Another chance to hear
Margaret Juntwait 's four-part series exploring music in Boston between the end of the American Civil War and the start of the First
World War, a period during which American music gradually broke away from European influences and found a voice of its own.
The father figure of the Boston school was John
Knowles Paine (1839
1906), the first professor of music at Harvard
University, where he taught many of the Boston composers. This programme sets the Boston scene and traces
Paine's career, with excerpts from his
Symphony No 1, the Larghetto and Humoreske for violin, cello and piano and the Mass in D.
