Woodwinds

Today’s pro­gramme fea­tures mem­bers of the wood­wind fam­i­ly — oboe, clar­inet, flute, bas­soon, recorder and more, includ­ing the gamut of Ear­ly Music wood­winds like the shawn (the pre­de­ces­sor of the oboe), cur­tal (a pro­­to-bas­­soon) and crumhorn.

Of course, the major­i­ty of orches­tral music includes a wood­wind sec­tion, so the cri­te­ri­on for inclu­sion in today’s show was that a mem­ber of the wood­wind fam­i­ly is the lead instru­ment — a “wind band” is not suf­fi­cient (and they’re gen­er­al­ly usu­al­ly brass-heavy any­way), but a con­cer­to for bas­soon (yes there is at least one) counts.

Music of the Baroque

Wednes­day April 12th, and today we’re fea­tur­ing music of the Baroque era, with a par­tic­u­lar­ly exten­sive col­lec­tion of music by J S Bach.

Plus it’s your last chance to hear the cur­rent episode of “Where Have You Been?”, where we report on inter­est­ing things to see and do across the Sec­ond Life Grid, at noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT, where we vis­it Arm­strong Park in a vir­tu­al New Orleans; and don’t miss “Engines of Our Inge­nu­ity” from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Hous­ton, every four hours from 4am Pacific.
