Classical Excursions

Classical radio programs often focus on well-known light classics and ignore challenging and imaginative masterworks, especially from the rich repertoire of 20th century music, which is very diverse. This results in listeners who are unaware of many wonderful works. Excursions will present short and longer works by famous as well as less known composers, with insightful commentary by a composer with years of experience in radio, classical marketing, and music education.

Live on the first, third and occasional fifth Friday of the month.

Live Friday 11am-1pm

Replays Sunday 9-11am

DJ(s):

Greg LaTraille

Crows and songs, on Audio Ecotone, Sept. 12, 2025

Fri, 09/12/2025 - 4:10pm | Eddy Owt

Eddy Owt allowed me (Pieter Pastoor) to fill in for him this week. I had to pick a theme, so a show was born about crows in song. Enjoy the journey in the spirit world of crows.

Crows in Song

Omens & death

Crows are often associated with death, darkness, or foreboding.

Wisdom & mystery

In many Native American, Celtic, and Norse myths (and retellings in literature), crows are seen as wise, shape-shifting messengers between worlds.

Transformation & the uncanny

Crows often appear in magical realism or gothic writing as liminal creatures — half in the human world, half in the supernatural.

Ted Hughes’ poetry collection Crow (1970) reimagines the crow as a trickster, creation figure, and survivor.
