I’ll start with some exciting news, I’ve been nominated for an award for this blog site from Blog Awards Ireland in the best music category. It’s in the long list stage yet but fingers crossed I’ll make it the short list!

On this weeks Classical Sounds with Andrew Newman I’ve something old by Beethoven, something retentively new with music by Ola Gjeilo. He is a US based Norwegian composer who seems to concentrate on choral music which is very approachable and melodic.  I’m continuing to discover the great music of Hans Gál, a short fugue written when he was in his 90th year! For you Gálites out there it’s about 25 minutes into the show.

This was first broadcast on Claremorris Community Radio on Sunday 27th July 2014.
