This is the lobby of the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C., chosen as an illustration -- and an excellent one -- of post-modern classicism. While the Mendelssohn work included doesn't fall into that category -- it is neo-Baroque in it's outlook -- much of the rest of the music does, including works by Jonathan Newman, Elliott Schwartz, Roberto Sierra and the Ancia Saxophone Quartet's take on Jelly Roll Morton. A medieval song and a dreamy esquisse of George Gershwin are thrown in to sweeten the pot. Length: 48 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.
