In James Joyce's novel Ulysses used the fonts of its major characters keep shifting from the sights and sounds they encounter in and around Dublin to their private nonstop interior monologues 'd this narrative technique came to be called stream of consciousness writing. In music something similar occurred on today's date in 1968 when the Italian composer Luciano Barrios conducted the Swingle Singers and the New York Philharmonic in the Premier performance of his new work untitled Sinfonia. Sinfonia including music quotes from Bach to Mahler intermingled with song and spoken texts ranging from Claude Levy Strauss to Samuel Beckett There's even a bit of Joyce's Ulysses tossed in as well alongside slogans from the student protests of 1968 the text of Sinfonia 2nd movement was a tribute to the recently assassinated civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King Jr and consisted of nothing but the intoned syllables of his name. Sinfonia was Barrios stream of consciousness interior monologue on the year in 1968 made public with great theatrical flair and dizzying mix of poignant music and political text Dario was quoted as saying the juxtaposition of contrast in elements in fact is part of the whole point. Somewhat to everyone's surprise Sinfonia turned out to be ahead in Columbia Records even released a recording of the work with its premiere performers.

Dollars a year that's $0.32 a day here's a suggestion what if you were to make your donation today however you do that as a sustaining member which we encourage or. Wanted a. Once a year gift and then starting tomorrow you get a big jar and you put $0.32 a day in it.

Drive after drive add some additional to that time user doing double and sometimes triple duty the truth is only about why. One out of 10 of our listeners contributes to the station so if you're listening to be that one beat out one let's try to get it to 2 because what it means is 90 percent of the people who listen to this station do not support it. I think the lesson there is obvious and we don't need to get too heavy about that but we would like you if you're a fairly regular listener to to consider what what n.s.p. Are an n.p.r. Mean to you in your day and you know consider making that $5.00 a month pledge at $0.16 a day. $0.16 a day so be one of the callers who calls in right now we need 5 callers to complete this challenge or this match and let's get 2 of those callers in before the next break so do yourself a favor call 802345246 that's right or go to my n.s.p.
