This is the second part of an episode begun last week featuring the cream of the crop of today's young artists. As with the performers heard last week, they represent the finest opera and classical singers working today; it is my distinct pleasure (and honor) to present them to you. They include sopranos Francesca Pia Vitale and Ewa Płonka; mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor; countertenors John Holiday, Key'mon Murrah, and Reginald Mobley (pictured); tenors Laurence Kilsby and Zachary Wilder; baritones Artur Ruciński and Theo Hoffman; and bass-baritones Philippe Sly, Joseph Parrish, and Georg Zeppenfeld in repertoire ranging from Monteverdi and Vivaldi to Rebecca Clarke, Hall Johnson, and Paul McCartney. It has been my pleasure to hear many of these singers live and I look forward to hearing them all again in person (and as soon as possible!) Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

If a classically-minded academic comes across the name “Hall Johnson”, they’ll likely think of one figure and one figure only: the highly-renowned composer, arranger, and choir conductor of African-American spirituals. And although we are rapidly approaching Black History Month, contemporary scholars of the local scene have probably already pieced together who we’re really talking about…indie-rock […]
As broadcast October 18, 2022 with Al Green driving the ladies mad once again! Tonight we start with the so-called "Grits Incident," when a woman dangerously obsessed with soul singer Al Green poured boiling grits over his head and then committed suicide in the next room with The Reverend's own gun. This is one tale in a long and weird line of Al Green driving women so wild they actually ended up severely injuring the object of their affection. Since it is Tuesday we have tons of new indie and underground music to get through with Kat Bass, as it has been a busy weekend of new tunes just out. Highlights this week come from Men I Trust, ALASKALASKA, girl in red, Barrie, and many beyond just that.#feelthegravityTracklist (st:rt)Part I (00:00)Al Green – You Ought To Be With MeBlossom Club – MotiveGLOSSER – Disco GirlsJohn Moods – Such a ThrillHuman Barbie – emptyDress Warm – Take a Hint Part II (33:25)girl in red - October Passed Me By Zachary Knowles - SOMEWHERE IN TEXAS Fazerdaze - Winter Tomper - Cruise Control Barrie - Unholy Appetite Morabeza Tobacco - Teacher's In The Mood Part III (60:32)Men I Trust - Girl Indigo Sparke - Golden Ribbons Say Sue Me - A.M. 180 Elephant Motel - Time Fly By Tahiti 80 - Cameo SALES - July Part IV (90:35)Sunbeam Sound Machine - Two Summers Layten Kramer - Employment Clear Coast - All I Ever Was Jean Dawson - PIRATE RADIO* ALASKALASKA - Glass ALASKALASKA – Still Life

To round off #BlackHistoryMonth2021, I bring you an array of artists singing a wide range of 20th Century repertoire. Included are singers who have previously been featured in full episodes (including Lawrence Winters, Gloria Davy, Charles Holland, and Carol Brice), legendary favorites (including Leontyne Price, Martina Arroyo, Roberta Alexander, and Barbara Hendricks), important concert singers (including Adele Addison and Betty Allen), lesser-known artists (including Helen Thipgen, Martha Flowers, William Pearson, Mareda Gaither, and Olive Moorefield), and iconic singers (including Jessye Norman, Kathleen Battle, and Christiane Eda-Pierre) for whom important new work was created by Judith Weir, André Previn, and Charles Chaynes. The range of composers represented is equally vast and includes Leonard Bernstein, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Virgil Thomson, Michael Tippett, Lee Hoiby, Shulamit Ran, Gian Carlo Menotti, Judith Weir, Paul Bowles, Lukas Foss, and David Del Tredici. with special attention given to African American composers Margaret Bonds, Howard Swanson, William Grant Still, Hall Johnson, and Robert Nathaniel Dett. In other words: something for everyone and just a foretaste of future Countermelody programs that will continue to celebrate the contributions of African American singers.

The third and final look at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater with Michael McBride, a 10-year veteran with the company.

Samantha Figgins is currently in her sixth season with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. But what many people don't know is that this gorgeous dancer suffers from single-sided deafness. As a baby, Figgins contracted spinal meningitis, which caused her to lose all hearing in her right ear. She never gave up on her dance dreams, though, and fought her way through uncomfortable situations, never missing an opportunity to learn and grow. In this episode, she shares her love of dance, her passion in telling stories, and the discipline that makes it all possible. Listen to the previous episode all about Alvin Ailey.
