Option 1: As a Self-Contained Spot

FUNDER MESSAGE RUNDOWN, TRANSCRIPT and TIMINGS

Music Bed:  Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 (I)

Intro:  Conductor Roy Goodman asks the age-old question regarding the most famous four notes in all classical music.

Roy Goodman Clip:  “What do we do with those notes?  Do they have any musical value, as such?  Is that just a fanfare call?  I guess it has all sorts of connotations for different people, but my heavens, they stop your heart don't they?  It's such an arresting idea.  But - ahhh - what did I do the last time?  I can't think.  I flew my arms in the air, and just hoped for the best.”

Outro:  For music that stops your heart, and music that always encourages you to hope for the best, Public Radio is the place to be.  Listen... Contribute... Enjoy.   (Text out at 0:49)
