Episode 54 - 1996: George Walker, Lilacs for Voice and Orchestra
Update: 2024-10-19
Description
In this episode, Dave and Andrew discuss a song cycle in all but name, George Walker's Lilacs. From the outside, this win looks like another lifetime achievement award, but is it? And does Lilacs remind them of music from an earlier period in the Pulitzer's history?
