Always a pleasure to see Samuel Barber's "Hermit Songs" original holograph presented by Performing Arts at the Library of Congress in the display case every Founder's Day, especially on this 100th anniversary concert (it was a birthday gift to Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, with Barber playing piano on this stage with Leontyne Price for the world premiere).
Happy 250th birthday, Caspar David Friedrich! (A short film I made upon visiting his exhibition in Berlin.)

R.I.P., David. It was such a pleasure to reflect with you, in what appears to have been one of your last, if not final, recorded interview(s). What a life, and what a body of work left behind! May it ring forever.Episode 5 of Capricorn Conversations is available now! Renowned composer David Del Tredici is joined by pianist Marc Peloquin in a conversation with filmmaker H. Paul Moon, discussing David’s distinctive and bold Neo-Romantic body of work, ranging from his settings of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice In Wonderland,” to his piano works performed and recorded by Marc. David recounts his interactions with Samuel Barber:, Leonard Bernstein, Leonard Slatkin, and many more legends in 20th century music. The one-hour conversation is available now on all major podcast platforms:
