Episode 31: 15031 Whispers of Heavenly Death
Contemporary song cycles generally lead a marginal existence in the shadow of Schubert's perennial, towering example. Connecticut-native composer Scott Perkins nevertheless audaciously marches to the beat of his own drum on WHISPERS OF HEAVENLY DEATH, setting to music an awe-inducingly broad variety of poems across all ages and cultures.

Episode 30: 15030 Butterfly Effects
Elizabeth Vercoe’s newest album BUTTERFLY EFFECTS AND OTHER WORKS begins with a quotation. The Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi asked, "Am I a human who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I now a butterfly who dreams of being a human?" This sense of oneness and the paradoxical strength of the fragile butterfly permeates through the composer’s album, establishing themes translated through woodwind instruments, vocals, and piano.
