Episode 618, Poetry in Music

Roses are red, notes can be blue, can poetry inspire wind composers, too?  On this episode of Wind & Rhythm we listen to music tied to poems with works by Eric Whitacre, David Gillingham, and Vincent Persichetti, and more, right here at the gathering place for people who love band music.
