The Summer Schedule (through August) for Daily Doug Live
Hey y'all...
So, the summer (in the northern hemisphere) is now upon us. And, I know many of us (including me and Megan) will be traveling and in/out of our weekly schedule. To that end, here's the dates that we're planning for our Saturday live hangouts for the next several weeks...
Pines of Rome (Respighi) - Behind the Score (Episode 19)
In this episode, we're diving into one of my favorite orchestral works. Ottorino Respighi's 1924 masterpiece remains as fresh and vibrant as ever. Join me as we dissect some of the themes and orchestration techniques in this landmark piece.

For our next Extended Play Lounge, I'm interested in returning to the music of Rush. We've only done one Rush EPL, and it was episode 2. Now that we're at episode 20 (and 3 Rush albums currently have 3 of the top 7 votes for future EPLs), I think the time is right.
So, vote for the Rush alb...

Join me for a trip down the Fripp rabbit hole as we dive into Discipline from King Crimson. This is one of the more dense scores I've seen in quite some time. It's mathematical treatment of meter is astounding. And, the sheer 'discipline' to perform this is off the charts.

Buckle in, y'all...this is a long one! But, it's one of my favorite EPL experiences. I really enjoyed listening to this 2-disc concept album. The NMB has been strong in the polls recently, and now I can see why! I hope you enjoy!

Knots by Gentle Giant is one of the more unique and memorable tunes I've looked at recently. With its ties to psychology and the complicated "knots" we weave for ourselves, we dive into some of the ways these ideas manifest themselves in the music. I hope you enjoy!

For episode 16, we're going south of the equator to take a look at a gem of a short orchestral work from Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. It has a great deal of character and is a great example of using orchestrational voicings to achieve a desired sound effect.
