This coffee break goes on a trip through memory to discover the pieces of music that were crucial to Mr. Somer's love of music and his career as a musician, composer, and critic. We travel back with Samuel Barber to "Knoxville: Summer of 1915," go a train trip with Villa-Lobos' "The Little Train to Caipira," and sing along with Norman Dello Joio's A Jubilant Song. We even dip in Dave Brubeck's "The Riddle" and taste some Dixieland jazz.
