Why You Need Carl Ruggles in Your Life

Carl Ruggles (1876-1971) lived to the age of 95, but published only 8 works in his lifetime — less than an hour of music. In this podcast, I present an overview of this enigmatic composer, as well as an analysis of Lilacs, the central movement of Men and Mountains, for orchestra (1924). This episode begins with a recording of Lilacs by Michael Tilson Thomas, conducting the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.
