Other People's Music

Charles Ives Washington's Birthday 

Brahms Variations on a Theme by Haydn 

Luciano Berio Beatles Songs: Tiffany Ho soprano

Stravinsky Pulcinella Suite  

The oldest kind of music-making:  borrowing. Charles Ives’ crazy quilt of Other People’s Music features familiar folktunes in his evocation of a winter holiday through flawed and fading memories. Soprano Tiffany Ho joins us for 1960’s Avant-Gardist Luciano Berio’s exquisite classical versions of Beatles songs Yesterday Ticket to Ride and Michelle. Brahms’ famous set of Variations on a Theme that he thought was by Haydn is juxtaposed with the lively fun of Stravinsky’s Pulcinella which he thought was based on music by Pergolesi.
