The Indian Queen
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, May 27, 2018 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Henry Purcell wrote a number of musical dramas or semi-operas, the last of which is The Indian Queen. Purcell was unable to complete the score before his untimely death, and consequently, it is one of his least performed stage works. But the renowned early music choral group, The Sixteen along with founder-leader Harry Christophers, recorded the work in 2014 and released it on their Coro label. We feature it this week.
And Rachel talks with award-winning North Carolina food writer Debbie Moose about her latest book, Carolina Catch: Cooking North Carolina Fish and Shellfish from the Mountains to the Coast. Learn about the great variety of fish available in the state and hear some interesting ideas for preparing it.
