   INTRO: The word nostalgia originated in the 17th century as a
   medical term for an illness caused by an intense desire to return
   to one's native land. In time, it came to describe any strong
   emotion driven by memory and desire for something in the imagined
   past. "Nostalgia" writes LINDA HUTCHEON, "exiles us from the
   present as it brings the imagined past near."
      Nostalgia can be joyful, but more often it's marked by subdued
   melancholy and longing — of losing oneself in a world of memory
   and idealized projection. It has become a psychological condition,
   an antidote to ironic detachment — incurable, because time moves
   inexorably forward. In the modern world, the mythic journey, with
   its themes of departure, farewell, exile, wandering, trial, and
   return...evokes a powerful nostalgia, while the nostalgia for
   simplicity, certainty and security...takes on a special appeal.
      On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we explore the
   emotional landscape of autumn with music for cello, piano,
   orchestra and voices.
