On this week's edition of Sunday on Blue Lake, host Foley Schuler will feature, in the show's final hour, two intriguing works directly inspired by dreams. These will include one of the best known works of the acclaimed contemporary composer, David Maslanka (whose birthday happens to be Sunday), A Child’s Garden of Dreams, based on the dreams of a young girl dreams presented and analyzed by Carl Jung in his book Man and his Symbols–as well as chamber music of Igor Stravinsky based on a dream he had had in which he found himself in a room surrounded by 8 instrumentalists playing what he described as “highly attractive music”–his Octet for Winds. That will be preceded by Gustav Mahler's epic celebration of the wonders, beauties and mysteries of nature, his Symphony No, 3, whose originally working title, was, incidentally, "A Midsummer Day's Dream." That and more–this week on Sunday on Blue Lake.
You can hear Sunday on Blue Lake with Foley Schuler every Sunday afternoon from 1 until 4 pm on Blue Lake Public Radio.
