There's a reason that great works in classical music have stuck around for so long. Once upon a time, it was all music composed by  groundbreaking artists, churning out new sounds and ideas never heard before. But at some point, it's like someone somewhere decided that the canon was complete. Why? In this episode, National Orchestral Institute director Richard Scerbo and recent GRAMMY nominee/past winner David Alan Miller (Albany Symphony Music Director) talk about the groundbreaking composers of the past and present.   Music in this episode:     Special thanks to Todd Reynolds for his music, Taskforce: Farmlab from Outerbourough. 

This is serious, people. Classical music has a long and meaningful history in cartoons that is no laughing matter. Just kidding! There is a really long history, but it is hilarious, and so is this episode. Richard Scerbo, Director of the National Orchestral Institute and Festival and founder and artistic director of the DC-based and Grammy-nominated Inscape Chamber Orchestra, takes us on a tour of that history. Find out the practical, social, and financial reasons behind Looney Tunes use of classical music, and how cartoons both poked fun at the music and made it fresh for new audiences. Hear examples of the classical music the cartoons draw from and examples of how the music was rearranged to suit the needs of Porky and Bugs. And, um, that’s not all, folks.

Coyote and the Road Runner) Hungarian Rhapsody No2 by Franz List “Rhapsody in Rivets” (Warner Bros. cartoon) “A Corny Concerto” (Warner Bros. cartoon narrated by Elmer Fudd) The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss II Tales from the Vienna Woods by Johann Strauss II “Ride of the Valkeries” from Die Walküre by Richard Wagner “Kill the Wabbit” from What’s Opera, Doc? (Warner Bros. cartoon featuring Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny) Audio production by Mark “The Martian” DiClaudio and Todd “Tweety” Hulslander with onomatopoeia by Dacia Clay.  

Welcome to the National Orchestral Institute and Festival’s podcast series. Throughout this year’s edition of NOI we will be sitting down with visiting artists, administrators, composers, and participants in the festival for brief question and answer sessions to get their take on the state of music in 2016. Today I sat down with Richard Scerbo, the director of NOI+F. After four weeks of work, he took the chance to reflect on what this year's festival has been, what he hopes to see in the future, and how his work outside of NOI impacts his time at the festival.
