Cue Sheet – September 22nd, 2010

AUTUMN MUSIC

Autumn is upon us Thursday, and with it a few scattered leaves of autumn music, starting a bit before 7 a.m. with Grieg's concert overture In Autumn and continuing off and on through the day with seasonal items by Tchaikovsky, Rodrigo, Higdon, Haydn, Vivaldi, Huss, Panufnik and Glazunov. And that's all. On the first day of spring, there's enough vernal-specific music to fill an entire day's programming, but autumn seems not to have inspired so many composers.

Oh, and we'll also bid summer adieu with Honneger's Pastorale d'été. That was just an accident, but it turned out all right.

And one more thing: It's the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Soulima Stravinsky, Igor's son. We hardly ever hear any of Soulima's music, so we're dropping a few of his piano pieces through the schedule, here and there.
