Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin

Songs of Parting

Adiós, adieu, sayonara, vale, zàijiàn — no turning back this week as Bill explores musical farewells. He features works ranging from Purcell’s "Sonata for Trumpet" to Bach’s “Capriccio,” a heartfelt goodbye to his eldest brother. Prokofiev’s ballet "Romeo and Juliet" includes a moving farewell from Romeo, where the mandolin cleverly sets the scene in Italy, and the saxophone expresses Romeo’s poignant departure. Kathleen Ferrier sings a Northumbrian folk song, “Blow the Wind Southerly,” and Ray Charles doesn’t mince words in his shout to “Hit the Road Jack!” that includes a snarling vocal by Margie Hendricks of the Raelettes, and yes, more saxophone.
