Last week's program featured Carl Orff's settings of verses from the medieval manuscripts known as the Carmina Burana, in which the 20th-century German composer was able to evoke the spirit of the middle ages in a modern work for orchestra, chorus, and soloists. This week we'll go back to the original tablature of eleventh- through thirteenth-century pieces and some realizations of how this music might have sounded a thousand years ago.
Then we'll take a moment to remember Sonny Marble, WFIT's longtime classical music host who died last month at the age of 92 after what can only be described as a long and full life.
