Highway 89

Many people would describe Molly in the Mineshaft as playing "contemporary folk music for contemporary folks." With instruments lining the studio wall to wall, this band played contemporary tunes and a handful of original songs as well, often patterned on folk pieces they've come to love. Their music includes Celtic, folk, blues, bluegrass, and even pop and rock influences. We thouroughly enjoyed hearing them play and engaging in fun conversation including how the name "Molly in the Mineshaft" came to be. 

Songs featured: Bill's Reel, Minor/Stranger, Billy Dooley, Fair Maid, Gets Me Through, Raise a Ruckus, Fiddler's Despair, These Words Meant for You, Kolb, All Creatures, The Parting Glass

We're excited to have heard some delightful and unusual music on the show. This episode is filled with "hit songs" from the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th century. Before Mozart, Schubert, and Handel, the hitmakers were folks like Antony Holborn, Thomas Campion, and Henry Purcell. You'll hear songs from these folks as well as an incredibily prolific composer of the era- a guy named "Anonymous." Very interesting instruments lined the studio during this recording session and resulted in a fun hour filled with these 13th century "hit songs." 

Songs featured: Hollie Berry, Strawberry Leaves/Nutmeg and Ginger, Stella Splendens in Monte, Ecce Novum Gaudium, Robin is to the Greenwood Gone, Daphne, The Honie Suckle, Bele Bonne, Un Cavalier di Spagna, The Jew's Dance, FARMER's Pavane, Blow Thy Horn Hunter, Chaconne for Recorders, If Love's a Sweet Passion, Sing Me A Song, Summer is Icumen In, Jubilate Deo, Schein Gagliarda, Tango Baroquita

For such a new group with such young members- all in their twenties- the Tribeca Ensemble has an outstanding list of credentials. Since 2016, the six members of the Tribeca Ensemble have performed together nationally and internationally, at places like the Hermitage Museum, Kasteel Amerongen, and Wanlass Performance Hall. Their performances have been widely acclaimed and they continue to cement themselves as on of the region's premiere chamber groups. Although they are generally billed as a sextet, they perform as quartets, trios, duets, and soloists, filling every concert- including their time on Highway 89- with a unique variety of musical experiences. 

Songs featured: Prelude and Fugue for String Quartet Hess 30 (Beethoven), Prelude and Fugue for String Quartet Hess 31 (Beethoven), Appalachia Waltz for Solo Cello (Mark O'Connor), Serenade "Spitzweg" for 2 Violins and Viola op. 25 (Toch), Misirlou for String Quartet (Dale arr. Ebene)
