WFMU: A440 / Stochastic Hit Parade with Bethany Ryker: Playlist from April 21, 2014

Listener comments!
	8:02pm Bethany Ryker: Greetings on this fine day!
	8:02pm Rynac: Nice to hear something by Khachaturian other than "Saber Dance".
	8:09pm Bethany Ryker: Yep, so much more! Tends to be the case across the board. I'm glad to be able to present the lesser-known works. This one particularly grabbed on and wouldn't let go.
	8:15pm Robert: I listened to a lot of Yugoslav folk music as a child (grandparents' records, which I still have), and I don't hear any of that in Russian classical stuff. But maybe I need to go back & listen now.
	8:18pm Bethany Ryker: Robert, I'd be very interested to know what you hear!
	8:18pm Robert: I remember a lady DJ on WFMU in the 1990s play some Serbian stuff, especially from a band that did Serbian-style versions of other popular music, as an example of metric complexity. Measures like 2-2-2-4, 2-3-2, etc.
	8:19pm ranjit: Hello! I was just going to say I couldn't hear the folk music in this, and then I could.
	8:21pm Robert: Trouble is, I don't know enough music GENERALLY. I got out the Yugoslav 7B8s etc. for friends one July 4, and was informed that one piece was "Buffalo Gals" in Croatian or whatever. I didn't know "Buffalo Gals"!
	8:22pm Robert: Like the Jackie Gleason character who didn't know "Swanee R."
	8:23pm ranjit: Swanee River always makes me think of Bugs Bunny, but that might also be the influence of Vicki's show just now.
	8:25pm Robert: OK, now this Maric piece sounds like an andante Heroica. Well, at least one phrase did.
	8:27pm Robert: Is Octoicha Hungarian for Heroica?
	8:28pm northguineahills: Thanks Bethany!
	8:28pm Bethany Ryker: Language is serbian...look it up please!
	8:32pm Robert: Google says its "Stubborn Super Theme Octoicha".
	8:33pm Robert: ...and thinks it's xlating from Italian!
	8:34pm ranjit: Could it mean octet? "Oktoih (Serbian Cyrillic: Октоих) ... is a book of liturgical hymns for singing in eight parts." - wikipedia
	8:35pm Bethany Ryker: She likely titled it in Italian, that makes the most sense
	8:35pm Robert: Thanks. I figured it had something to do w 8. But I woud've guessed eighth notes or the like.
	8:36pm Bethany Ryker: Tema - Theme, Ostinato is a musical term referring to something that repeats (er, stubbornly)
	8:37pm ranjit: Ostinato on a liturgical-hymn theme?
	8:39pm Bethany Ryker: She was deeply influenced by Byzantine church. I think you are the sleuth, Ranjit. I MISS PROGRAM NOTES. DEARLY.
	8:40pm ranjit: Someday they'll find a way to include liner notes in an mp3... i hope...
	8:40pm Bethany Ryker: By the way. This Martinu trio is brilliant, no?
	8:41pm Robert: It did have that "Heroica" strand running thru it, so I tried Google to see Serbian for "heroic". I would read back the Cyrillic as "heroiski".
	9:00pm ranjit: The Juilliard Serenade is somehow pretentious and fun at the same time.
	12:20am mary: that DJ in the 90s who played Serbian music among other things is Paula Gordon. For a while she had an overnight show. I used to listen to her because she was part of a gang I know that was involved in contemporary theater performance art/theater, like The Wooster Group and early Steve (Buscemi)(yea) and Mark (Boone Jr)work...Tech director for choreographer Jo Andres...and she was a DJ on FMU...she decided to move to Sarajevo. Politics and art. Not sure of her location now.
	12:21am mary: Love the show. Bethany is good.
	♥ 5:47am tomasz.: great stuff Bethany!
