Open Air for Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Hidden Valleys in the American Landscape: Harris, Persichetti, Diamond

They're not the peaks of American music visible from any vantage point in our culture. You have to seek them out. And when we listen to works by Roy Harris, David Diamond and others this week on Open Air, we may find that the well-known granite of the peaks suffers in comparison to the fertile undisturbed valleys. More riches than you knew existed, Tuesday night at 8.
