  Aug 25, 202624 minS4

  Today I am joined by Brian Gaul and Matt Workman, the filmmaker and producer behind the recent documentary film Choral Singing in America, which is now available for viewing through Amazon, YouTube, and Apple TV. It's a beautiful film that showcases the many different types of choral singing in the United States. It was really great to unpack the film with them and I hope after listening you are excited to watch it for yourself.

  71. Navigating Cody Fry's "Symphony No. 1: The Unlikely Mariner"

  Jul 14, 202634 minS4

  Today's guest is one of my favorite artists, singer, songwriter, fellow "Nashvillain", and French Horn enthusiast Cody Fry , whose unique blend of songwriting and classical music has created a passionate fan base and helped bridge the gap between pop and classical music for millions of people. He's been on a hot streak lately with three Grammy nominations for best arrangement, a busy travel schedule performing with top symphony orchestras all over the country, and most recently the premiere of his " Symphony no.1: The Unlikely Mariner ", a 16-minute multimedia work recorded in a 2,000-gallon water tank in front of a 130 ft LED wall. Longtime listeners of the show will know that I've long been an advocate for artists to release their own sheet music, and Cody is one of the best at that. There's so much that we cover in this episode and I think you'll really be blown away by Cody. Garrett's arrangements of Cody's music: Go What If Photograph Want Me Back Pictures of Mountains
