Aidan Quinn, Audra McDonald and Tonya Pinkins star in shorts by John Patrick Shanley (Oscar, Pulitzer, Tony winner) and Lynn Nottage (Pulitzer Prize winner, Tony winner). In Shanley's eerie but charming BANSHEE, an Irish sprite offers a teacher an out-of-this-world proposal. In Nottage's funny and powerful POOF! a woman's curse proves cosmically potent.

In Shanley's eerie but charming Banshee, an Irish sprite who can sense the dying offers an ailing teacher an out-of-this-world proposal.

Spoiler: turns out Geraldine Hughes and Aidan Quinn truly believe in banshees.

Compact Discoveries 96: Classically Irish

From Fred Flaxman | Part of the Compact Discoveries series | 58:56

Irish folk tunes turned into orchestral music by Leroy Anderson, Victor Herbert, Frank Bridge and Hamilton Harty.

Cdslogo2inch_small You don't have to be Irish to write Irish music any more than you have to be Jewish to love bagels. So this hour includes American composer Leroy Anderson's "Irish Suite" and English composer Frank Bridge's "An Irish Melody: Londonderry Air," as well as two pieces by composers who were actually born in Ireland: Victor Herbert and Hamilton Harty. Although this hour is perfect for scheduling on or near St. Patrick's Day, that Irish holiday is not actually mentioned, so that this program can be used any time. If you want this program to come out to exactly 58 minutes, you can do that by fading the closing "Danny Boy" music out at that time. Otherwise the song, as performed by the Celtic Tenors from their album, "Remember Me," will conclude at exactly 59 minutes. The complete script for the program, including information on every CD used, is available here or at www.compactdiscoveries.com.
