Playlist for the Unpopular Music webcast for December 14, 2019

A variety show for a rainy Saturday, at least here in Somerville. We have a jazzy first set with some overlapping personnel.The second set is the quiet set, which also features the obscure Hungarian instrument the taragato. The second hour begins with a few miniatures, before presenting two twentieth-century classical works dense with musical references. There's also a longish bit of "jazz composition" that I've been meaning to play for a while, before we end with some odd upbeatness and some college nostalgia (for me at least.)


See the playlist after the break...
