This image is of dancer/choreographer Mui Cheuk-yin in her piece "Desperately Seeking Miss Blossom," chosen as an illustration of post-modern romanticism. And that is exactly what France's Nicolas Bacri achieves masterfully in his String Quartet No. 4 "Omaggio á Beethoven," which is the featured work in this segment. Before that we get into some genuine romantic grooves with works by American Civil War Bandmaster Felix Vinatieri and Bedrich Smetana, get just plain groovy with music of Grazyna Bacewicz and Erwin Schulhoff and enter the 21st century with Takashi Yoshimatsu. Length: 57 minutes.

I am a composer, writer, sometime filmmaker and longtime collector and producer of recordings. My radio career began in Cincinnati in 1978 and continues to this very day - I am in my sixth year as a radio host at WCBN-FM Ann Arbor. I have long sought to find a way to get my various shows on the air, and I hope that this is the way - thanks be to Cesar Perez for escorting me here. My interests run from Ancient Greek Music to the avant-garde, so really you can expect to hear just about anything on my show. If you hear something you don't like, just wait a few minutes and chances are you will.
