Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin
Martha Graham and Her Music
Martha Graham's choreography was born out of a close relationship to fresh-off-the-page music: she commissioned ballets from American composers Samuel Barber, Aaron Copland, and Louis Horst — whose music would be all but forgotten if it were not for archival films of her early dances. Graham changed the way we think about dance, as much as Igor Stravinsky did with music and Pablo Picasso with his paintings and sculpture.

Best of Studs Terkel
Muhammad Ali (11/26/1975)
Studs Terkel used his portable tape recorder to capture an interview with one of the best-known and most indelible figures of the 20th century: boxing great and activist Muhammad Ali. Their conversation covers Ali’s athletic artistry, his vibrant perspective on life, and his dynamic commitment to the American civil rights movement. Ali also discusses his childhood and family, conversion to Islam, stance on the Vietnam War, and experiences in jail – all of which he describes in his 1975 autobiography, "The Greatest: My Own Story."
