Sound & Spirit "Fairy Tales"
I'm a dope: I meant to let you know ahead of time that we'd be rebroadcasting the hour on Fairy Tales (featuring lots of great music and an interview with Jane Yolen) - but since many people live in towns whose public radio stations don't even carry the show anyway, all is not lost: you can now listen to the whole thing on demand (using RealPlayer) by going to our "Listen Now" page:
www.wgbh.org/pages/pri/sp...isten.html
Go to "January 15, 2006." There are also links to (somewhat antiquated) bibliography, and a poem I wrote that ends the show.
Although we've aired "Fairy Tales" several times over the years, we've gotten some of our nicest listener mail from this broadcast - a listener from Rhode Island wrote:
"An especially fine show this week, with a topically - and
musically - rich, imaginative, and melodic invocation of 'sound
and spirit'!
Wm. Butler Yeats, Bruno Bettleheim, Laurie Anderson, Rainer
Maria Rilke, Swedish Folk Song, Celtic Folk Song (the gorgeous
"The Body Swans"?), and the wonderful Belle et La Bete by
Cocteau (one of my favorite movies) set to Philip Glass's equally
compelling score...
One of those beautiful moments in time when so many artful
and thoughtful expressions of human understanding are
brought together in one space by an equally thoughtful and
perceptive artist and programmer.
Inspired! Your exploration of the Mythical and Magical
continue to illuminate and enchant! And that was, after all,
what Einstein said was the most significant and important
human experience -- the sense of Wonder."
As Terri would say . . . Fairy Tales are Good.

Re: Sound & Spirit "Fairy Tales"
Ooo, nifty! Mind if I repost this in the Endicott forum? In the meantime, I'll be doing my best to save listening to it until after I've finished dissertation work for the night ....

you bet!
Post away! (And let me know where to find it there - I'm a bad dog about forums, never keep up....)
Endicott friends might also like to know that they can hear Terri's actual voice (!) in an interview we did together for a Sound & Spirit show called SURVIVING SURVIVAL - one of our best shows, in my opinion, and Terri sounds great, as always. You can find it by going to
www.wgbh.org/pages/pri/sp...tical.html
and scrolling down alphabetically to the show's title, SURVIVING SURVIVAL.

Re: you bet!
I'm finally a registered user!
If anyone gets a chance to hear either of these shows, I'd love to know what you think.

Re: you bet!
I listed to part of it off the Internet feed. I was mainly interested in the Jane Yolen interview (which is at about the 45 min mark). It reminded me of a radio show done some while back called "Tapestry" which mixed music with prose and poetry.
