Coming up at 6pm weekdays, on Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin: Tone Poems 🎨Generally, tone… poems use music to evoke the essence of a painting, a poem, or other non-musical source. In a literal case of art imitating life, symphonic music is freed from its traditional structures and takes a programmatic turn. Bill invites us to sit with him as he describes and listens to this image-evoking dramatic music in works like Ottorino Respighi’s Gli Uccelli and George Gershwin’s American in Paris.
