On the latest episode of Extra Eclectic, host Steve Seel returns to the theme of fall for two hours of atmospheric contemporary classical sounds evoking falling leaves and melancholy vistas. We hear from Lithuanian composer Zibuokle Martinaityte (Autumn from her suite Sielunmaisema, a Finnish word meaning “landscape of the soul”), Mary Lattimore (Pine Trees), Jennifer Higdon (Autumn Music), and more. Listen now!
