This year, WFIU’s early music program Harmonia celebrates its platinum anniversary.

Hosted from its inception by performer and scholar Angela Mariani, for two decades Harmonia has taken you to stone cathedrals, lively fairs, and dramatic stages of the past—offering musical history as told through the eyes and ears by the musicians of those long ago times.

Harmonia’s national syndication began in 1995, with more than eighty stations signing on in the first week. The first press kits to market the show to stations nationally were produced and assembled by hand over several late nights by Angela Mariani, then-Marketing Director Cary Boyce, then-Station Manager Christina Kuzmych, and a few sturdy volunteers (all who claim they are still trying to get the glue out of their hair). By 2000, Harmonia could be heard on over 150 public radio stations nationwide.

Today, Harmonia is still going strong. In addition to the regular series, WFIU’s Harmonia production team produces several special programs each year that are also syndicated nationally. The program is offered nationally through radio, and globally through the Harmonia Web site, blog, and free weekly podcasts.

You can join us in celebrating 20 years of superb early music on public radio by tuning in Thursdays at 9 p.m. and Sundays at noon. You can also hear archived programs at wfiu.org under the Programs tab.

Happy Birthday, Harmonia! May you long continue to cast new light on the music of the distant past.

The annual WFIU Listener Reception is taking place Friday, October 28, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the IU Art Museum. Admission is free.

Mingle with your fellow listeners and the folks from WFIU against the backdrop of the newly-renovated Art Museum atrium, next door to the Radio-TV Services building on the IU campus that we call Jean Kautt and Steve Llewellyn at the 2010 Listener Reception home.

Terry’s Banquets and Catering, Oliver Winery, and the Bloomington Brewing Company will provide light refreshments.

And since we’ll be right around the corner from Halloween—and that evening’s 7 p.m. broadcast of the new WFIU documentary Unearthing Dracula—there might be a spooky surprise or two in store!

Intelligence Squared

Concerts from Music Mountain

Sunday, October 2, 8 p.m.

Sundays at 9 p.m.

Sustainable Cities— There’s an App for That!

The First Amendment protects freedom of the press, but how do we reconcile the conflict between national security and accountability? From the Pentagon Papers to WikiLeaks—do we err on the side of secrecy or transparency?

On this installment of Intelligence Squared: weighing the need between government secrecy and the public’s right to know. Panelists debate the motion, “Freedom of the press does not extend to state secrets.”

For the motion: Michael Chertoff, former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, currently Senior of Counsel Michael Chertoff at Covington & Burling LLP and a member of the White Collar Defense and Investigations practice group; and Gabriel Schoenfeld, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and Resident Scholar at the Witherspoon Institute, and author, most recently, of Necessary Secrets: National Security, the Media, and the Rule of Law, which questions whether the press should be prosecuted for revealing information that might endanger national defense.

Against the motion: Alan Dershowitz, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, who has been called “the nation’s most Alan Dershowitz peripatetic civil liberties lawyer.” He recently joined the legal defense team for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange; and David Sanger, Chief Washington Correspondent of The New York Times and a part of the team of reporters and editors in the Times’ WikiLeaks coverage. In a 27-year career at the paper, Sanger has reported from New York, Tokyo, and Washington, covering issues surrounding foreign policy, globalization, nuclear proliferation, and Asian affairs.

More than half of all the people on Earth now live in cities. In some ways that’s a good thing: cities are a very efficient way for us to live. But mass urbanization also has its downside. It puts tremendous strain on city infrastructures that were old to begin with.

Meanwhile there’s pressure to make cities more sustainable. If a city wants to attract residents and businesses, its infrastructure has to do much more than just keep up. It has to improve on the status quo—to enable the clean industries and green lifestyles of the 21st century.

In this program from the Energy Priorities series, producer Denis Du Bois explores how technology is making cities more sustainable through energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable urban planning and transit, and smart buildings.

Part of the solution is technology that enables us to imagine and model our urban environments and shape how they’ll support the needs of the people who live there. Technology lets us “drive” a new approach to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge long before it is constructed.

Du Bois speaks to three experts: Emma Stewart, a cabinet member of the World Economic Forum’s Low Carbon Taskforce, and a First Mover Fellow by The Aspen Institute.

Economic Club of Indiana: Indiana Senator Dan Coats

Peace Talks Radio: Put-down Humor and Teasing

Sunday, October 16, 8 p.m.

As the junior United States Senator from Indiana, Dan Coats serves on four Senate committees: Appropriations, Select Intelligence, Energy, and Natural Resources and the Joint Economic Committee.

Sunday, October 23, 8 p.m.

Sunday, October 30, 8 p.m.

In a tradition going back thousands of years, many college classes consist of lectures. But research conducted over the past few decades shows it’s impossible for students to take in and process all the information presented during a typical lecture.

Whether on the playground or in the office, teasing behavior and put-down humor can give rise to conflict. Yet there are studies showing that good natured teasing can strengthen social bonds. On this installment of Peace Talks Radio, a thoughtful discussion on this nuanced topic.

All you have to do is hang out with children and you’ll see and hear it start. A stream of teasing and zingers, followed the victim’s call to their mom and the usual disclaimer of “I was only kidding,” from the teaser.

Don’t Lecture Me: Rethinking the Way College Students Learn

Senator Dan Coats

His priorities are to push for spending cuts and fiscal restraint; work on initiatives to strengthen national security; and advocate for a responsible comprehensive energy approach to help reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil.

After graduating from Wheaton College, Coats served in the U.S. Army, and later attended Indiana University School of Law Indianapolis, where he received his J.D. and was associate editor of the Indiana Law Review.

Coats served in Congress from 1981 to 1999 in both the House and Senate.

During his time there, he promoted policies to lower taxes and reform entitlement programs, and served on the Senate Armed Services Committee and Select Committee on Intelligence.

In keeping with a term-limits pledge he made to Hoosiers, he stepped down from his Senate seat in 1999 and entered law practice.

Coats returned to the U.S. Senate in 2011 to focus on reducing the national debt and promoting a pro-growth economic policy to put Hoosiers and Americans back to work.

He has served as President of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and on the boards of many civic and volunteer organizations, including the Center for Jewish and Christian Values, which he cochaired with Senator Joe Lieberman.

Why do we laugh at Carla's put-downs?

A look toward popular humor—in sitcoms, movies, and from stand-up comics—suggests that the put-down zingers seem to have escalated in recent decades. It’s left us wondering if many of us aren’t trying to imitate these humor models in our lives, looking for that approving laugh track in our heads— without thinking about whether we might be contributing to conflict. We may not always know where to draw the line between benign good humor and aggression or verbal violence.

Why does this type of humor seem to be such a sure-fire formula for comedy success? Why does entertainment that merges violence with humor make some people laugh, while others squirm?

Host Paul Ingles talks with writers and researchers who have given these topics thought and study. Paul Lewis is a professor of English at Boston College and the author of the book Cracking Up: American Humor in a Time of Conflict.

In this American RadioWorks special, education correspondent Emily Hanford explores how traditional approaches to teaching are failing to provide many college students with the knowledge they need. We hear the surprising story of how a group of physicists became concerned about whether their students were learning, what they did about it, and how their work is influencing a new generation of educators reinventing college to try to help students learn better.

The documentary focuses on the work of Eric Mazur, a renowned physicist and educator at Harvard University who determined years ago that lectures weren’t working, and now teaches his introductory physics courses in a completely different way. We explore Mazur’s approach to teaching, and why he thinks the information age is changing what it means to be an educated person. Hanford also visits the University of Minnesota Rochester, a new college where there are no lectures. Students and faculty are part of a grand education experiment trying to reinvent how people learn in college.

Don’t Lecture Me is part of American RadioWorks’ “Tomorrow’s College” series, which examines the future of higher education.

WFIU’s artists for the month for October are Kevin Murphy and Heidi Grant Murphy. They joined the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music this fall as professor of practice and adjunct professor of practice, respectively.

A native of Syracuse, New York, Murphy received his Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and a Master’s of Music in Piano Accompaniment from the Curtis Institute.

In 1992, he was the first pianist invited by James Levine to participate in the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Kevin Murphy Development Program. Until recently, Murphy served as the director of Music Administration at the New York City Opera.

In addition to his on- and off-stage partnership with Heidi Grant Murphy, he has collaborated in concert and recital with many of today’s leading artists, including Michelle DeYoung, Bejun Mehta, Gary Lakes, Nathan Gunn, Olaf Bär, Bryn Terfel, Marcelo Alvarez, Placido Domingo, and Frederica von Stade. He has appeared on The Today Show with soprano Renée Fleming, Good Morning America with soprano Cecilia Bartoli, and The Tonight Show with tenor Gary Lakes.

Murphy has played continuo harpsichord with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra in productions of Così fan tutte, La Cenerentola, Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, La Clemenza di Tito and Idomeneo. He has been musical assistant and played continuo harpsichord for the Seiji Ozawa Opera Project in Japan, at the Tanglewood Music Festival and Verbier for James Levine

Featured Contemporary Composer

WFIU’s contemporary composer for the month of October is Hans Werner Henze.

Hans Werner Henze

Born in Germany in 1926, Henze is the composer of a prodigious output of music influenced by serialism, atonality, Italian music, Arabic music and jazz, as well as traditional schools of German composition.

Early in his career, Henze’s fascination with the music of Mozart and his contemporaries was reflected in his Symphony No. 1, written in 1947, and a concerto grosso for piano, flute, and strings. Through his later composition lessons with Wolfgang Fortner, Henze discovered the music of Stravinsky, Bartok, and Berg.

Greensburg 98.9 fm • Kokomo 106.1 fm • Terre Haute 95.1 fm

and worked with Esa-Pekka Salonnen at La Jolla’s SummerFest.

He is also a regular adjudicator for the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions.

Heidi Grant Murphy is a native of Bellingham, Washington.

She began vocal studies while attending Western Washington and continued her studies at IU. Her graduate studies were interrupted when she was named a winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and engaged by James Levine to participate in the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. Murphy has appeared with most of the world’s finest opera companies and symphony orchestras and has a close working relationship with many of the world’s most esteemed conductors.

Her latest recording is Lullabies & Nightsongs, based on the children’s book illustrated by Maurice Sendak.

With Lorin Maazel and the New York Philharmonic, she appears on a live recording of Mahler’s fourth symphony and a separate recording of Augusta Read Thomas’s Gathering Paradise on New World.

Additional recordings include Roberto Sierra’s Missa Heidi Grant Murphy Latina with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, and the Grammy-nominated Sweeney Todd (Johanna) for the New York Philharmonic’s private label.

She has recorded Schumann’s Das Paradies und die Peri with the Staatskapelle Dresden as well as Idomeneo (Ilia) and Le Nozze di Figaro (Barbarina), both conducted by James Levine.

WFIU will feature music performed by Kevin Murphy and Heidi Grant Murphy throughout the month of October.

Artists of the Month

Metaphors for dance appear in Henze’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in his use of the pas de deux, and he also wrote many pieces for the ballet stage. He experimented with integrating jazz and 19th century Romanticism in works such as Maratona di danza and Undine. His operas include Elegy for Young Lovers and Der junge Lord.

In the 1960s, Henze strengthened his political involvement which, in turn, influenced his musical work. The premiere of his oratorio Das Floß der Medusa in Hamburg failed when his West Berlin collaborators refused to perform under a portrait of Che Guevara. This period of politically inspired writings culminated in Voices: a collection of songs for mezzo-soprano and tenor in German, English, Italian, and Spanish. The songs blend exotic folksong elements, protest songs, standard dances, marches, light opera, cabaret, and classical music.

Henze’s musical language eventually arrived at a sensuous lyricism, reminiscent perhaps of the relaxed environment of Italy, which has been his home since 1953. Now in his mid-eighties, he continues to compose and revise earlier works.

WFIU will feature music composed by Hans Werner Henze during the month of October.

If Trouble Don’t Kill Me

by Ralph Berrier, Jr. Airs September 27 to October 31 Twin brothers Clayton and Saford Hall were born in the backwoods of Virginia in 1919 in a place known as The Hollow.

They became famous in their day, rising from mountain-bred poverty to pickin’ and yodelin’ all over the airwaves of the South in the 1930s and 1940s, opening shows for the Carter Family, Roy Rogers, the Sons of the Pioneers, and even playing the most coveted stage of all: the Grand Ole Opry. They accomplished a lifetime’s worth of achievements in less than five years—and left behind only a few records to document their existence.

Ralph Berrier, Jr., the grandson of Clayton Hall and a reporter for the Roanoke Times, documents their full story for the first time in If Trouble Don’t Kill Me. He shows how the twins’ music spread like wildfire, their popularity inflamed by their onstage zaniness, their roguish offstage shenanigans, and, above all, their ability to play old-time country music.

But just as they arrived on the brink of major fame, World War II dashed their dreams. The Hall twins traveled overseas, leaving behind their beloved music, and were thrust into the cauldron of a war that reshaped their lives and destinies.

They returned home after the war to find that the world had changed, music had changed—and they had, too.

If Trouble Don’t Kill Me paints a portrait of a vanishing yet exalted southern culture, shows us the devastating consequences of war, and allows us to experience the mountain voices that both influenced the history of music and shaped the landscape of America.

But it was her last-minute bow at Salzburg the following year in I puritani, replacing an indisposed Anna Netrebko, that launched the Georgian soprano’s international career. For her first solo album, Machaidze has made a selection of the greatest bel canto and lyric roles. The arias she performs demand everything of a soprano: dramatic flair, humor, pathos, elegance, and of course, both beauty and dexterity of voice.

Jazz Notes

Sunday at 11 a.m.

Radiolab Season 8 concludes with these episodes.

October 2 Cities More than fifty percent of the world’s population lives in cities. This hour, Radiolab looks at what makes cities tick. We talk to physicists who think they can fit every city into a tidy mathematical formula, and we take to the streets to test their idea, exploring water tunnels 700 feet below Manhattan.

October 9 Fate and Fortune What decides the trajectory of our lives, our successes or failures, our steps and stumbles? Do we achieve what we achieve through force of will, or does fate have us by the throat? This hour, Radiolab explores the tug of war between will and fate from birth to death—from a kid reaching for a marshmallow to hints of dementia in the words of a 20-year-old.

October 16 Oops You come up with a great idea. You devise a plan. You control for every imaginable variable. And once everything is in place, the train hops your carefully laid tracks. In this hour of Radiolab, unintended consequences abound: from a psychologist whose zeal to safeguard national security may have created a terrorist, to a community whose efforts to protect an endangered bird had deadly consequences.

The Moth Radio Hour Season 5 begins with these episodes. Please note The Moth Radio Hour is for adults. Some stories are emotionally intense and not for children.

October 23 A hair stylist recalls accompanying his father on hunting expeditions in Alabama, a young journalist carefully sets the stage to make her first time memorable, and best-selling novelist Walter Mosley cares for his ailing mother. Hosted by radio producer Jay Allison and noted comic and storyteller Mike Birbiglia.

October 30 A hiker is pinned underneath a refrigerator-sized boulder deep in the wilderness, a speechwriter describes his most challenging assignment (“Make Al Gore funny”) and a young art student battles her demons in the pursuit of love. Hosted by the founder of The Moth, George Dawes Green.

The WFIU jazz department is rather partisan in that we believe that jazz goes great with every month of the year. But we think that jazz is especially wonderful to listen to in October—that enchanted autumnal spell of cool weather, cider light, and splendidly-hued trees.

Whether you’re a casual and curious listener or a devoted jazz fan, we’ll help you tune into that jazz-in-the-fall mood each weekday afternoon from 3:30 to 5 p.m. on Just You and Me. This month we feature new releases from drummer and jazz legend Roy Haynes, guitarist Bill Frisell, and other veterans Roy Haynes and up-and-coming talents.

We also highlight the latest volume in the ongoing series of mid-1940s Treasury Department broadcasts by Duke Ellington’s orchestra, as well as a never-before-released 1952 Ellington concert; a new, complete anthology of Frank Sinatra’s recordings with Count Basie in the 1960s; and a new box set of Miles Davis’ so-called Second Great Quintet, with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams, performing in Europe in 1967.

If that isn’t enough excitement for you, every Friday Joe Bourne returns to the Just You and Me chair to spin a variety of vintage pop, rock, blues, R & B, and other music (you can still hear Joe on The Big Bands every Friday evening as well at 9 p.m., right after Jazz Inspired with Judy Carmichael).

On Friday evenings you can also hear WFIU’s long-running jazz and popular song program Afterglow, which airs at 10 p.m.

This month’s offerings include a show of river songs (“Moon River,” “Ol’ Man River,” and many more), a tribute to the music of songwriter Paul Simon, and a re-airing of our documentary about the musical legacy of Indiana’s own Al Cobine, the bandleader, saxophonist, composer, and arranger who lived in Bloomington for many years.

Our Saturday evening jazz program Night Lights serves up shows this month about the big bands’ little bands (small groups led by notable orchestral figures such as Woody Herman and Tommy Dorsey), jazz from the year 1961, radio broadcasts from the Bill Frisell 1970s by Bill Evans, Chet Baker, and Art Blakey, and a program about jazz in the Prohibition era, featuring special guest and historian Michael McGerr.

Finally, on Friday, October 28, WFIU will hold its annual Listener Reception from 7 to 9 p.m. in the IU Art Museum atrium, where food, drinks, and the usual WFIU suspects will all be on hand for your evening entertainment. We’re eager to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and hear what you think about the station. Swing on by and say hello!

Unearthing Dracula Monday, October 31, 7 p.m.

For generations, Count Dracula has captured our collective imagination—from Vlad the Impaler to Bela Lugosi to Bram Stoker. In this documentary produced by WFIU, host-producer Annie Corrigan with Jeffrey Holdeman look at the films, literature, music, and art surrounding this eerie yet elusive character.

The Problem with Vampires When WFIU approached Jeffrey Holdeman, senior lecturer in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Indiana University, to contribute to a single radio program about vampires, he said we should be prepared to create a ten-part series instead.

“I spend fifteen weeks rushing very quickly through the material in my course and still have more things to say, more things to do, more information to impart,” says Holdeman, speaking about an undergraduate course he teaches called The Vampire in European and American Culture.

We took the expert’s advice and narrowed the topic of the program to the one vampire who has had single-name recognition since the late 19th century (and even earlier in some circles): Dracula.

The Three Faces of Dracula Holdeman says it’s important when speaking about Dracula to understand which version of the character is being referenced.

The first is the very real historical figure of Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (now Romania), also called Vlad Țepeș (“Vlad the Impaler”). He ruled in the 15th century during the invasion of the Ottoman Turks, and he is viewed as a national hero for defending orthodox Christianity.

His nickname, says Holdeman, stems from “a certain fondness for impaling people on very long pikes. That’s a nice visual way of telling people to stay away and if not, this is what we’re going to do to you.”

He had his father to thank for passing down the name of Dracula. Vlad II was a member of the Order of the Dragon, which earned him the title Drac. As his son, Vlad the III was then referred to as Dragwlya, the diminutive of Drac.

A New Image Thanks to Bram Stoker Fast-forward 400 years to the second incarnation of Dracula: Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula.

A theater critic and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, Stoker dedicated himself to researching the folklore of vampires in Eastern Europe for several years. Initially he named the character Count Wampyr, “but then as soon as he saw Dracula,” says Holdeman, “I think linguistically he knew he had a winner.”

The success of Bram Stoker’s Dracula forever changed the image of Vlad Țepeș, much to the dismay of the Romanian people.

Not only was their national hero taken away from them, he was turned into a creature from their own folklore.

“Some people have said what Bram Stoker did to the figure of Dracula would be like turning George Washington into a vampire,” adds Holdeman.

Ready for My Close-Up The third Dracula is the character seen in movies throughout the 20th century.

“All these movies are supposed to be based directly on the novel,” says Holdeman. But their depictions of Dracula could not be more different.

The first movie featuring Dracula was released in 1922. Since it was an unauthorized adaptation of the novel, it was called Nosferatu, with Max Schrek playing the rat-like villain.

In 1931, Bela Lugosi created the iconic image of Dracula with his cape, tuxedo, widow’s peak and foreign accent in the eponymous film directed by Tod Browning. “Just to be able to say ‘I vant’ is enough to make people know that ‘suck your blood’ is going to come immediately after that,” says Holdeman.

Christopher Lee played Dracula several times throughout his career, the first of which came in 1958’s Horror of Dracula. In the 1970 film Count Dracula, his character begins as an old man and

Bela Lugosi as Cou

nt Dracula quenching

his thirst for blood

becomes younger as he feeds on blood, the first movie to depict this aspect of the novel.

Frank Langella took a turn as an alluring Dracula in 1979, minus the traditional fangs and wolf-like eyes.

Then in 1992, Francis Ford Coppola directed Gary Oldman in the main role in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Oldman sported a top hat, long flowing hair, and roundrimmed sunglasses for the role.

Dracula, Dracula Everywhere When not scaring PG-13 audiences in movie theaters, Dracula is teaching children to count on Sesame Street (The Count) and feeding them sugary cereals (Count Chocula). There is a Lego character reminiscent of the Bela Lugosi Dracula, and if you keep an eye out for them, Dracula references are made everywhere from greeting cards to candies.

He has infiltrated the fabric of our culture.

Unlike other monsters, Holdeman says Dracula and his vampire friends have staying power when it comes to their place in our culture.

“It touches on too many themes that are at the very core of human existence.

So, for as much as you might like zombies or mummies, the vampire definitely has the metaphoric advantage.”

Include a Percentage Song of America for WFIU debuts on WFIU Are you interested in making a charitable gift, but fear you can’t afford to do so?

One of the easiest ways to make a gift to your public radio station is simple and 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.

Designating WFIU as a beneficiary in your plan or policy has the following benefits: • Funds designated to a non-profit in a retirement account are not taxed.

This reduces the overall tax burden to the heir’s estate. These taxes may be considerable with a pre-tax retirement fund that may be subject to multiple taxes at death—meaning less for (nonspousal) heirs.

• Designating a percentage of your retirement plan assets or insurance policy to WFIU does not create a hardship on your current income or spending. It 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 circumstances change in the future.

• Including 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.

Making a gift in this manner is a painless, non-invasive way of expressing support and appreciation for the meaningful community resource that WFIU represent in south central Indiana.

If you decide to include WFIU as a beneficiary in your retirement plan, insurance policy, or your 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 812-855-2935 or nkrueger@indiana.edu

Thursdays at 8 p.m.

Song of America is a new thirteenweek series that explores the history of American culture through the eyes of our poets and the ears of our composers.

Developed and hosted by baritone Thomas Hampson, the series treats classic American songs—poetry set to music by American composers—as a vibrant diary of the American experience.

Each program focuses on a particular topic that sheds light on a larger theme in American history, and includes approximately 40 minutes of songs drawn from archival and modern recordings, plus stories and insights from Mr. Hampson about the people and events that inspired those songs. Some programs also include lively interviews with experts from various fields.

Songs Throughout the Centuries The recordings in the series feature some of the most prominent American singers of the past 100 years, including David Bispham, Alma Gluck, Marian Anderson, Nelson Eddy, Paul Robeson, William Warfield, Leontyne Price, Jan DeGaetani, Marilyn Horne, and Renée Fleming, as well as material drawn from Thomas Hampson’s own far-ranging catalog.

The recording selections include settings

by American composers from Francis Hopkinson, who wrote the first homegrown American song in 1759; to Stephen Foster, Henry Burleigh, and Arthur Farwell.

There are 20th century masters such as Charles Ives, Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber, and Leonard Bernstein; plus today’s prolific song composers including Michael Tilson Thomas, George Crumb, Ned Rorem, and Lori Laitman.

Lesser-known composers are included as well, such as Charles Griffes, Walter Damrosch, and Ruth Crawford Seeger.

The programs also draw on the poets whose work these composers found irresistible, including American icons such as Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Langston Hughes, and other masters such as Edwin Arlington Robinson, Vachel Lindsay, Stephen Crane, Carl Sandburg, Sara Teasdale, and Paul Goodman.

Thomas Hampson

The radio series is part of the “Song of America” project, developed by Hampson in collaboration with the Library of Congress in 2005. The project thus far has produced two national tours; independent recitals in twenty-two states and thirteen countries; numerous master classes, exhibits and broadcasts; two CDs, and a Web site (songofamerica.net).

About Thomas Hampson Called “America’s baritone” by the Chicago Globe, Thomas Hampson is one of the world’s foremost opera singers, having sung more than 70 opera roles in major opera houses the world over, including more than 200 performances at the Metropolitan Opera alone. With roughly 170 recordings, he is also one of the most prolific recording artists of our time.

Hampson is founder of the Hampsong Foundation, which supports the proliferation of the art of song in America and around the world as a means to foster communication and understanding among cultures. Song of America was coproduced by the Hampsong Foundation and the WFMT Radio Network.

“The Song of America project has been a dream come true for me,” Hampson says, “giving me unforgettable opportunities to tour our country while singing the songs born of our life experiences as Americans in the language of our hearts and minds.”

“These songs—our songs—say everything through the eyes of our poets and the ears of our composers, about the culture we call American. We need these songs in our cultural landscape.”

Meet Ether Game’s new host Tom Berich Tom Berich is the new host of WFIU’s weekly musical guessing game, Ether Game. He comes to WFIU after several years producing live shows for Nickelodeon, touring the country putting on fast paced children’s entertainment. He also engineered the audio tours for the Smithsonian and for Boston’s Museum of Modern Art. Tom is deeply involved in the advancement of the steelpan, or steeldrum. He founded Pan USA, an organization that advances the steelpan by giving school presentations, manufacturing products, publishing music, and performing concerts.

Mr. Berich has been playing steelpan professionally, from solo performances to large steelpan ensembles, for more than fifteen years. While earning his Music Education Degree from West Virginia University, he studied steeldrum performance and construction from Ellie Mannette, known as the “Father of the Modern Steeldrum.”

Tom composed, produced, and recorded the audio prompts heard on Verizon and Sprint’s automated customer service. If you ever heard steeldrums while on hold after dialing directory assistance, you heard his music.

In addition, Tom has developed the percussion performance program for Indiana School for the Deaf, is writing a series of steelpan technique books, and gives private steelpan lessons. He is a member of ASCAP and the Percussive Arts Society.

Ether Game, WFIU’s weekly program of music trivia, is entering its fifth decade on the air. Listeners to this live program phone in guesses to a panel of knowledgeable volunteers, who freely gives hints to the answers—as many hints as needed!

The program features mainly classical music, but often branches out to movie soundtracks, jazz, folk, and rock. You’re invited to join in the fun Tuesdays from 8 to 10 p.m. on WFIU HD1.
