This week on Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: hearl music by Bianca Gismonti performed by pianist Andree-Ann Deschenes, as well as pieces by Danielle Eva Schwob and Ariana Grande.. And, a work by Gabriel Vicens titled “El Mattoral.”


Then: Weather becomes the main character in the text set by Christopher Cerrone in his work Beaufort Scales - which takes its name from the 19th Century measuring system for wind and waves. Interestingly, the scale is also quite poetic and forms the backbone of Cerrone’s piece.
