PGM 798 : "TRANSFORMATION"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : sacred music for the Easter season
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-30-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: At the heart of the Christian Easter celebration is the
story of the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Christ.
It is by any measure one of the greatest inspirations of all
time for sacred music, extending from gruesome...to magical...
to supernatural — a journey from the physical to the
metaphysical, from the blood and treachery of earth...
to the eternal dimension of heaven.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, an hour of sacred
music for the Easter season called TRANSFORMATION.

INTRO: When our fearless leaders here on earth are making a
mess of things, the intelligent species look for more congenial
spaces. That's been happening for centuries. But with global
climate changes coming, _this time_ you might have to leave
the planet. Luckily, we have a group of spacemusic composers
with _just_ the fuel you need for the journey.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we return to
the sound of distant planets, wheeling galaxies and infinite
starfields...on a cosmic journey called WORLDS BEYOND.

INTRO: Every spring we look forward to the week before Saint
Patrick's Day. For the Irish, it's a time of cultural celebration;
for us, it's another opportunity to saturate ourselves with the
joyful rhythms, mournful strains and heartfelt melodies of
Celtic music. With a repertoire enriched over the centuries by
some of the finest musicians on earth, Celtic music renews itself
in every generation by connecting us to essential, deeply
human emotions.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, another program from
longtime guest producer ELLEN HOLMES: a journey in the
contemporary Celtic soundscape called THE NEVER ENDING ROAD.

PGM 760R : "UNDERSCORE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : exploring the world of ambient film music
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 3-09-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Here's the thing about soundtrack albums: no matter how
good the music in the film is, you just never know how good the
CD will be.

Some of the best composers and studio musicians in
the world work on these projects. No expense is spared to record
the music and mix it into the film. Then, the soundtrack CD is
thrown together in a few days from dozens of short "cues," padded
with "incidental music" or songs from hot young bands, and rushed
to market in time for the film's opening. As listening experiences
go, they're totally unpredictable. You just never know.

Yet the original function of film music has a lot in common
with ambient and space music — to color the environment, evoke
emotion, and underscore the action on the screen, just like
ambient does to the action in your room.
