Tune in at 12 a.m., Monday, July 22nd, and hear the Gypsy Scholar present the fourth installment of the Orphic Essay-with-Soundtrack series, “Romantic Total Revolution: The Democracy Of Soul & The Goddess Of Liberty,” in honor of Independence Day for 2024. This installment, by bringing together mytho-poetics and politics (i.e., the tradition of the Romantic Imagination with the tradition of democratic thought), continues to discover what America truly represents as a democratic ideal through the imagination of the European and American 19th-century poet-prophets and visionaries.

Be sure to check out the “Independence Day” and “Romantic Total Revolution” webpages, which are dedicated to this musical essay series, at revradiotowerofsong.com.

For those who missed hearing the previous three installments of this musical essay series, they can be listened to on the “Archived Musical Essays” webpage, along with the corresponding playlists on the “Program & Playlists” page, of the Tower of Song website.
