Any “Moonrise Kingdom” fans out there?
Wes Anderson’s deadpan narrative about first love, dysfunctional adults, and an impending hurricane makes heavy use of Benjamin Britten’s “Noye’s Fludde” (“Noah’s Flood”). Britten’s biblical drama in music, inspired by a medieval mystery play, employs a costumed children’s chorus to represent the various animals on the ark.
“Noye’s Fludde” will be the featured highlight this morning on WPRB, as we immerse ourselves in music related to excessive precipitation, swelling floodwaters, and uplifting rainbows. It’s the natural extension of a soggy week in the Princeton area, with showers and thunderstorms expected to continue through at least Tuesday.
We’ll throw you a lifesaver, this Sunday morning from 7 to 10 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. Prepare to be taken by storm, on Classic Ross Amico.
