New Music Show - Zorn
NMS is another contemporary music show on BBC Radio 3. Another reason to love the Beeb.
This was one of the recent programmes -
New Music Show: Tom Service introduces the latest sounds in new music. The show tonight includes Unsuk Chin's Le Silence des Sirènes, a scene for soprano and orchestra based on the Greek myth of the sirens who lured sailors to their destruction in the depths of the sea with their singing - with texts from Homer’s Odyssey, James Joyce’s Ulysses and Franz Kafka. There are also tracks from John Zorn's latest album 'Calculus,' and Christian Kobi's 'Cathedral, "a pure, dramatic, and vague exhalation in an empty space," that space being a vast underground former warehouse in Switzerland. Plus a reflection from Jacob ter Veldhuis on William Blake's poem, 'The Garden Of Love.
