March 2d 

Murder for Love

A 100-year-old murder case – it was difficult to solve. Victim George Hultz’s home had burned down. He wasn’t inside. The motive was elusive. The perpetrator was quite good at deflecting suspicion. The man who would rise to Commissioner of the CT State Police, John Kelly, finally cracked the case.

 


 


 March 9th

Selectman killed

Seymour First Selectman Ray Gilliard was shot to death in his Town Hall office 100 years ago. He called the telephone operator, said he had been shot, described his assailants, and asked for police and a doctor to be dispatched. Then, the line went dead. What investigators found out shocked everybody.



March 16th

Top Secret Project

A top-secret, WW II project (“Post Office Box 1142”) dealt with top-level German prisoners held in the U.S. and American soldiers held in Germany. A fabulous scheme to use hidden devices and codes played a major role in many escapes. Wait until you hear about this recently uncovered James Bond-like operation.

March 23d

Stone walls

Stone walls. Beautiful, right? You might be surprised to learn about just how much science has now grown up around stone walls. We’ll speak with the leading expert about the 240,000 miles of stone walls through New England and how they’re factoring into land-use decisions.



March 30th

Yankee Peddlers

Yankee Peddlers. They are said to have originated in Berlin, CT – the same town where the tin industry started in the young United States. In fact, the same two individuals were responsible for starting both. We’ll explore how door-to-door salesmen got their start, along with American consumerism itself.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE OPERA

your "lyric theater" program

with Keith Brown



Programming for March 2025





SUNDAY MARCH 2ND Summer, Hamlet Shakespeare's famous tragedy has provided a fitting subject for opera composers. For example, there's Ambroise Thomas' French language adaptation of the play from 1868. Baritone Thomas Hampson essayed the title role of the pensive Danish prince in the Thomas opera, heard most recently on this program on Sunday, November 10, 2024 (EMI Classics CD's: Almeida/London Philharmonic/Ambrosian Opera Chorus), that same recording, made in 1993, previously broadcast on Sunday, May 21, 1995. Shakespeare's complete spoken-word drama I presented on four Argo CD's on Sunday, November 20, 2016. Now along comes American composer Joseph Summer (b. 1956), with his new take on Hamlet, composed in 2006 and recorded live in performance in the 2021 Ruse State Opera production in Bulgaria. Summer preserves the lyrical integrity of Shakespeare's English language text, rendering its original five-act structure into three, each act of his opera fitting nicely onto the three Navona compact discs. (Navona Records is a New England label based in North Hampton, New Hampshire, and the composer originally comes from Worcester,Mass,) Joseph Summer's  Hamlet opera with its lush orchestration may remind you listeners of the music the British composer Havergal Brian wrote in 1951-52 for his adaptation of Percy Bysshe Shelley's tragedy The Cenci. That was my featured presentation on Toccata Classics CD's for Sunday, January 12th of this year. In the Summer Hamlet the title role is sung by Omar Najmi, who has been a favorite tenor at Boston Lyric Opera. (This singer is a composer, too!) Hamlet's trusted friend Horatio is a "breeches role" taken by Katherine Pracht. Our Ophelia is a Black American soprano Brianna J. Robinson. Other roles were assigned to the Bulgarian singers of the State Opera Ruse. Joseph Summer's grand operatic treatment of Hamlet is one of the installments in his ongoing Shakespeare Concert Series. His opera The Tempest (2012) is part of that series.


SUNDAY MARCH 9TH Poulenc, Dialogues des Carmelites Ash Wednesday fell this year on March 5th, beginning the forty-day period of Lent in the traditional Christian calendar. During this period in old Catholic Europe (and in Protestant lands,too) the opera houses closed for the duration and sacred oratorio was substituted for opera. On the Lenten Sundays to come leading up to Easter Sunday I will be presenting choral music of a devotional nature or operas on Biblical subjects. On this first Sunday in Lent I offer up after a gap of fully four decades a very Catholic musico-religious drama: Francis Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmelites (1957). The subject here is devotion and martyrdom. The typical romantic passions of opera play no part whatever. Poulenc adapted a play by George Bernanos about a convent of nuns who are sacrificed to the guillotine at the command of a French revolutionary tribunal. The world premiere recording of "Dialogues" immediately followed its stage premiere in 1958. It's an unstaged studio recording made in Paris in mono sound. Pierre Dervaux conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of the National Opera of Paris. Listen in particular for the voice of Regine Crespin as the new prioress Madame Lidoine. This EMI recording was issued stateside on Angel LP's which I aired on the last Sunday of Lent, March 24,1985. Hear it again today in digitally upgraded sonics as issued on two EMI CD's in 1999. 

SUNDAY MARCH 16TH Handel, Jephtha This was George Frideric Handel's last full-length oratorio. True, The Triumph of Time and Truth followed in 1757, but that oratorio was pieced together from previously composed music. It was a struggle for Handel to complete the score of Jephtha in 1752 since his eyesight was rapidly declining into total blindness. The story, taken from the Old Testament Book of Judges, is a tragedy setting forth the predicament of the Hebrew military leader who must sacrifice his daughter unto the Lord. There are several fine recordings of Handel's Jephtha in the discography. There's Harry Christopher's interpretation with The Sixteen choral artists and period instrument band. I broadcast it on Sunday, March 13, 2016. Then there's Neville Marriner's interpretation with the chamber orchestra of the Academy of St. Martin in-the-Fields and Academy Chorus, augmented by the Southend Boys' Choir. British tenor Anthony Rolfe Johnson sang the role of Jephtha in that 1979 recording for Decca/London. That one went over the air on Sunday, March16, 1997. (A London Jubilee 1990 reissue on silver disc.) Never previously broadcast , however, is a 1994 Berlin Classics release on three CD"s. This recording was made in co-production with RIAS Radio Berlin. Marcus Creed directs the period instrumentalists of the Akademie fur Alte Musik Berlin and the RIAS Chamber Choir. Another outstanding British tenor John Mark Ainsley takes the title role. 


SUNDAY MARCH 23RD Hildegard of Bingen/The Hilgegurls, Electric Ordo Virtutum  The abbess Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) must be first female composer in the history of Western music- or at least the first one that we know about by name. She was a multitalented Benedictine nun: she was a poetess, mystic, visionary, author of medical and scientific treatises, a "woman of letters" and writer of hagiographies. She wrote both words and music for a medieval morality play in Latin language, Ordo Virtutum ("The Order of the Virtues"), for which she supplied eighty two monodic melodies, ie. plainchants. Now in the twenty first century the five voices of the Hildegurls have adapted the play for modern performance with considerable electronic sonic enhancements. Heading the members of the vocal ensemble is a contemporary American composer Lisa Bielawa (b. 1968). Regular listeners to this program will remember her for the audio part of her video opera Vireo: The Spiritual Biography of a Witch's Accuser (2015), broadcast on this program on Halloween Sunday of 2021. The Hildegurls' Electric Ordo Virtutum was released to the public in 2009. More sacred vocal music from the medieval period will follow.


SUNDAY MARCH 30TH Monteverdi, The Lost Vespers Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) is regarded as the founder of the new baroque style in both secular, theatrical music and sacred music for the Church. We know him best from his L'Orfeo (1607), the world's first true opera. As Maestro di capella at St. Mark's basilica in Venice, he wrote a considerable body of choral music for the Roman Catholic liturgy. Prior that prestigious appointment he wrote vocal music for devotional purposes in the princely private chapels of Northern Italy. Both L'Orfeo and his Vespers of 1610 appeared in printed editions during his lifetime, and in modern times both masterworks have been relatively frequently performed and recorded. Recordings of the Monteverdi operas and his Latin motets I have featured from time to time. Monteverdi wrote even more sacred choral music that was collected into two volumes. The first was published near the end of his life. This collection was called Selve morale e spirituali (1641), with a posthumous collection to follow, Missa et psalmi (1650). It's entirely possible to put together a complete Vespers service from the various items in those compilations. That is precisely what conductor Matthew Robertson and the singers and instrumentalists of The Thirteen have accomplished in The Lost Vespers. This music wasn't exactly "lost," only much overlooked in Monteverdi's published output. The Lost Vespers was recorded in 2023 at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America in Washington, DC. On this fourth Lenten Sunday hear these American Vespers in the new compact disc release from Acis Productions (2024).

Boomer's Paradise


Monday's 1-4 PM with your host, The Turtle Man


Welcome to March, a transitional month on the calendar weather-wise but here on Boomers Paradise we rock steady.


This month begins with a peek back to the music scene in March 1975 with tracks from albums released that month. We'll also delve into the famous "Nuggets Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era".


From there we wrap up a theme around song titles dealing with the broad subject of money and continue with the theme of song titles featuring numbers.


We then expand our musical minds with some psychedelic music from a couple of interesting box sets on the topic and sandwich in between with some "birth of the surf music" and if time permits open a big box of blues.


Moving on we explore the elements in song titles and song titles about streets, roads, highways and other avenues of land travel.


Then we end the month on a little "give" and "take" song title wise.


So musical path has been charted and to reach this musical destination all you need to do is tune in to WWUH 91.3 fm or wwuh.org every Monday from 1-4 PM and join me, your host The Turtle Man.
