À propos de cet audio
All great artists take inspiration from their predecessors. Whether that is in visual arts, literature, or music, by studying the techniques of great figures of the past, one can gain knowledge that may be essential to their own work. Today's guest, Dr. James Noyes, is no exception.
As a lifelong researcher of Claude Debussy's works as well as a composer, Dr. Noyes has gained a comprehensive picture of the French composer's techniques and philosophy. He's been able to apply what he's learned to amplify his own compositions. Today, we dive into Dr. Noyes' fascinating research, especially his work on Debussy's Rhapsodie for saxophone and orchestra and saxophonist Elise Hall. We then discover Debussy's shocking connection to famous writer Edgar Allan Poe, and how their philosophies played a role in two of Dr. Noyes' newest songs, "Embracing Love" and "This Christmastime". Finally, we listen to these two songs in their entirety, armed with the knowledge of Poe and Debussy!
