Episode 071 | Hindemith Viola Sonata No. 4 Op. 25

In these difficult times ahead we wanted to share with you the organizations & ensembles that are bringing live performances into your home. Feat. Metropolitan Opera & Berlin Philharmoniker, these ensembles give FREE full-access to their digital archives and performances, enjoying performances while we are all in a remote state of life. Please support your local musicians, artists & organizations. They need you especially at a time like now. Cheers everyone, be safe & healthy. 

We revisited one of our lowest streamed but one of our favorite episodes to date. Feat. Tan Dun's 'Symphony 1997' and barrel aged beer, this episode is intense and incredible. 

We take this episode to recognize the impact one educator can make on an individual. Remembering the life of Uncle Jeffy (Mr. Herchenroder, our high school orchestra teacher), we feature Holst's 'St. Paul Suite' which was standard repertoire for our program, and paired it with the 'Uncle Jeffy' cocktail, made with earl grey tea and Bulleit rye whiskey. Take a moment to remember the educator(s) that positively influenced your life.

This episode is taking you back to basics. From analyzing the parts of a fugue to the specific notes of different types of beers, this episode is bringing you back to your roots in order to enjoy all the parts of beer and music.

This obscure episode features the final movement of the Hindemith Viola Sonata No. 4 Op. 25 paired with Notch Brewing Co.'s Session Dunkel. We explore the unknown of music & beer, and that makes this episode, groundbreaking.

Episode 070 features three movements from Mozart's Requiem that Mozart originally composed before passing away in 1791. Pairing it with Station 119's Black IPA from Suffolk, England, this episode is sadly a heavy, but beautiful pairing.

This heavy episode features Singlecut Beersmith's 'Heavy Boots of Lead' paired with the 2nd movement of Bartok's String Quartet No. 2. Anxiety, yes. Awesomeness, yes.

This episode is all about sleep. Featuring 'Sleep' the 1999 choral work from Eric Whitacre, to the positive effects for quality sleep from hop tea.

This scandalous episode features 'Rubaeus' from Founder's Brewing Co. paired with Samuel Barber's 'Overture to School for Scandal' (1931).

The 100th anniversary of prohibition is Friday, January 17th, 2020 and we are celebrating by drinking 'Upside Dawn' from Athletic Brewing Co., a non-alcoholic gluten-removed golden ale while listening to Rondo a Capriccio for piano by Beethoven.
