Listener comments!

  9:07pm
Martha:

Warning: we are going to have a very 20th Century night this evening.
  9:13pm
tony:

That's cool. I dig Britten.
  9:14pm
jeff-m:

beautiful for sure
  9:15pm
Arthur:

Does this make you the true born queen of all Britten?
  9:18pm
r from va:

But how will we manage without those 17th/18th century masterpieces?
  9:22pm
Martha:

Good one - though not so sure I am a true born anything! And as for other centuries they can fend for themselves.
  9:25pm
Betsy:

Hi Martha! This is good accompaniment to the muted Giants-49ers game on me telly.
  9:26pm
Richard from Venezuela:

Hello Martha and all the listeners.
  9:26pm
Martha:

As a little background, which I likely should have explained on the air first, this is one of three parables for church performance influenced by Britten's admiration of Japanese Noh (or Nogaku) dramas, which he first saw in in Tokyo in 1956. It is meant to be performed in a church, with no conductor and all the players on the stage, much in the manner of a medieval religious drama. Of the three, this is the only on based directly upon a Noh drama, Sumida-Gawa, though transplanted to Britain.
  9:26pm
Martha:

Thanks!
  9:28pm
david:

Hi Martha and all... first time I've been able to catch you back in this time slot since your away time... happiness prevails.

Hi Martha! Lovvin' the Morton Feldman out here in Michigan, land of frozen, black swamps and vacant farms! Come visit! all the best to u.
  10:29pm
Martha:

Hey - thanks for the good words and the invite - nice scene to listen to Morton Feldman to!
  10:44pm
david:

I think if I mixed this Feldman with this Britten I'd get a little bit Ligeti. Who says band math doesn't work on composers? ;)
  10:50pm
Martha:

I think you might be right there! Band math, I'd forgotten about that...
