Rob Kapilow's '03'
Composer/conductor Rob Kapilow's piece commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase.
All Things Considered - April 30, 2003

Suggested by Julie, who listens to KJZZ in Phoenix:

"I was spellbound by the story "Rob Kapilow's '03'" on All Things Considered (April 30th). I sat mesmerized in the parking lot at work, then stayed for several minutes afterwards trying to absorb what I had heard. That evening, I took it all in again on npr.org.

Rob Kapilow's unbridled enthusiasm for his project comes through in every ebullient word. His beautiful music relays the story of the Louisiana Purchase in a very unique way. I found the mixing of this important American history lesson with music and poetic quotations to be an amazing amalgam. No history professor could have made the Louisiana Purchase more relevant than Rob Kapilow did at that moment."
