August 22nd 1862 Claude Debussy born
The 150th anniversary of Debussy’s birth suggested some of the music on this evening’s Planet Waves. He was impressed by the music of Java and I’ve got a little Javanese pop from the 1980s. His flute piece Syrinx was named after the pipes o f Pan and I’ve got panpipe music from Bolivia, Texas, the Solomon Islands and Romania.
Planet Waves is on 1530 kHz medium wave around Glasgow and at www.celticmusicradio.net around the world. The show’s at 1900 hrs on Tuesday with repeats at 1 in the morning and noon on Wednesday – or listen anytime for a month at http://podcast.canstream.co.uk/celticmusic/index.php?cat=Planet+Waves
