Harmonia
with Angela Mariani
Lamentations: Tisha b'Av to Tenebrae - Sometimes we need a good cry. Music can provide a space for mourning and lament for both personal sadness and religious observation. This week on Harmonia, we'll be exploring musical settings of the Book of Lamentations. We'll hear uses of this text in traditions from Tisha b'Av to Tenebrae.

Sunday Baroque
The scope of George Frideric Handel's oratorio ISRAEL IN EGYPT is the Passover story. Handel premiered it in three sections: The Lamentation of the Israelites for the Death of Joseph, Exodus and Moses' Song. When it premiered in 1739, it was criticized for being "too solemn for common ears." But over time, it has come to be regarded as one of Handel's triumphs. You'll hear selections from Israel in Egypt on Sunday Baroque this week.

Sunday at the Symphony
with the Cleveland Orchestra
With its rich, sweeping melodies and dynamic brass chorales, Sibelius's Second Symphony vividly evokes the beauty of his native Finland. Icy Nordic landscapes are also heard in Rautavaara's Cantus Arcticus, a haunting "concerto for birds and orchestra" that weaves recordings of birdsong into the orchestral tapestry. Julia Perry's setting of the 13th-century Stabat Mater hymn adds a powerful complement to this program that highlights two rising stars: conductor Dalia Stasevska and mezzo-soprano Josefina Maldonado.
