The Sinking of the Titanic
Tonight we listen to a performance of Gavin Bryars "The Sinking of the Titanic." Inspired by the story that the band on the Titanic continued to perform as the ship sank, it recreates how the music performed by the band would reverberate through the water some time after they ceased performing. Composed between 1969 and 1972, the work is now considered one of the classics of British experimental music.
We will be listening to the 2005 performance of the work, done by Bryars, Alter Ego and Philip Jeck.
This peice is 72 1/2 minutes long. The remainder of the show will feature other contemporary music compositions that have the theme of the ocean or sea. Hosted by Rolf.
