Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Wallace Stegner called America’s
national parks our “best idea”—an idea as uniquely American as the
Declaration of Independence, and just as radical: that the most special
places of our nation should be preserved not for royalty or the rich,
but for everyone.
Yet the story of how these special places became preserved as
parks, the role of individual citizens in creating them, and the powerful
stories of our emotional connection to them have remained relatively
unknown…until now.
This month, WGBH is proud to present Ken Burns’s six-part documentary series The National Parks: America’s Best Idea (see page 18)
with the most stunning
cinematography in his awardwinning career. This is mustsee TV, and we’re offering
you multiple opportunities to
experience it: on television,
on demand, and on the Web.
And to keep the conversation
going, we’ve put together a
roster of related programs: from Wallace Stegner to Yellowstone: Land to
Life (see pages 14 and 18).
Ken is a longtime friend and supporter of WGBH. On Thursday,
September 10 he and co-producer Dayton Duncan will be in Boston for
a special preview. I hope you can join us at the Museum of Science for
a WGBH co-sponsored, ticketed public event (see page 2) featuring Ken
and Dayton that will include a breathtaking preview in the museum’s
Mugar Omni Theater.
And speaking of breathtaking, I hope you like the cover of this
month’s Members’ Guide featuring Grand Tetons National Park: you
picked it. Hundreds of WGBH members took the time to cast their votes
online and share their thoughts, including Jim Winter of Malden Farms,
who wrote, “The Grand Tetons are what I think of first when our national treasures are mentioned—the majestic master of the Great
American West! Thanks for the ‘photo op’!”
Thank you, Jim…and all our members.
It’s your generous support that makes it
possible for WGBH to bring you eye-opening,
horizon-expanding documentaries like Ken
Burns’s latest masterpiece.

From Hollywood’s
Blacklist to Hit List
With credits for Kitty Foyle and Thirty
Seconds Over Tokyo to his name—
and the anti-war novel Johnny Got His
Gun—the young Dalton Trumbo
was one of Hollywood’s highest-paid
writers. Refusing to testify before the
House Un-American Activities
Committee (HUAC) in 1947, he was
part of the Hollywood Ten; convicted
for contempt, he spent 11 months in
federal prison and lost all rights to ply his craft. Trumbo wrote 30
scripts under pseudonyms, winning an Oscar in 1956 for The Brave One,
but was not recognized again publicly until 1960. In 1993, Trumbo was
awarded a posthumous Academy Award for Roman Holiday (1953).

The Conscience of the
Conservation Movement
This biographical film portrait of acclaimed writer, conservationist and
teacher Wallace Stegner celebrates the 2009 centennial of his birth.
Stegner, who became one of America’s most notable writers with
books like the Pulitzer Prize-winning Angle of Repose and Beyond the
Hundredth Meridian, mentored a generation’s great writers, including
Ken Kesey, Edward Abbey and Larry McMurtry.
Stegner’s The Wilderness Letter became the
conscience of the conservation movement. This
one-hour documentary paints a portrait of the
West that Stegner so loved and reveals insights
into his life through interviews with his famous
students, contemporaries and family. Peter
Coyote narrates.

The most thoroughly handcrafted instruments in the
world, Steinway pianos are as

as the world-class musicians
who play them. But, their
makers are a dying breed:
skilled cabinet-makers, gifted
tuners, handcrafters. Note by
Note follows the creation of a Steinway concert grand, #L1037,
from forest floor to concert hall, in a process spanning 12 months,
12,000 parts, 450 craftsmen and countless hours of fine-tuned labor.
The film also features impromptu performances by a number of worldclass artists—including phenom Lang Lang and contemporary singer
Harry Connick Jr.—as they try out pianos in the Steinway showroom.

The Newshour, Now on PBS and Tavis Smiley collaborate on this

Correspondents and producers from all three shows offer analysis of
the proposed legislation that is supposed to provide universal health care in the US. The program
examines issues critical to success or failure of
the initiative, including the impact on the family
pocketbook, how reform may change the way
we live, and the difference between the current
“sickness” model of care and the proposed
“wellness” model.

Grand Canyon, the Everglades
of Florida to the Gates of the
Arctic in Alaska. This 12.5-hour,
six-part documentary traces
the birth of the national park
idea in the mid-1800s and
follows its evolution for nearly
150 years. Using archival photographs, first-person accounts of
historical characters, personal memories and analysis from more than
40 interviews, the series chronicles the steady addition of new parks
through the stories of the people who helped create them and save
them from destruction. It is simultaneously a biography of compelling
characters and of the American landscape.

The Music That Made You Love Music, on WGBH Radio
What music made you fall in love with music?
That is the question we’re asking our radio hosts,
featured composers and musicians…and you, as
we celebrate Classical Music Month this
September. Throughout the fall, we’ll be sharing
these personal and powerful stories (see box
below).
One answer we’ve already heard is the power
of hearing a live performance, and that’s music
to our ears. Each year, WGBH present hundreds of
live performances, many of them classical—on
location, from concert halls and music festivals
throughout New England and around the world,
and at home at WGBH’s Fraser Performance
Studio, a popular stop for established as well as
up-and-coming musicians. This month, and this
fall, look for live performances by pianist Roberto
Plano, violinist Bayla Keyes, and cellist Narek
Hakhnazaryan.
Alan McLellan, who produces live broadcasts
for Classics in the Morning and Classical
Performances and is host/producer of our Classical
Performance podcast, says live performances are
what set WGBH 89.7 apart.
“Boston’s classical music scene is among the
finest in the world, and WGBH is in a unique
position to celebrate it,” says McLellan.“Musicians
are always thrilled to discover how closely connected our broadcasts are to what is happening in
the community.
Tell Us Your Story
Throughout September and October,
visit wgbh.org/musicunfiltered,
and enter our “Music That Made You Love
Music” contest. When you submit your
story, you’ll be entered to win great
musical prizes, including season tickets to
musical and cultural events around Boston.
In November, WGBH’s radio hosts will feature a selection of your stories and music
on air!
And while you’re online, sign up for
our fun and interactive email bulletins
filled with music, activities, stories, and
downloads designed to give you even more
of the music that made you love music!
“In addition to offering a rich musical
experience that goes beyond what you can get
from a recording, live performances allow our
radio hosts—and, by extension, our listeners—
to engage with musicians and learn how they feel
and what they think about the music they’re
playing,” McLellan notes.
Away from our studios, we bring listeners
concerts from the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
Handel and Haydn Society, and local music
festivals. September’s highlights include a special
presentation of Monteverdi’s final opera
L’incoronazione di Poppea from the 2009 Boston
Early Music Festival, the 10th-anniversary season
premiere of From the Top (recorded in our studios),
and the season opening night of the BSO.
And, in this digital age, we’re also bringing
the music to a local and worldwide audience in a
variety of new ways. Classical live performances,
some of which also include video, are streamed at
wgbh.org/classical. Listeners also can access
WGBH’s classical lineup through our All-Classical
WGBH service, an HD broadcast (89.7 HD) and
online stream that offers classical music fans a
24/7 mix of music, interviews, concerts, live
performances, and more. Fully 40% of our AllClassical WGBH audience are listening from
overseas—10% from Japan alone. Its high-quality
sound is one of the reasons the stream is such a
favorite, says WGBH 89.7 Program Director Jon
Solins, but the music is the main attraction.
“All-Classical WGBH extends our commitment
to sharing classical music—including the best of
what Boston has to offer—with an ever-widening
audience,” says Solins.“We’re proud to say that we
bring the BSO to Tokyo.”
Find out more about how WGBH is celebrating
Classical Music Month at wgbh.org/classical,
and be sure to tell us what musical moment
inspired you!

Their Musical Moments
As part of our “Music That Made You Love Music” contest, we asked a crosssection of WGBH Radio hosts and correspondents to tell us about a piece of
music that made them start falling in love with music. During September,
you’ll hear their stories as well as many others throughout the day on WGBH
89.7. Remember to share your own story with us at wgbh.org!
Cathy Fuller
Classics in the Morning
The music that me fall in love with classical
music was a piece my mother played, “Gaspard
de la Nuit” by Maurice Ravel. I was hearing it
before I was born, because my mother played
the piano with me bulging out over the keyboard. When I was very young, I remember
feeling that “Gaspard de la Nuit” was like magic
seeping out of the doors of the piano room. It’s
an incredibly virtuosic piece in that it makes the piano sound like something
completely different. You can’t hear the hammers, you can’t hear the mechanisms of the piano, and the piece just has this eerie beautiful sparkle.
Brian McCreath
Classical Weekend
One of the first pieces I remember really
falling in love with was “Scheherazade” by
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. I was around 13
years old and I had just begun playing the
trumpet, so I had a few trumpet recordings
around my house. That’s the time I also
began to buy records—I’d get on my bike
and go to this little record store and flip
through the LPs sitting in the bins. I was obsessed with Maynard Ferguson,
because what he did on the trumpet just seemed so outrageous. In the late
’70s Maynard Ferguson recorded “Scheherazade” in his unmistakable style—
really high, really loud, with shakes all over it. Someone named RimskyKorsakov was listed on the album cover, so I went out and found a recording
of the original “Scheherazade.” It was in the cut-out bin for something like
$1.99, and the jacket credited the performance to the USSR Large Radio
Symphony Orchestra. It was just unbelievable, so I listened to it over and
over again, and that really brought me into classical music. I’m not sure if it
was the first piece of classical music that I came to love, but it hooked me,
and showed me what you could do with an orchestra.

Brian O’Donovan
A Celtic Sojourn
The piece of music that made me fall in love with
classical music, but really made me fall in love with
music generally, was The Little Fugue in G minor
by Bach—it’s one of the classic pieces, everyone
knows its tune even if they don’t know its name.
When I heard it in the ’60s on television in Ireland,
I was absolutely transfixed. It seemed to me that
the piece ran away with itself and fed back on itself
in intriguing ways, attracting me into the whorls and complexities that I
really didn’t understand at the time, but in ways I remembered afterward
with a lot of affection. It introduced me to the idea of a fugue—the interplay of notes and the central theme. It was almost giving me access to a
secret code that I found absolutely fascinating.
Steve Schwartz
Jazz from Studio Four
For me, it was “Earth Angel” by the Penguins
when I was 15. This was a West Coast doowop group—only it wasn’t called doo-wop
in those days, it was R&B. I heard the voices
and the harmonies, and the music just
seemed to speak to me.
The first jazz record I heard and had to
buy was by a group called The Mastersounds.
It was 1958, and I was living in LA. The late ’50s in California were the
“cool jazz” days—Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan, Shorty Rogers—and
The Mastersounds were a West Coast version of the Modern Jazz Quartet,
with vibes, piano, bass and drums. When I opened the door to the record
store where I was going to buy the album, the music that was playing
rushed out and almost knocked me over, it was so powerful. I went up to the
counter and said, “What is that?” The guy held up a record jacket and it was
Charles Mingus’s Blues and Roots. I had never heard of Charles Mingus, but
that record was typical Mingus—earth-shattering music. So I left the store
with opposite ends of the rainbow: some incredible New York, high-energy
Mingus and the cool West Coast Mastersounds.
Marco Werman
The World’s Global Hit
I fell in love with jazz with an album that
my parents had lying around by
Cannonball Adderly called Them Dirty
Blues—first, I heard it as blues, and then
as it started to wash over me, I heard jazz,
and improvisation. As I listened more, I
heard a complete command of the music,
and an ability to go wherever they wanted
to take the music. It was so powerful. Up to that point, I think I was only
paying attention to melody. I was 7 or 8 at the time. When I finally had my
own record player, it was the first LP my mom gave me, and I was so
psyched. To this day I still play this album, and I still turn people on to it.
