Tune in at 12 AM, June 9th and hear the Gypsy Scholar present the second installment of the Orphic Essay-with-Soundtrack series entitled, “May Day Carnivalesque,” a new but related musical essay series to the previous one, “Beltane / May Day: A Holiday For Pagans & Workers.”
Part 2 of this new musical essay series will continue where Part 1 (available for listening on the “Archived Musical Essays” webpage, with its corresponding playlist on the “Program Playlists” webpage, on the Tower of Song website) left off and go into the (pagan) origins, history, and customs of “Carnival” (a classification of which the annual May Day festivities of “misrule” are a prime example) in relation to the concept of “carnivalesque.”
Be sure to check out the fantabulous “May Day Carnivalesque” webpage that’s dedicated to this musical essay series located on the Tower of Song website at revradiotowerofsong.com.
