INTRO: You know, I've never seen a good explanation for it
but there's something about the intangibility of electronic
sounds that naturally link them to images of space.

From early PINK FLOYD, to classic German spacemusic,
to the Ambient sound sculptors of today, space...is the
place you wind up.

Of course, acoustic instruments can make space and
ambient music, but it takes the right sound environment
and a lot of extra work; electronic sounds seem to originate
in space, and provide the perfect sonic vehicle for traveling
through it.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we're going to
do just that, on an electronic spacemusic journey called
GALACTIC TRAVELER.

PGM 828 : "DEEP WORLD"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a contemplative journey in the polycultural soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 2-01-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: We live in a time of extreme contrasts: while one part
of the world enjoys unlimited material comfort, another suffers
strife, hunger and disease. High tech magic is just a border away
from descendents of stone-age tribes. Ancient conflicts divide
neighbors, while a global economy links nations half a world apart.

Propelled by these contrasts, today music floats freely around
the globe, cross-pollinating and gene-splicing the sounds of
cultures from primitive to sophisticated.

In the midst of this astonishing diversity sits a new breed of
composer: conscious of tradition but not limited by it,
transmitting the deep soul messages of their culture across
time and space with a new freedom of creative expression.

Classical cellist Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble, for example,
draws musicians from an array of Asian and Middle Eastern
cultures into fluid collaborations with the orchestra, while
solo artists from many countries invent new contexts for
the ancient instruments of their homelands.

PGM NOTE : a deep, deep space journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 1-25-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: This week we continue our retrospective series "25 YEARS
IN SPACE," celebrating our 25th year of national broadcasting.
We've selected 25 programs that give an overview of the HEARTS of
SPACE series and our style of ambient, space and contemplative
music. We kick off the series with three shows this month, then
one a month after that.

On this program from 1985, a real deep space journey called
BEYOND THE STARGATES. Attention: Spacefans, prepare yourself
for some serious traveling. We set the scene with this rare
invocation by Japanese spacemusic composer STOMU YAMASHTA.
The journey begins with BRIAN ENO's mythic "PROPHECY THEME"
and additional music from the soundtrack of the film DUNE. Then,
we journey onward with the eerie sounds of an aeolian WIND HARP,
and continue with MICHAEL STEARNS' mysterious and powerful music from LYRA: SOUND CONSTELLATION. In the deep spacefields beyond, we drift through distant galaxies with music by TIMOTHY WILLIAM HELLEM and BRIAN ENO. We return from our journeys with spacemusic from Germany by the group CLUSTER, once again with BRIAN ENO.

A journey BEYOND THE STARGATES...on this 25th Anniversary edition of Hearts of Space.

INTRO: This week we continue our retrospective series "25 YEARS
IN SPACE," celebrating our 25th year of national broadcasting.
We've selected 25 programs that give an overview of the HEARTS of
SPACE series and our style of ambient, space and contemplative
music. We kick off the series with three shows this month, then
one a month after that.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a 1984 program called
SEA AND SKY — a tribute to two of the most inspiring environments
on earth, and theme for countless artistic expressions throughout
the ages. SEA AND SKY is also the title of the major work on the
program, one of the first successful integrations of synthesizers
and symphony orchestra...by Japanese composer STOMU YAMASHTA.
A fearless experimenter, YAMASHTA has had a unique and varied
international career as a percussionist and composer of popular
electronic music and scores for film and theater.
We'll also hear images of the sea and sky of ANTARCTICA from a
film soundtrack by VANGELIS, and conclude with early atmospheric
electronic music by STEVE ROACH.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 1-11-08
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: 1983...the year before the infamous 1984. It seems lifetimes
ago, but that was the year that a syndicated music program called
HEARTS of SPACE began to appear on public radio stations around
the U.S. And that means that 2008 is the 25th anniversary of the
national program.
To celebrate our 25th year, we've selected 25 programs that
give an overview of the series and the sound we call ambient,
space and contemplative music. We're going to call the series
"25 YEARS IN SPACE." We'll start with three retrospective shows
this month, and then one a month after that.
Beginnings take on more significance over time, so we'll begin
the series with Program Number One, "FIRST FLIGHT." On our
premiere program, we featured music by a group of artists who
became familiar names in the HEARTS of SPACE pantheon of
composers. It's a journey across 25 years of time...and space.

INTRO: Winter...the chill creeps into your bones, while the
darkness steals into your psyche. For most of us, life slows
a bit and moves indoors, but for those hardy souls with the
metabolism to venture out into the landscape, a world of
subtle colors awaits, with deep vistas of heightened clarity,
or atmospheric effects of fog, rain, and snow.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a cold day journey
in blue-grey soundscapes called WINTER LIGHT.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a winter celebration of the harp
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 12-28-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: THE HARP. For over 4000 years, it's brought
the human family a little bit of heaven on earth.

From its beginnings in Mesopotamia, it spread across
the ancient world to Asia, Egypt, Greece, and Africa.
In Medieval times, it was used for sacred and secular
music, and to comfort the dying.

As the instrument of the bards and troubadors,
it played a key role in the evolution of folk music.
In the 19th century, the pedal harp matured into a
concert instrument and took its place in the orchestra.
And in the 20th century it went electric — even laser.

Whether wirestrung, cross-strung, single, double,
or triple strung, pedal or electric, folk or classical —
there are harps for every purpose.

PGM NOTE : winter treasures from the sacred choral repertoire
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 12-21-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The legacy of choral singing is never more cherished
than during the holiday season, when it brings warmth and light
to the winter darkness by opening the heart and feeding the soul.
From the Christian churches and cathedrals of Europe and the U.S.,
to the Orthodox churches of Russia, central Asia, and the Holy Land,
the human family gathers to listen, sing, and worship together.

After more than ten centuries of evolution, some of the finest
choral music was written in the last 100 years by a special breed
of contemporary composers, who respect and extend the tradition.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, another compilation
of sublime choral pieces from our longtime guest producer
ELLEN HOLMES called TO THEE WE SING.

PGM 825 : "HYMNOS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : contemplative hymns and prayers for the holiday season
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 12-14-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The Greek word hymnos means a "song of praise,"
prayer or adoration, normally to a god or religious figure.
The roots of the word go back to the Hittites over six thousand
years ago and mean "to sing." There were hymns in ancient
Egypt and India; in the west, the Homeric hymns, praising
the gods of Greek mythology, date from the 7th century B.C.

Praise is affirmative, so hymns are naturally positive experi-
ences. Whether stirring and intense, or quiet and contemplative,
the effect is to lift the spirit. It's a feeling that's abundant
during the end of the year holiday season, a time when —
against all odds —the human family renews its commitment
to generosity, goodwill and peace.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a selection of
quietly joyous hymns and instrumental prayers called HYMNOS.

PGM 824 : "VOICES IN THE NIGHT"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : heavenly harmonies and angelic voices
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 12-07-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Each year in December, we gather to sing sacred hymns
and songs. For over a millennium, the holiday season in Christian
cultures has been associated with the sublime, ethereal high voices
of female sopranos, male sopranos or countertenors, and boys choirs.

In the massed voices, we hear an image of unity and peace;
in the heavenly harmonies, we hear the sound of angels,
magically brought to earth.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, a holiday celebration
of choral singing called VOICES IN THE NIGHT.

PGM 823 : "POINTS OF LIGHT"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : a turn-of-winter ambient journey
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-30-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The life of a political slogan is rarely glorious and
always brief. Bush the Elder had a memorable one in 1988
which lingered past its natural lifespan as a weapon of satire:
"a thousand points of light."

Despite the history, it's a lovely image that comes alive as
we enter the holiday season and light becomes a symbol of
joy and generosity of spirit. On this transmission of Hearts
of Space, we sound the season with a turn-of-winter journey
called POINTS OF LIGHT.

PGM NOTE : a holiday journey in the Celtic Soundscape
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-23-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: What could be simpler? A guitar, a violin, a flute —
yet in the hands of the veteran Celtic tunesmiths of NIGHTNOISE,
the combination acquires a timeless dignity and emotional resonance.
Built over centuries of life hard-lived and keenly-felt, Celtic music
brings a proud legacy, and a determination to reach out to each
generation of listeners anew.

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE called ISLE OF DREAMING,
a journey across the Celtic soundscape in search of the old, the new,
and the reborn.

PGM 822 : "RESTRAINT"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : subtle, lyrical Nordic spacejazz
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-16-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: If there's one quality that applies to every variety
of jazz, it's great musicianship. These cats can *really* play,
and sometimes they get so into it that virtuosity becomes
the subject of the music.

But there's another tradition in jazz, famously exemplified
by MILES DAVIS' classic KIND OF BLUE. Lyrical. Quiet.
Subtle. Spacious. It's not about how many notes you play:
it's about how beautifully you play them. As one musician
says, it's about "loving every note."

On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we explore a
quietly intense world of melody, space and feeling, on a
Nordic spacejazz journey called RESTRAINT.

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-09-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: Composer HAROLD BUDD really started something
back in 1980 when he released THE PLATEAUX OF MIRROR,
the second album in BRIAN ENO's seminal Ambient Music series.

The chiming tones of Budd's floating electric piano, combined
with Eno's studio atmospheres, created what have been called
"enchanted landscapes and underwater domains."

It's a sound that's still influential and popular today:
accessible and enjoyable...while it quietly insinuates itself
into the deepest reaches of your psyche.

PGM 820 : "SPECTRAL VOICES"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
PGM NOTE : the floating world of harmonic overtone singing
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
FEED DATE : 11-02-07
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

INTRO: The panorama of musical vocalization stretches across
cultural time and space, from simple songs and chants to the
most elaborate art music for chorus and orchestra. It's a medium
that continues to evolve, incorporating the past while it forges
into the future.

The origins of the Central Asian tradition of harmonic chanting
or "overtone" singing are lost in time, but are alive today, both
in source cultures like Tuva and Tibet, and in the work of
experimental singers and composers.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey into the
ghostly, floating world of harmonic singing.
