Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Wallace Stegner called America’s national parks our “best idea”—an idea as uniquely American as the Declaration of Independence, and just as radical: that the most special places of our nation should be preserved not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone. Yet the story of how these special places became preserved as parks, the role of individual citizens in creating them, and the powerful stories of our emotional connection to them have remained relatively unknown…until now. This month, WGBH is proud to present Ken Burns’s six-part documentary series The National Parks: America’s Best Idea (see page 18) with the most stunning cinematography in his awardwinning career. This is mustsee TV, and we’re offering you multiple opportunities to experience it: on television, on demand, and on the Web. And to keep the conversation going, we’ve put together a roster of related programs: from Wallace Stegner to Yellowstone: Land to Life (see pages 14 and 18). Ken is a longtime friend and supporter of WGBH. On Thursday, September 10 he and co-producer Dayton Duncan will be in Boston for a special preview. I hope you can join us at the Museum of Science for a WGBH co-sponsored, ticketed public event (see page 2) featuring Ken and Dayton that will include a breathtaking preview in the museum’s Mugar Omni Theater. And speaking of breathtaking, I hope you like the cover of this month’s Members’ Guide featuring Grand Tetons National Park: you picked it. Hundreds of WGBH members took the time to cast their votes online and share their thoughts, including Jim Winter of Malden Farms, who wrote, “The Grand Tetons are what I think of first when our national treasures are mentioned—the majestic master of the Great American West! Thanks for the ‘photo op’!” Thank you, Jim…and all our members. It’s your generous support that makes it possible for WGBH to bring you eye-opening, horizon-expanding documentaries like Ken Burns’s latest masterpiece.

From Hollywood’s Blacklist to Hit List With credits for Kitty Foyle and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo to his name— and the anti-war novel Johnny Got His Gun—the young Dalton Trumbo was one of Hollywood’s highest-paid writers. Refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947, he was part of the Hollywood Ten; convicted for contempt, he spent 11 months in federal prison and lost all rights to ply his craft. Trumbo wrote 30 scripts under pseudonyms, winning an Oscar in 1956 for The Brave One, but was not recognized again publicly until 1960. In 1993, Trumbo was awarded a posthumous Academy Award for Roman Holiday (1953). American Masters: Trumbo Wed, 9/2 at 8pm on WGBH 2

Stegner’s The Wilderness Letter became the conscience of the conservation movement. This one-hour documentary paints a portrait of the West that Stegner so loved and reveals insights into his life through interviews with his famous students, contemporaries and family. Peter Coyote narrates. Wallace Stegner Wed, 9/16 at 10pm on WGBH 2

To Your Good Health The Newshour, Now on PBS and Tavis Smiley collaborate on this 90-minute special examining the urgent topic of health-care reform. Correspondents and producers from all three shows offer analysis of the proposed legislation that is supposed to provide universal health care in the US. The program examines issues critical to success or failure of the initiative, including the impact on the family pocketbook, how reform may change the way we live, and the difference between the current “sickness” model of care and the proposed “wellness” model.

Oh Beautiful, For Spacious Skies Combining spectacular cinematography and masterful storytelling, this latest series from filmmaker Ken Burns will show you our nation’s national parks as you’ve never seen them before! The National Parks: America’s Best Idea was filmed over the course of more than six years in some of nature’s most spectacular locales—Acadia to Yosemite, Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon, the Everglades of Florida to the Gates of the Arctic in Alaska. This 12.5-hour, six-part documentary traces the birth of the national park idea in the mid-1800s and follows its evolution for nearly 150 years. Using archival photographs, first-person accounts of historical characters, personal memories and analysis from more than 40 interviews, the series chronicles the steady addition of new parks through the stories of the people who helped create them and save them from destruction. It is simultaneously a biography of compelling characters and of the American landscape.

The Music That Made You Love Music, on WGBH Radio What music made you fall in love with music? That is the question we’re asking our radio hosts, featured composers and musicians…and you, as we celebrate Classical Music Month this September. Throughout the fall, we’ll be sharing these personal and powerful stories (see box below). One answer we’ve already heard is the power of hearing a live performance, and that’s music to our ears. Each year, WGBH present hundreds of live performances, many of them classical—on location, from concert halls and music festivals throughout New England and around the world, and at home at WGBH’s Fraser Performance Studio, a popular stop for established as well as up-and-coming musicians. This month, and this fall, look for live performances by pianist Roberto Plano, violinist Bayla Keyes, and cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan. Alan McLellan, who produces live broadcasts for Classics in the Morning and Classical Performances and is host/producer of our Classical Performance podcast, says live performances are what set WGBH 89.7 apart. “Boston’s classical music scene is among the finest in the world, and WGBH is in a unique position to celebrate it,” says McLellan.“Musicians are always thrilled to discover how closely connected our broadcasts are to what is happening in the community.
Tell Us Your Story Throughout September and October, visit wgbh.org/musicunfiltered, and enter our “Music That Made You Love Music” contest. When you submit your story, you’ll be entered to win great musical prizes, including season tickets to musical and cultural events around Boston. In November, WGBH’s radio hosts will feature a selection of your stories and music on air! And while you’re online, sign up for our fun and interactive email bulletins filled with music, activities, stories, and downloads designed to give you even more of the music that made you love music!
“In addition to offering a rich musical experience that goes beyond what you can get from a recording, live performances allow our radio hosts—and, by extension, our listeners— to engage with musicians and learn how they feel and what they think about the music they’re playing,” McLellan notes. Away from our studios, we bring listeners concerts from the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Handel and Haydn Society, and local music festivals. September’s highlights include a special presentation of Monteverdi’s final opera L’incoronazione di Poppea from the 2009 Boston Early Music Festival, the 10th-anniversary season premiere of From the Top (recorded in our studios), and the season opening night of the BSO. And, in this digital age, we’re also bringing the music to a local and worldwide audience in a variety of new ways. Classical live performances, some of which also include video, are streamed at wgbh.org/classical. Listeners also can access WGBH’s classical lineup through our All-Classical WGBH service, an HD broadcast (89.7 HD) and online stream that offers classical music fans a 24/7 mix of music, interviews, concerts, live performances, and more. Fully 40% of our AllClassical WGBH audience are listening from overseas—10% from Japan alone. Its high-quality
sound is one of the reasons the stream is such a favorite, says WGBH 89.7 Program Director Jon Solins, but the music is the main attraction. “All-Classical WGBH extends our commitment to sharing classical music—including the best of what Boston has to offer—with an ever-widening audience,” says Solins.“We’re proud to say that we bring the BSO to Tokyo.” Find out more about how WGBH is celebrating Classical Music Month at wgbh.org/classical, and be sure to tell us what musical moment inspired you!

Their Musical Moments As part of our “Music That Made You Love Music” contest, we asked a crosssection of WGBH Radio hosts and correspondents to tell us about a piece of music that made them start falling in love with music. During September, you’ll hear their stories as well as many others throughout the day on WGBH 89.7. Remember to share your own story with us at wgbh.org! Cathy Fuller Classics in the Morning The music that me fall in love with classical music was a piece my mother played, “Gaspard de la Nuit” by Maurice Ravel. I was hearing it before I was born, because my mother played the piano with me bulging out over the keyboard. When I was very young, I remember feeling that “Gaspard de la Nuit” was like magic seeping out of the doors of the piano room. It’s an incredibly virtuosic piece in that it makes the piano sound like something completely different. You can’t hear the hammers, you can’t hear the mechanisms of the piano, and the piece just has this eerie beautiful sparkle. Brian McCreath Classical Weekend One of the first pieces I remember really falling in love with was “Scheherazade” by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. I was around 13 years old and I had just begun playing the trumpet, so I had a few trumpet recordings around my house. That’s the time I also began to buy records—I’d get on my bike and go to this little record store and flip through the LPs sitting in the bins. I was obsessed with Maynard Ferguson, because what he did on the trumpet just seemed so outrageous. In the late ’70s Maynard Ferguson recorded “Scheherazade” in his unmistakable style— really high, really loud, with shakes all over it. Someone named RimskyKorsakov was listed on the album cover, so I went out and found a recording of the original “Scheherazade.” It was in the cut-out bin for something like $1.99, and the jacket credited the performance to the USSR Large Radio Symphony Orchestra. It was just unbelievable, so I listened to it over and over again, and that really brought me into classical music. I’m not sure if it was the first piece of classical music that I came to love, but it hooked me, and showed me what you could do with an orchestra.

Brian O’Donovan A Celtic Sojourn The piece of music that made me fall in love with classical music, but really made me fall in love with music generally, was The Little Fugue in G minor by Bach—it’s one of the classic pieces, everyone knows its tune even if they don’t know its name. When I heard it in the ’60s on television in Ireland, I was absolutely transfixed. It seemed to me that the piece ran away with itself and fed back on itself in intriguing ways, attracting me into the whorls and complexities that I really didn’t understand at the time, but in ways I remembered afterward with a lot of affection. It introduced me to the idea of a fugue—the interplay of notes and the central theme. It was almost giving me access to a secret code that I found absolutely fascinating. Steve Schwartz Jazz from Studio Four For me, it was “Earth Angel” by the Penguins when I was 15. This was a West Coast doowop group—only it wasn’t called doo-wop in those days, it was R&B. I heard the voices and the harmonies, and the music just seemed to speak to me. The first jazz record I heard and had to buy was by a group called The Mastersounds. It was 1958, and I was living in LA. The late ’50s in California were the “cool jazz” days—Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan, Shorty Rogers—and The Mastersounds were a West Coast version of the Modern Jazz Quartet, with vibes, piano, bass and drums. When I opened the door to the record store where I was going to buy the album, the music that was playing rushed out and almost knocked me over, it was so powerful. I went up to the counter and said, “What is that?” The guy held up a record jacket and it was Charles Mingus’s Blues and Roots. I had never heard of Charles Mingus, but that record was typical Mingus—earth-shattering music. So I left the store with opposite ends of the rainbow: some incredible New York, high-energy Mingus and the cool West Coast Mastersounds. Marco Werman The World’s Global Hit I fell in love with jazz with an album that my parents had lying around by Cannonball Adderly called Them Dirty Blues—first, I heard it as blues, and then as it started to wash over me, I heard jazz, and improvisation. As I listened more, I heard a complete command of the music, and an ability to go wherever they wanted to take the music. It was so powerful. Up to that point, I think I was only paying attention to melody. I was 7 or 8 at the time. When I finally had my own record player, it was the first LP my mom gave me, and I was so psyched. To this day I still play this album, and I still turn people on to it. Schedules, program info, playlists: wgbh.org/radio 27
