yaël Ksander at yksander@indiana.edu.

15 at 1 p.m. He spoke to the Met’s Philipp Brieler. What attracted you to the role of Werther? What attracts me is the challenge to make a character like Werther understandable and likeable for the audience. He is a manicdepressive who falls in love with a girl who is promised to another guy. I don’t think it’s easy for a modern audience to like him. If you put too much weight on the suffering, you risk that people will say, “Oh, come on, get over it!” But to me, he is a likeable guy: this is his first love, and he suffers because he isn’t prepared for the pains of unhappy love. I balance the suffering and self-destruction with his religious faith, his fascination with the miracles of nature, and all those things we think of as Romanticism.
Brigitte Lacombe/Metropolitan Opera
Says You! Coming to Bloomington
Jonas Kaufmann as the title character in Werther
How would you characterize the role vocally? Like most tenor roles in the French repertoire, Werther is both lyrical and dramatic—sometimes sweet and soft, sometimes very passionate, even aggressive. Do you see a difference between Massenet’s Werther and Goethe’s? I think Goethe and Massenet are a far better match than, say, Goethe and Gounod. If you look at Faust, the characters in the opera are pretty far away from Goethe, whereas Massenet got really close to the specific style of the novel. I doubt that any German composer would have been able to capture as many of its colors and emotions as vividly as Massenet did.

April showers may bring May flowers, but the month also brings the task of filing income taxes by Tax Day: Tuesday, April 15th. Most of us would like to take advantage of our charitable contributions on our federal income tax return, but we might not have enough deductions to itemize. If that describes your situation, you may want to know about a program that allows a state tax deduction for contributions made to an Indiana state college. Since Indiana University is a state college, and because WFIU is licensed to Indiana University, your contributions to WFIU qualify under this program. If, for example, you were to make a $400 gift to WFIU, you could claim a $200 tax credit on your Indiana state taxes (if you file jointly), and up to $100 in credit on a $200 gift if you file singly. That credit comes right off the top of what you owe in state taxes. Take advantage of this tax benefit by filling out Form CC40. It’s money back in your pocket. To discuss ways of making a tax-advantaged gift to WFIU, contact Gifts and Grants Officer Nancy Krueger at (812) 855-2935 or at nkrueger@indiana.edu. Additional information on other ways to make a gift can be found at wfiu.org/support.
