Welcome to Anthem 2 in my attempt to write a new choir anthem every week for a year. I assumed (there's my first mistake) that as it was Epiphany this week, the story of the three wise men visiting the stable would be an easy catalyst for a carol, in the same vein as the multiple Advent and Christmas carols I had produced before the turn of the year. I was wrong. I now realise, looking back over the week, that I was completely exhausted from the return to work and all the other things going on. This is an important lesson for me in creative terms - it's almost impossible to compose worthwhile music when your brain is tired. Another lesson was to abandon something which isn't working sooner. After several false starts I ended up setting How Lovely Shines the Morning Light. Words for Anthem 2: How lovely shines the Morning Star! The nations see and hail afar the light in Judah shining. O David's son of Jacob's race, my Bridegroom and my King of grace, for you my heart is pining. Lowly, holy, great and glorious, O victorious Prince of graces, filling all the heav'nly places. Well, what do you think? Let me know on X.com @realanthem52, as a comment below or via email show@anthem52.com I'd like to thank my daughter, Charlotte, who has been doing some fantastic work for me as part of her college work experience. She has done some quick and detailed research and critiqued the Anthem 52 website amongst other tasks. Well done to her. Also, well done and congratulations to Paul Walton and Tim Popple whose kickstarter appeal to launch Descants are for life, not just for Christmas is now fully funded - it's clearly a collection people are very interested in. Finally, thank you to everyone who has been in contact this week in any way, including Jamie McQuinn, Bob Keeley and Greg Clinton who commented in various ways.  I hope you will join me next week for a new episode - and a new anthem - only 50 to go - but until then the question remains - will I make it to Anthem 52?

Empty grocery store shelves has become a familiar sight in many American cities and towns in 2022. Modern Americans have never experienced food shortages. It's not happening only in the USA. Food shortages are appearing in many countries. The Biden Administration wants people to believe that Vladimir Putin is responsible for the food shortages. They also want to blame him for inflation. Why are there so many shortages of food products in 2022? Even baby formulas and cat food are in short supply in many places. Is the Russia-Ukraine war really the cause of these sudden shortages or is there a more sinister force at work? Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart. Airdate 4/21/22.

Today's question was sent by John; and he asks how to create alternate harmonizations and descants for the last verse of the hymn. Basically, this is the question: how to reharmonize any type of melody. http://www.organduo.lt

Christopher and Drew are joined by returning guest Alexandra Kleeman. They all drink a cocktail named after a character who moonlights in both her short story collection "Intimations" and, maybe, within Robert Coover's "Pricksongs and Descants." They discuss being a person-person, talk fiction-fiction, and why puzzle-stories are sometimes best left unrevisited.

The reissue of his early novels as Penguin Classics in 2011 underlines his status as a giant of American literary postmodernism. Stories like Spanking the Maid, Gerald's Party and Pricksongs and Descants show that a mordant – and morbid – humour are part of his genius.

Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies: Penguin Modern Classics author Robert Coover (Pricksongs & Descants [1969], Ghost Town [1998], NOIR [2010]) will speak about metafiction, electronic literature and the future of writing.

Stories like Spanking the Maid, Gerald's Party and Pricksongs and Descants show that a mordant – and morbid – humour are part of his genius. One former student described Coover as 'the most generous, rabidly intelligent, accessible, erudite and hilarious teacher I have ever met.' Another said 'Coover is flame retardant'.
