Tag: Mediterranean Music

This Sunday night on “The Lost Chord,” leave all your troubles behind, as we take a musical vacation to the Mediterranean.

We’ll have a work by Charles Camilleri, Malta’s national composer – his “Mediterranean Dances” – and a guitar concerto by an apparently shoeless John McLaughlin. McLaughlin is better known as a jazz or jazz fusion artist. We’ll hear his infectious “Mediterranean Concerto,” a work of ambitious scope, about twice the length of your average guitar concerto. McLaughlin kept a home along the Mediterranean at the time of the work’s composition. We all should be so lucky! Thankfully, we can live vicariously through the music.

Join me for “Mediterranean Muse” – musical souvenirs of the Mediterranean basin – this Sunday night at 10 EDT; or listen to it later as a webcast at wwfm.org.

I thought it might be refreshing to take a musical vacation to the Mediterranean this week. To this end, this Sunday night on “The Lost Chord,” we’ll have two works inspired by the Mediterranean and its cultures. The first is by Charles Camilleri, Malta’s national composer. We’ll hear his “Mediterranean Dances.”

We’ll also have a guitar concerto by John McLaughlin, a figure better known as a jazz or jazz fusion artist. We’ll hear his infectious “Mediterranean Concerto,” a work of ambitious scope, about twice the length of your average guitar concerto.

McLaughlin made his home along the Mediterranean at the time of the work’s composition. We all should be so lucky. Thankfully, we can live vicariously through the music!

Join me for “Mediterranean Muse” – musical souvenirs of the Mediterranean basin – tonight at 10 ET, with a repeat Friday morning at 3. Or you can catch the show later as a webcast at http://www.wwfm.org.
