[Get On Board American Music for Woodwinds by William Grant Still; Sierra Winds; Cambria 1083]
Gail Eichenthal, Executive Producer at KUSC Classical Radio, paid
tribute to an engineer, John Verboon, who had worked at KUSC for nearly
30 years but died the past weekend with cancer in his early 60's with
request for William Grant Still's SUMMERLAND.
Alan Chapman started his
REQUEST AT NOON program on Monday October 15, 2012 with SUMMERLAND by
Sierra Winds on Cambria. See http://www.kusc.org/playlist/index.aspx.
SUMMERLAND speaks to William Grant Still's vision of life after death.
Violinist Annelle Gregory and composer-pianist Richard Thompson covered
the piece during the 150th Anniversary Emancipation Proclamation
Concert.
