Every Voice and Sing! covers the rise, fall, and re-invention of allblack singing groups and their music—from the slave sorrow songs,
work songs, Negro spirituals, and European selections that made
up their repertoires, to the birth and growth of what is now called
gospel music.
The series, which began in February and concludes with
these three programs, explores the unique choral legacy of black
institutions of higher learning, tracing the emotional and physical
obstacles and triumphs of the students, their schools, and, their
touring singing groups—among them, the Hampton Concert Choir,
the Fisk Jubilee Singers, the Morehouse Glee Club, the Wilberforce
Concert Choir, and many others—all beacons of hope, then and
now.

March 11
The propulsive, rhythmic music of pioneering minimalist composer Steve Reich
is represented by two major works: his
Three Movements for Orchestra, which
showcases the LA Philharmonic’s percussion section; and Tehillim, his classic
setting of Hebrew psalms, sung by Synergy
Vocals.
“Jean-Yves Thibaudet”
March 18
The brilliant French pianist brings to the
Disney stage his nuanced and atmospheric
interpretations of his countryman Maurice
Ravel. Thibaudet also puts his unique
pianistic stamp on works by Robert
Schumann.
This program explores the rising arc and initial changes in collegeinfluenced black choral music. We hear how composers and
directors like John Work III, William Dawson, John R. Johnson,
Hall Johnson, and Harry T. Burleigh, as well as how Hollywood
movies and certain venues, such as Radio City Music Hall, affected
the music and its acceptance.
March 11
“A Different Drummer.”
In this episode we first look at the origins and rise of gospel music,
primarily through the life of Thomas A. Dorsey. We trace its struggle
for acceptance in black churches from the 1930s to the mid-1960s,
and conclude with an examination of its various forms today—from
the traditional gospel of Thomas Dorsey, to Shirley Caesar and
Aretha Franklin, and the hip-hop gospel selections of Kanye West
and Kirk Franklin.
Renée Montagne
“Songwriter’s Summit: Guy Clark, Joe Ely,
John Hiatt, and Lyle Lovett”
March 4
Four singer-songwriters who straddle folk
and country share some of their favorite
new songs and old standards, slipping in
a few tributes to the city of Los Angeles,
home to the dazzling Disney Concert Hall.

“A Joyful Noise!”
The series concludes with an exploration of the legacy of the black
college choral music tradition. We hear the work of choral directors
Nathan Carter, Roland Carter, William Garcia, Moses Hogan, and
some new generation directors like Eric Conway, Damon Dandridge,
and Jeremy Winston; how they have come to terms with the power
and reach of gospel music; how the jazz-based vocals of groups like
Take 6, and the world music sound of Ladysmith Black Mambazo
connect to the black college choral music tradition; and, finally,
what it all means to the future of the music.

After Welfare
When asked in surveys, Americans say
they want to help poor people make their
lives better, but don’t like giving handouts.
The long-running struggle over government’s response to poverty is all about
these mixed feelings. How should society
reach out to people who lack opportunity,
but at the same time, require just the right
amount of effort?
In August 1996, President Bill Clinton
signed a landmark law that fulfilled his
promise to “end welfare as we know
it.” The law killed the sixty-year-old Aid
to Families with Dependent Children
program. Instead, Congress gave the
states money to run their own programs
and required them to move many welfare
recipients into the workforce. Supporters
declared it a new day, the beginning of
self-sufficiency for poor families. Others
warned the action would push women and
children into the streets, perhaps by the
millions.
Jean-Yves Thibaudet
“World Showcase”
March 25
Three continents find voice in this
showcase of sounds from Disney Hall.
From Europe comes Le Mystère des Voix
Bulgares, a women’s group of Bulgarian
folk singers whose eerie harmonies,
whoops, hollers, and rhythmic complexity
meld into an unforgettable performance.
From Asia, Balinese master I Nyoman
Wenten leads Gamelan Burat Wangi, a
group of pitched and unpitched percussion
instruments, flutes, and vocalists. And
from Africa, Les Ballets Africains, a troupe
of drummers, singers, and dancers from
Guinea raise the roof off Disney Hall with
intensity and joy.
Corrin Conticello
In this new American RadioWorks
documentary, producer John Biewen traces
how the 1996 welfare reforms changed
some lives for the better, and caused the
welfare rolls to plummet. But the number
of Americans living in poverty has stayed
about the same. And it turns out the
government is spending more than ever
on programs that minimize the effects
of poverty. So even though most people
consider welfare reform a success, there’s
something in its results to disappoint
almost everybody.
Lyle Lovett
March 2007 / Directions in Sound / Page Birth
Few things are
more profound
or delightful than
bringing new life
into the world.
Birth traces this
phenomenal, yet
commonplace
event, beginning
with early perceptions about the
process. It then
moves from the
hours before labor into labor itself, and
ends with the time after a baby’s birth.
This sound-rich documentary examines the
birth process from multiple perspectives—
emotional, physical, and philosophical.
The program features Tina Cassidy,
author of “Birth: A Surprising History of
How We’re Born,” and includes interviews
with doctors, midwives, doulas, historians,
parents, and children. Moving through
time and from person to person, you will
discover how life stories, history, biology,
media, anthropology, and medicine merge
and culminate in the birth process.
Join us in this engaging look at birth
practices and perceptions in America.
Intelligence Squared
The latest program in the Intelligence
Squared series presents another informative live debate using Oxford-style debating—one sharply-framed motion, one
moderator, three advocates for the motion
and three against.
The motion on the table tonight
is “Global Warming is Not a Crisis.”
Arguing for the motion are novelist
Michael Crichton, Alfred P. Sloan
Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at
MIT Richard S. Lindzen, and Emeritus
Professor and biogeographer from the
University of London, Philip Stott.
Arguing against the motion are Union
of Concerned Scientists’ representative
Brenda Ekwurzel, NASA scientist Gavin
Schmidt, and climatologist Richard C.J.
Somerville. The moderator is New York
public radio talk show host Brian Lehrer.
Lang Lang:
Dragon Songs
Artist of the Month:
André Watts
by Adam P Schweigert
Lauded by audiences and critics alike for
his exceptional technique and engaging
personality, pianist Lang Lang has won
hearts and souls worldwide with his brilliant and beautiful playing. This program
explores the inimitable spirit that makes
him so appealing, from his discovery of
music as a child in China to his successes
on concert stages around the world.
This month WFIU features pianist and
IU faculty member André Watts. Watts
recently joined one of the newest additions
to the faculty of the IU Jacobs School of
Music, conductor Leonard Slatkin, for a
series of concerts with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in
Washington, D.C.

Lang Lang
The subject of a best-selling biography in China, Lang Lang has performed
with many of the major orchestras of the
world, received numerous awards, and
has been seen by millions of television
viewers throughout the world. His 2004
performance with Sir Simon Rattle and the
Berlin Philharmonic at the Waldbühne was
attended by 23,000 people and was broadcast internationally on TV. In 2002 he
became the first recipient of the Leonard
Bernstein Award at the Schleswig-Holstein
Festival.
Apart from his music career, Lang
Lang is passionately dedicated to sharing
music with young people and was recently
recognized for his efforts by UNICEF, who
appointed him their newest and youngest
international Goodwill Ambassador. In
this role, Lang Lang garners support and
raises funds for the survival and well being
of under-privileged children all over the
world.
In Lang Lang: Dragon Songs, the
pianist takes us on a journey through his
homeland, playing both the traditional
and contemporary music of China with
his new release Dragon Songs. Join us in a
celebration of the unexplored richness of
Chinese music, and hear how Lang Lang
incorporates it into his own cosmopolitan
view of music.
André Watts
Watts has been a member of the piano
faculty since 2004, and in addition to his
teaching, he maintains an active performing career as recitalist, soloist, and
chamber musician. He has appeared as
soloist with the world’s major orchestras
and as a guest artist and teacher at major
summer music festivals. In 1988, Watts
was selected to receive the Avery Fisher
Prize, and he has been the recipient of an
honorary doctorate from Yale, and the
Distinguished Alumni Award from the
Peabody Conservatory.
This month we feature Watts in several
recordings, including the Second Piano
Concerto of Camille Saint-Saëns, the
work Watts recently performed with the
National Symphony Orchestra under
Leonard Slatkin.

satellite dishes . . .
Ice may
be pretty,
but where
broadcasting
is concerned,
it can be
troublesome.
The days
surrounding
John Shelton clears ice off the
Valentine’s
satellite dish atop the Radio-TV
Building in 2004
Day at WFIU
were marked by snow closings, power outages,
a snow-covered satellite dish, and briefly
interrupted service.
Tony Bennett was crooning about leaving
his heart in San Francisco when service was
interrupted during a broadcast of Just You
and Me, prompting Jazz Producer David Brent
Johnson and Operations Director Cary Boyce
to race to the roof of the Radio-TV Building to
clear off the ice on the satellite dish. Our brave
engineer John Shelton also made treks to the
roof, coming in at two a.m. to scrape the ice
off the dish with an eight-foot long squeegee.
Jazz Notes
by David Brent Johnson, jazz producer
Both lions and lambs are welcome at the WFIU jazz department throughout the month
of March. We’ll be ushering in the beginning of the end of winter with new releases from
Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau (a quartet followup to their recent duo CD) Wynton
Marsalis, organist Joey DeFrancesco, and vocalists Kurt Elling and Tierney Sutton. You
can hear these and much more every weekday afternoon on Just You and Me with Joe
Bourne.
Later in the month tune in for a visit from area bassist Jeremy Allen, who has worked
with Bob Brookmeyer and Kenny Wheeler as well as many of our local luminaries; live
recordings from John Coltrane’s first quartet, performing at the Jazz Gallery in New
York City circa 1960; a Buddy Guy blues special; and Duke Ellington’s The Jaywalker, a
fascinating private document of the Ellington band at work in the 1966-67 period.
Friday nights are jazz-active as always, kicking off with Marian McPartland’s Piano
Jazz at 8 p.m. Marian’s guests this month include one of the last greats from the bigband era, trumpeter and bandleader Gerald Wilson, and pianists John Stetch, Helen
Sung, and Roger Kellaway, as well as a vintage 1991 interview with Mr. Ray Charles.
You can keep swingin’ with Joe Bourne on The Big Bands at 9 p.m., and then ease into
Afterglow at 10:05. Afterglow features for March include Roberta Gambarini (music
from her Grammy-nominated Easy to Love, as well as a new release with pianist Hank
Jones, Lush Life), a 75th birthday tribute to vocalist Mark Murphy, ballads by trumpeter
Clifford Brown, two 1950s Decca LPs from torch jazz singer Jeri Southern, and a look
back at the career of Susannah McCorkle, subject of a new biography by Linda Dahl
(Haunted Heart).
Stick around Saturday for Night Lights, our lateevening historical jazz program, with a special emphasis
this month on women jazz artists. Our long-planned
Alice Coltrane show will now, sadly, be of a memorial
nature; we’ll also have programs about Nina Simone’s
genre-bending late 1960s RCA recordings, the 1940s allfemale swing band International Sweethearts of Rhythm,
the 1980s work of guitarist Emily Remler, and “Miss
Peggy Lee: Songwriter,” focusing on tunes written by the
legendary vocalist. (She wrote more than 200 of them.)
And after March? We’re already looking forward to some springtime serenades; in
the meantime, tune in, or visit us on the Web at justyouandme.indiana.edu, afterglow.
indiana.edu, and nightlights.indiana.edu, where you can hear many of our programs
after they’ve been broadcast.
Marge Gravit 1907-2007
WFIU lost one of its most loyal friends when Marge
Gravit died in January.
Station Manager Christina Kuzmych and staff
member Sharon Beikman were frequent visitors to
Marge at the Meadowood Health Pavilion since last
August.
“Marge had been with WFIU since we went on
the air more than fifty years ago,” said Kuzmych.
“She listened to WFIU constantly, befriended our
announcers, and was quick to praise or chastise us.”
Marge was also an ardent Ether Game player for
years, an involvement that earned her the informal
title of “The Grande Dame of Ether Game.”
“She was a large part of our history,” said
Kuzmych. “We will truly miss her.”
Marge Gravit turned 100 last May. The Ether
Game broadcast following her death was dedicated
to her.

Jazz Grofe and Gershwin (Bridge 9212)
Al Gallodoro, a. sax.; Lincoln Mayorga,
p.; Steven Richman/Harmonie Ensemble of
New York
On February 24 , 1924, bandleader
Paul Whiteman gave a concert titled “An
Experiment in Modern Music” in which
he introduced to the public Gershwin’s
Rhapsody in Blue and other works in a
genre known at the time as “symphonic
jazz.” This new CD from Bridge Records
focuses on another name to emerge from
that concert, Ferde Grofé. Known primarily for his Grand Canyon Suite, and as the
orchestrator of Rhapsody in Blue, Grofé
also wrote a number of arrangements and
original compositions for the Whiteman
Orchestra in a collaboration lasting twelve
years as chief arranger and orchestrator.
This disc includes the original Whiteman
Orchestra versions of the Grand Canyon
Suite and Mississippi Suite, as well as two
lesser known works, Grofé’s orchestration
of Gershwin’s Second Rhapsody and the
premiere recording of his original composition, the Serenade for Saxophone and
Piano, written for Whiteman’s lead reed
player, Al Gallodoro.

Dowland: Dowland’s Tears (Lute Music,
vol. 2) (Naxos 8.557862)
Nigel North, lute
This CD is the second in a series of
recordings by lutenist and IU Early Music
Institute faculty member Nigel North
devoted to the complete lute works of
Shakespeare contemporary, English
composer and lutenist John Dowland.
While the first disc was devoted to
Dowland’s Fantasies and some slightly
more upbeat works, this disc showcases
Dowland’s more melancholic side. It
includes the well-known Lachrimae Pavan
as well as other pavans and galliards
written around the turn of the 17th century.
It is immediately clear that North has a
deep connection to this repertoire, and
this recording leaves the listener waiting
for the next installment in what is so far
shaping up to be an excellent series.

Featured Classical
Recordings
Sir Colin Davis/London Sym. Orch.
One of the strongest nationalist statements
in music, Czech composer Bedrich
Smetana composed the six tone poems of
Má vlast [My Fatherland] between 1874
and 1879. He would never hear them
performed, due to the onset of his deafness
in 1874. The work comprises six tone
poems in all celebrating the countryside,
history, and people of Bohemia including
the popular depiction of the Moldau River,
Vltava. The performance here by the
London Symphony Orchestra is a live
recording made in 2005 and released on
their house label, LSO Live.

Shostakovich: Piano Trios (Warner Classics 2564 62514-2)
Joan Rodgers, s.; Beaux Arts Trio
Nicholas Sparks
Beginning Monday, March 26
Approx number of episodes: nineteen
John Tyree was an angry rebel who had
enlisted in the army after high school, not
knowing what else to do. Then, during a
furlough, he meets Savannah Lynn Curtis,
the girl of his dreams. Savannah is attending college in North Carolina, working
for Habitat for Humanity, and totally
unprepared for the passionate attraction
she feels for John Tyree.
Neither can foresee that 9/11 is about
to change the world and will force John
to risk every hope and dream that he’s
ever had. Like so many proud men and
women, John must choose between love
and country. And like all those left behind,
Savannah must decide to wait or move on.
Now, when John finally returns to North
Carolina, he will discover that loving Savannah will force him to make the hardest
decision of his life.
A Grammy nominee for Best Chamber
Music Performance, the Beaux Arts Trio
(with founding member pianist and IU
faculty member Menahem Pressler) present
a new recording of the two piano trios of
Dmitri Shostakovich. An interesting study,
the works come from radically different
periods in Shostakovich’s life, the first trio
being written when he was just 17 and the
second in the middle of his life during the
Second World War, in 1943. To fill out the
disc, the trio is joined by English soprano
Joan Rodgers for a work from very late in
Shostakovich’s life, the Seven Romances
on Verses by Alexander Blok, op. 127.
The trios are both well played, with
youthful energy in the first and sarcastic
reticence in the second, but Rodgers
performance in the Blok songs is the real
gem here.
March 11 – Bill Bryson
Writer Bill Bryson tells uncommon stories in his bestselling
books. From the Appalachian Trail’s interior in “A Walk in
the Woods” to primordial nothingness in “A Short History
of Nearly Everything,” his writings ponder a wide range
of subjects and are peppered with wry observations and
keen insights. Bryson is also the author of “In a Sunburned
Country,” “Neither Here Nor There,” and “I’m a Stranger
Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After Twenty
Years Away.” Bryson is a longtime resident of England (the
subject of his book “Notes from a Small Island”) and is
Chancellor of Durham University. In conversation with Roy
Eisenhardt for City Arts & Lectures. (Originally scheduled
for broadcast on January 28)
March 18 – Dessa Kirk
Dessa Kirk is a Chicago sculptor known for making largescale lilies and depictions of women from Greek mythology.
Her installations include “Daphne Garden” as part of
Chicago’s Art in the Garden series. One of the themes in her
work is finding the hidden beauty in ugliness, and she often
makes her pieces from scraps of discarded Cadillac cars.
Her sculptures are huge and rugged looking, ranging from
raw to elegant. Shana Ritter is the host. (repeat)

Bowl for Kids Sake

The newest local production from
WTIU will debut this month and
focus on the history and restoration
of the French Lick Springs Hotel.
The program traces the history of
the magnificent hotel—from its days
as a spa and unofficial headquarters
for the National Democratic
Party—to its decline after World
War II—and finally to the multimillion dollar restoration that has
recently been completed along with
a casino, an additional golf course
and full spa features.
Though the hotel itself dates
back to 1845, even before the
charter of the town of French Lick,
French Lick Springs Hotel
it was the end of the 1800s before it
grew to international prominence.
Managed by Thomas Taggart in the early 1900s, the hotel became famous
for its mineral spring Pluto Water and for its championship golf course,
designed by Donald Ross.
Despite its reputation, the hotel was never officially used as a gambling
hall, nor did gangster Al Capone ever stay there. According to legend,
Taggart did not allow alcohol or gambling in his hotel and met Capone on
the hotel steps and turned the gangster away. Gambling and drinking were
however, available across the street and throughout “the valley” at the time.
The program will devote significant time to the hotel’s history along with
the years of work that went into the restoration.
Co-producers Ron Prickel and Gino
Brancolini said viewers may be in awe of the
extreme attention that was paid to detail in the
restoration. “It’s something someone could have
done, restored it, and it wouldn’t have been as
elaborate. But this was done right,” Prickel said.
“It was done because the people involved
wanted it done well,” Brancolini added. “The
goal is to make it the premiere resort area in the
Midwest and maybe the country. They have
exerted a lot of effort to return it to the
grandeur it once had.”
“I think when people watch this program,
they will come away with an appreciation
for what an important recreational area this was in the past and what an
important area it will soon become. It will turn that community around,
there’s no doubt. It’s been fascinating to watch.”

Haunted by a young visitor in his dreams,
a struggling rabbi attempts to suppress the
guilt of his past hypocrisies and transgressions until the past shows up on his doorstep and threatens to destroy ties with his
wife and son. This play by Sarah Treem
won the BPP’s Reva Shiner Award. It is an
unflinching glimpse into a family on the
verge of mental and spiritual breakdown.

spending more than ever on programs that
minimize the effects of poverty.

Music from the Medieval, Renaissance, and

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.
T o 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@

world’s longest running civil war. The
regime engages in horrific human rights
abuses, causing Burmese and ethnic refugees to flood western Thailand. Throughout it all, the Karen people dream of creating their mythical, peaceful place of origin:
Kawthoolei or “a land without evil.”
This Outer Voices documentary travels
to the Thailand-Burma border on the edge
of the war zone to speak to the women
leaders of the Karen refugees. Throughout
the decades of war and repression these
women leaders have been the cornerstones
of stabilization for their communities,
and the visionaries of a peaceful future.
Why did they leave Burma? How did they
manage life in the camps for their families
and their communities? And what do they
imagine for the Karen in diaspora, and for
those who will refuse to be resettled?

The world has come to know of the
aspirations of the Karen through pro-democracy leader and Nobel Prize winner
Aung San Suu Kyi, but just as eloquent are
the voices of women who have organized
illegally to advance their people’s survival
and create a peaceful homeland. The
Karen Women’s Organization has trained
refugees living in camps on the Thai border to become literate, to gain life skills,
and more importantly to receive medical
care.
Set in the refugee camps, medical clinics, and rebel military bases, the program
demystifies the complicated history of
Burma’s ethnic groups, while focusing on
Karen women activists working for nonviolent solutions. It features interviews
with Nobel nominees Zipporah Sein and
Dr. Cynthia Maung, as well as several
other women activists, observers, humanitarian workers, and refugees.
