Sailing Into Neptune

No.101, aired December 15, 2010.

If Uranus was the “Aviation” this episode brings the “Naval”, the final stop on our interplanetary voyage, landing at last on the seas of Neptune. Ezra Pound’s Canto II was read with the final track from Holst’s The Planets (Canto I was read on December 26, 2008, meaning I will have read all 120 Cantos on air by 2247!) And with the Winter Solstice only a week away we continued with the audiobook of Joseph Conrad’s Heart Of Darkness.

20th Century Zeitgeist 1

Episode 50 begins a new series in which Naval Aviation in Audio will zoom back to key moments in 20th Century music & poetry - moments of change, moments of rupture. This first installment examined the period around 1905, featuring the first of four String Quartets of Arnold Schoenberg, the leading modernist composer for the first half of the century, and Ezra Pound, the lightning rod for the English language avant-garde during that period. And because NAIA is never about sticking to one place or style or period, always restlessly shifting, I also read poems by Anne Szumigalski, the Zeitgeist of Saskchewan & prairie poetry from at least the early 1970s thru to the late 1990s, as well as a selection of more contemporary music.
