Ode to Gravity: Interview with Ned Rorem (1987)
Ned Rorem reflects on his work and being an American composer in this
re-broadcast of an Ode to Gravity program from November 16, 1987.
Interviewers Charles Amirkhanian and Charlotte Observer critic and singer
Fleur Paysour refer to Rorem's writings in The Nantucket Diary and The
Paris Diary to discuss various topics, from setting poems and the decline
of the art song to gender and race politics in music. Rorem gives his
opinion of a number of 20th century poets and composers, and registers his
distaste for "specialization" in American composition. He also shares
anecdotes about his creative process.
