Update: Part #3 of this extended version of the Orphic Essay-with-Soundtrack series, “New Year & Rebirth In Archaic Myth & Ritual,” broadcast on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, is now available for listening on the “Archived Musical Essays” webpage, along with the corresponding playlist on the “Program Playlist” webpage, of the Tower of Song website at revradiotowerofsong.com.
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr Day, this extended installment weaves in some of Dr. King’s ideas that coincide with the archetypal theme running through this musical essay series: “new beginnings” and a “new world.”
Be sure to check out the fantabulous “New Year’s” webpage that is dedicated to this musical essay series located on the Tower of Song website.
