That’s the title of a Bernstein song: “I Hate Music” (“but I like to sing”). In this episode, Jay has Barbara Bonney sing it. There’s also music by Mozart and other familiar composers. And music off the beaten path: Catoire? And a brand-new work by the American Scott Wheeler. And more. The episode ends as the previous one did: with a piece by Leroy Anderson. After Phil Smith and some of his friends played this piece at Lincoln Center, Smith said, “Well, that was a gasser.” For sure.Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel, “La complaisante”Bernstein, “I Hate Music”Catoire, “Étude fantastique”Mozart, “Deh vieni non tardar,” from “The Marriage of Figaro”Wheeler, Scott, Adagietto from “Birds of America”: Violin Concerto No. 2Trad., arr.
