Billy Larkin, live on Listening Lyrics, Sept. 27, 2024

Fri, 09/27/2024 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

NOTE: Between minute 13:10 and 15:30 in this broadcast we had some technical difficulties

Billy Larkin joined me in the studio this week to discuss the power of music. He chose these songs to talk about, and we played snippets from most:

  • 'Imagine'  (John Lennon) Possibly one of the most important songs ever written. Full stop.
  • 'Adagio for Strings'  (Samuel Barber) Humanity's guidebook to empathy.
  • Beethoven's 7th Symphony [2nd movement] See above and add hope and perseverance.
  • 'That's the Way of the World' (Earth, Wind & Fire)  When I realized I was happy to be alive.
  • 'Music for 18 Musicians'  (Steve Reich) Wonder at the possibility of creation. 
  • 'Blackbird'  (Lennon/McCartney) Love=Beauty=Sadness=Joy=Art

From his website: "Billy Larkin is an award-winning pianist/composer who has been bringing his individual brand of musical artistry to audiences for over 40 years. He is a composer and arranger who defies easy categorization and helps define true expression through the collaborative process."
