Episode 37 - 1979: Joseph Schwantner, Aftertones of Infinity
Update: 2022-10-21
Description
In this episode, Andrew and Dave explore a composer they first encountered with his music for wind band. In his Pulitzer-winning work, Schwantner fashioned a composition critics have described as creating a "poetic illusion—but only an illusion— of movement." Will this illusion win them over?
