This is good, languorous sharps to minors .. so rock n roll ;)
 In 1876, the poet Stéphane Mallarmé published a poem entitled The Afternoon of a Faun. He doubted anyone could set it to music successfully. But composer Claude Debussy did exactly that. The resulting music -- Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun -- runs only about nine minutes long, but it helped give birth to the modern era as we know it. It's more than just a famous piece of music. It stands at  the beginning of the world we still live in. It's a guide, in sound, to the political, social, moral and geopolitical changes that ended the nineteenth and created the twentieth century.And it remains an existential and culturally shape-shifting work of art that offers us clues into who we are today. Contributor Robert Harris and Tafelmusik's Ivars Taurins bring us inside the spellbinding magic of Debussy's imagining.
