I Remember Shostakovich
Sunday, September 24, 8 p.m.
At the centenary of the birth of Dmitri Shostakovich, distinguished
musicians and others who had personal contact with the composer
recall their conversations with him. We hear firsthand recollections
from performing artists and others who spoke with Shostakovich about
his music, learning from him how he wanted his works performed.
They recount divergent views on the inspiration behind Shostakovich's
creativity, and whether or not his music can be related to any specific
events or people-as has been claimed by some and rejected by others.
Their recollections bring us vitally close to the heart of one of
the most complex and profound composers of the twentieth century.
The program also includes extracts from a recently discovered recording
of Shostakovich answering questions about his music put to him by
members of the public at Northwestern University.
Host and producer Jon Tolansky is joined by Vladimir Ashkenazy,
Rudolf Barshai, Lord Harewood, Mariss Jansons, Sir Charles Mackerras,
Kurt Masur, Mstislav Rostropovich, Elizabeth Wilson, Maxim Shostakovitch,
and other luminaries. Music performed includes extracts from Shostakovich's
symphonies, quartets, operas, ballets, and film scores.

Ragtime to the Max
Sundays at 4 p.m.
This thirteen-week series concludes with episodes ten through thirteen.
Hosted by Max Morath.
Sunday, September 3
"Ragtime East"
The music that took the odd name "ragtime" developed somewhat
independently on the East Coast and in the Mississippi Valley. The
eastern composers often worked in theater and dance, making piano
rolls, publishing less than their western brethren.
"Ragtime West"
Sunday, September 10
Ragtime in the West was centered in Chicago and St. Louis, as two
great World Fairs in those cities created hundreds of jobs for musicians
and band leaders. Music here is piano-dominated, along with groups
and orchestras.
"Goodbye Ragtime, Hello Jazz"
Sunday, September 17
By 1920, a number of forces had combined to transform ragtime from
its original dynamism and excitement to quaintness and neglect.
Musically, there was a new style called "jazz" coming
east from New Orleans and Chicago, and it was propelled by a new
bunch of players and composers, matching the enthusiasm of the kids
a generation before who brought ragtime to the nation.
"Ragtime Here and Now"
Sunday, September 24
This final program is devoted entirely to the new ragtime canon,
as contemporary composers write rags that fuse the techniques of
the past with the harmonies and techniques of the present. Ragtime
continues to flourish and bring renewed vigor to America's musical
heritage.

Everything Was Right: The Beatles'
"Revolver"
September 3, 8 p.m.
When rock music critics and fans are asked to rank the top rock
albums of all time, The Beatles' 1966 release Revolver either heads
the list or falls into the top tier. To mark the fortieth anniversary
year of the album's release, producer and host Paul Ingles tells
the story of this landmark album and of its influence on the pop/rock
music scene.
Ingles talks with historians, musicians, music critics, and fans,
spotlighting each Revolver track (along with the 1966 single "Paperback
Writer/Rain"). The Beatles experimented with new sounds and
subject matter on Revolver, pioneering psychedelic rock on some
tracks and exhibiting extraordinary song craft on others. You'll
hear about the sources for the tunes and the studio experiments
the Beatles used to get their ground-breaking sounds.
Among the guest commentators is Mark Lewisohn, author of "The
Beatles Recording Sessions." The only journalist to have listened
to every second of the Beatles' studio recordings, Lewisohn is a
major authority on the band's history.
The program also features music writers Jim Derogatis, Steve Turner,
Jeff Sobul, and Stuart Maddow. Musicians Shawn Colvin, Mark Erelli,
John Leventhal, Deborah Holland, Richard Goldman, David Gans, Kristy
Kruger, and Jon Spurney join other Beatles fans to talk about their
favorite tracks on what is arguably the greatest album by the greatest
band of all time.

Making
Cities Work
Sundays, September 10 and 17, 8 p.m.
It is projected that in the next fifty years, two-thirds of humanity
will live in cities. A major challenge will be to minimize poverty,
crime, and urban alienation while improving access to basic services
and a better quality of life. In this two-part documentary from
BBC's The Changing World, architecture critic Devan Sudjic looks
at cutting-edge solutions for transportation and housing as well
as ways of making cities cleaner and more livable.
Sudjic travels to the U.N.'s World Urban Forum in Vancouver, which
brings together the best thinking on creating a better future
for cities. "Making Cities Work" examines the lessons
learned from New Orleans in the months after the flooding, and
looks at Dubai, an oil-rich but population-poor state that is
creating a vast modern city. Sudjic goes on to look at Mumbai's
attempts to plan its way out of traffic gridlock, and then at
the squatter areas of Istanbul where the debate is whether cheap
slum housing is worth saving, or whether it is an illegal blemish
that should be demolished and replaced.

John Jenkins: Six-Part Consorts (Avie AV2099)
Phantasm
In the 1670's Thomas Mace described the works of John Jenkins as
"Divine Raptures, Powerfully Captivating all our unruly Faculties,
and Affections, and disposing us to Solidity, Gravity, and a Good
Temper, making us capable of Heavenly, and Divine Influences."
This is music likely written in the 1620s for talented groups of
amateurs. Played here by one of the finest professional viol consorts
today (including IU faculty member Wendy Gillespie), these works
prove to be Divine Raptures indeed.
September 11th - 17th
Arvo Pärt: Da Pacem (Harmonia Mundi HMU 907401)
Paul Hillier/Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir
Following two other critically acclaimed albums Paul Hillier has
recorded for Harmonia Mundi dedicated to the choral music of Estonian
composer Arvo Pärt, this recording contains some of Pärt's
newest works as well as a few older pieces that Hillier had yet
to record. Taken as a group, these albums comprise what many consider
the definitive survey of Pärt's sacred choral music. The performances
here are transcendent and the Harmonia Mundi engineers have produced
a clear yet spacious sound.
September 18th - 24th
Joseph Schmitt: Early Symphonies and Chamber Music (Pentatone Classics
PTC 5186 039)
Simon Murphy: New Dutch Academy Chamber Orchestra and Soloists
One of the most prolific composers in 18th century Amsterdam, Joseph
Schmitt is known as "The Dutch Haydn." Many of his works
have only recently come to light due to a series of unfortunate
events that left them either buried in libraries or attributed to
other composers (including Haydn himself). This disc features the
premiere recordings of five of Schmitt's works in energetic period
instrument performances by the New Dutch Academy.
September 25th - October 1st

The Iron Curtain Lifts a Bit Higher
Phase Two of the US-Ukrainian exchange program took place in July
when three staff members from Radio Mix, a commercial radio station
in Dnipropetrovsk, came to observe radio operations at WFIU.
The first phase had taken place earlier this year when WFIU Station
Manager Christina Kuzmych (who is of Ukrainian descent) and Operations
Director Cary Boyce traveled to Dnipropetrovsk.
Program Director Vyacheslav (Slava) Ibryayev, Station Director Dmytro
(Dmitri) Zapashchykov, and Broadcasting Director Ylena Kotova were
accompanied by interpreters Yuliya Churakova and Ismayil Khairedinov.
The Ukrainians met with WFIU personnel for ten days to discuss such
topics as administration, operations, news, marketing, hardware,
software, policies, public relations, digital streaming and Webcasting,
and the future of radio.
Their trip was funded by the International Research and Exchanges
Board, an international nonprofit organization that provides leadership
and programs to improve the quality of education, strengthen independent
media, and foster pluralistic civil society development. The organization
is supported by government, business, and private individuals.
The visit began with a meeting between IREX representative Halina
Izdebska and IU Dean of International Programs Patrick O'Meara,
who provided an overview of IU's international programs and activities.
After settling into their accommodations at the Indiana Memorial
Union, the exchange began.
"Some of our most interesting and intense discussion centered
around differences in our mission and operation," says Station
Manager Christina Kuzmych. "While WFIU exists to serve our
community and society, Radio Mix is a commercial station that seeks
a solid return on investment through programming that will attract
advertisers. It's an interesting difference, not unlike the one
between commercial and public radio stations in the U.S. The Ukrainians,
however, do take local news much more seriously. Our Ukrainian colleagues
were also a bit intrigued with the idea of public service through
radio."
Among their many activities during their whirlwind visit, the Ukrainians
got a taste of public service American-style when they helped out
at the Red Cross Book Drive, which WFIU staff members volunteer
for each year.
"Watching listeners unload boxes of books at the Bloomington
Borders was an interesting experience for them," Marketing
Director Scott Witzke says. "Volunterism is not as rampant
in the ex-Soviet union counties as it is in the U.S."
The Ukrainian radio ambassadors also made an appearance on Noon
Edition with hosts Bob Zaltsburg and Mary Catherine Carmichael,
with some assistance from interpreters Yuliya and Ismayil.
Of special interest to the Ukrainians were sessions with Robert
Potter, assistant professor of telecommunications. They sought his
opinions on devising strategies for an upcoming change in musical
format and accompanying marketing campaign.
"They wanted to know ways in which I would suggest they market
their station in their city of over a million people," says
Potter. "We talked about hot clocks, rotations, jingles, and
stopsets-all through the interpreters. It was an amazing experience."
They also met with about twenty teachers and students in IU's summer
Russian language program, where two of the Ukrainians gave a panel
presentation in Russian on their work.
The visit was not all work and no play. Side trips included a visit
to Jazz in July at the IU Art Museum, drives to Chicago and Indianapolis,
a tour of campus including the Jacobs School of Music, the Lilly
Library, and the Kinsey Institute. Activities also included a barbeque
and several meals with WFIU staff.
The third phase of the IREX exchange will take place in December
when radio journalists from Radio Mix travel to Bloomington to spend
time with the WFIU news department.
Should you hear some occasional Ukrainian or Russian spoken at WFIU
or coming over the airwaves, don't be surprised. It's détente
of the best kind.

Jazz Notes
by David Brent Johnson
As a new school year starts at Indiana University, there will be
an increasing number of live jazz and cultural events for music
lovers to attend-and you can hear about those events every weekday
afternoon on Joe Bourne's Just You and Me. In addition to the great
music and artist interviews that Joe likes to feature, he provides
an arts and entertainment calendar, letting you know about the many
movies, festivals, and concerts going on throughout the WFIU listening
area. You can find out even more information by going to the show's
Web site at justyouandme.indiana.edu and clicking on the links to
calendars from the IU School of Music and Jazz From Bloomington.
Playing jazz on the radio is Joe's first love, and you can continue
to hear him do that on Friday nights, when he hosts The Big Bands
from 9 to 10 p.m. Preceding The Big Bands is the long-running Piano
Jazz With Marion McPartland; Marian's guests this month include
guitarist Jim Hall; singer Norah Jones, running through a set of
standards at Tanglewood; piano prodigy Taylor Eigsti; pianist and
arranger Jon Weber; and Grammy-winning vocalist Linda Ronstadt,
who's been drawing from the Great American Songbook since the early
1980s.
The Great American Songbook gets more-than-periodic visits every
Friday evening on WFIU at 10:05 p.m. with Afterglow. This month
on Afterglow we'll feature samplings from a massive new collection
of Nat King Cole's late-1950s Capitol recordings; a live 1973 Tokyo
performance from Sarah Vaughan; sultry, smoky-voiced Lee Wiley's
1957 record West of the Moon; releases both old and new from Nancy
Wilson; and, in an ongoing Afterglow tradition, "Songs of the
Season" on September 29, ushering in October and the spell
of autumn. Whatever the season, you can always hear Afterglow via
our Web site, at afterglow.indiana.edu.
Jazz continues on Saturday evenings with Night Lights, a historical
program devoted to jazz artists and jazz in culture from 1945 to
1990-an era that roughly parallels the career of Miles Davis on
record as well as the Cold War. This month's shows include "I
Want to Live!," with music and dialogue from the 1958 Susan
Hayward movie about a wayward woman and jazz fan on death row; the
score was written by Johnny Mandel and recorded by a host of West
Coast jazz stars, Gerry Mulligan and Art Farmer among them. "Jazz
Does Disney" takes a look at the numerous jazz interpretations
of music from the wonderful cinematic world of Walt, while "Red
Trane" celebrates the 80th anniversary of John Coltrane's birth
with collaborations between the tenor giant and pianist Red Garland.
Other Night Lights programs focus on jazz impresario Norman Granz's
1950 coffeetable anthology The Jazz Scene and the scant but impressive
encounters between vocalist Betty Roche and the 1940s Duke Ellington
Orchestra. All Night Lights programs become available for listening
two days after broadcast in the archives section of the show's Web
site at nightlights.indiana.edu.
For the best in late night blues, stick around after Night Lights
for Bob Porter's Portraits in Blue, a showcase for many of the legendary
musicians who have graced the musical landscape of America for the
past 70 years. We hope you'll stick around in general-and let us
know your thoughts about the jazz programming at WFIU by e-mailing
us at wfiu@indiana.edu, or by calling our listener response line
at 812-856-5352.

A program leaving our airwaves is From the Top, a weekly show of
skits, interviews, and music, focusing on young pre-collegiate performers.
In its place, WFIU is planning to produce programming of performances
by local and Indiana young musicians that will concentrate more
on the young artists and the musical performances.
You can continue to enjoy From the Top by listening to the current
show and archived editions on the program's Web site: www.fromthetop.org.

"The Ride of Our Lives"
by Mike Leonard
Begins: Thursday, August 31
Number of episodes: fifteen
Mike Leonard is a lucky man. It's not everyone who gets parents
like Jack and Marge.
But what was their son Mike thinking about when he took a sabbatical
from his job with
NBC News so he could pile his parents, his grown kids, and a daughter-in-law
into a pair
of rented RVs and hit the road for a month?
Mike was thinking that he wanted to give his parents the ultimate
family reunion. And so, one February morning, three generations
of Leonards set out on their journey under the dazzling Arizona
sky.
In the course of their humorous and often poignant cross-country
tour, from the desert Southwest to the New England coastline, the
Leonards reminisce about their loves, their losses, and their rich
and heartwarming (and sometimes heartbreaking) lives, while encountering
a veritable Greek chorus of roadside characters along the way. Through
it all, Mike pieces together a century of family lore and lunacy-and
discovers surprising sides to his parents that allow him to see
them in a whole new light.
Author Mike Leonard has captivated millions of television viewers
with his wry and witty feature stories for NBC's Today.
"The Whistling Season"
by Ivan Doig
Begins: Friday, September 22
Number of episodes: approx. twenty-two
"Can't cook but doesn't bite." So begins the newspaper
ad offering the services of an "A-1 housekeeper with sound
morals and exceptional disposition" that draws the hungry attention
of widower Oliver Milliron in 1909.
And so begins the unforgettable season that deposits the noncooking,
nonbiting, ever-whistling Rose Llewellyn and her fount-of-knowledge
brother, Morris Morgan, along with a stampede of homesteaders drawn
by the promise of the Big Ditch-a gargantuan irrigation project
intended to make the Montana prairie bloom. When the schoolmarm
runs off with an itinerant preacher, Morris is pressed into service,
setting the stage for the "several kinds of education"
Morris and Rose will bring to Oliver, his three sons, and the rambunctious
students in the region's one-room schoolhouse.
A paean to a vanished way of life and the eccentric individuals
and institutions that nourished it.

WFIU Future Fund
Radio broadcasting is undergoing rapid change. One of WFIU's missions
is to keep up with change, ensuring the best possible service to
both our current listeners and listeners of the future.
This future takes us beyond today's broadcasting, into a world where
anyone, anywhere will be able to access our programs at any time.
These changes require a major investment in technology that go well
beyond the resources we generate through our annual membership program
that supports our daily operation.
To financially support these new initiatives, we created the WFIU
Future Fund. Thoughtful gifts to the Fund have come in many forms-from
direct cash gifts of support, to stock, retirement, insurance policies,
and estate plans. The Future Fund Charter Donors are listed below,
with WFIU's gratitude.
We welcome your participation in helping WFIU stay in the broadcasting
forefront. Listeners may support the WFIU Future Fund, or any number
of giving and naming opportunities beginning at $1,000 that permit
individuals and businesses to become involved beyond an annual membership
or underwriting gift.
To learn how you can become involved, contact Judy Witt, WFIU/WTIU
Major and Planned Gifts Officer, at jwitt@indiana.edu or 812-855-2935.
