Music from the intersection of this world and others characterizes this week’s solo piano selections. From Unitarian composer Edvard Grieg’s depictions of Nordic mythological creatures, to New Englander Edward MacDowell’s spooky utterances and William Bolcom’s haunting tribute to his recently deceased father, this morning’s repertoire reminds us of another world and alternative dimensions. The CUUC Choir is also on hand with Leonard Cohen’s moving “Hallelujah”. Read on for programming details and stay tuned for spoken introductions.
