		<title>On Your Liszt</title>

Miriam Makeba

Over the weekend I heard two concerts: first, a performance celebrating the 50th birthday of composer/clarinetist Don Byron. I also attended a musical celebration for vocalist Miriam Makeba, who passed away last weekend. In both cases, their respective fans were in celebration mode and the music certainly fit the bill.
The outpouring of love and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Soothing and Cheerful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photo by David Garland
Weather-wise, this is forecast to be a grey, rainy weekend. Economy-wise, the forecast is also rather grey and rainy. So what music helps you when you want to be soothed and cheered? I&#8217;ve got some good music to share with you this weekend, and I&#8217;ll add in the music you suggest if [...]]]></description>

The Conductor in Chief?

President-elect Barack Obama will inherit, as he put it, &#8220;two wars, a planet in peril and the worst financial crisis in a century.&#8221; The new president will also inherit a house band of more than 100 professional musicians. The United States Marine Band, also known as &#8220;The President&#8217;s Own,&#8221; is the oldest [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Katz/Obama for America
Have you been getting emails and messages from people responding to the election of Barack Obama? I have, and I&#8217;d like to share a couple of them with you.

		<title>The Democratic Ideal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Being a recent transplant from Atlanta,  I voted there this past Friday.  In total the process took nearly six hours, three of which were spent standing outside. We talked and laughed, read books, ordered pizzas and many sought out like-minded voters for private conversations. What struck me the most was the unprecedented enthusiasm [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bump In the Night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Two special occasions: Halloween and the Presidential election. Both are scary and exciting. Both share in the mysteries of the Unknown.
On Halloween we thrill to imagine the dangerous, macabre, and supernatural, but usually Halloween doesn&#8217;t have lasting consequences beyond tooth cavities and rotten pumpkins. By the next day we&#8217;re more or less back to normal. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Haitian-American violinist, pianist, and composer Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) has created a genre unto himself by fusing his classical music roots with a myriad of soundscapes. Roumain sat in with me in the studio to play his music and talk about his new vocal chamber concerto, Darwin’s Meditation for the People of Lincoln, which is [...]]]></description>
