Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin
Claude Debussy (1862-1918)
Claude Debussy, who once said he learned more from poets and painters than from the music conservatory, is considered the figurehead of Impressionist music (though he would vehemently argue against it). This week, Bill reflects on Debussy's peculiar upbringing, his studies at the Paris Conservatory, and his Prix de Rome win.

Hildegard of Bingen’s "Ordo Virtutum"
Twelfth-century mystic, writer, philosopher, and composer Hildegard von Bingen used all her gifts in the service of her unfaltering Christian faith which she channeled through her music in the morality play "Ordo Virtutum (Order of the Virtues)." We’ll hear this 12th-century masterpiece performed by Seraphic Fire under the direction of Patrick Dupré Quigley.
