 Sunday Baroque
Baroque music is literally out of this world. When NASA launched the Voyager spacecraft in 1977 to study Jupiter and Saturn, the agency included a copper disc with instructions on how to play it. The disc contains greetings in dozens of languages, sounds representing our planet, and music. If any intelligent life form ever plays the disc, it’ll hear that music. And so will you, this week on Sunday Baroque. more classical music...

A Deadly Calling
(November 1943 - June 1944) - Despite American
victories in the Solomons and New Guinea, the Japanese empire still
stretches 4,000 miles. In November 1943, on the Pacific atoll of
Tarawa, the Marines set out to prove that any island can be taken by
all-out frontal assault. Back home, the public is devastated by color
newsreel footage and grows more determined to do
what's necessary to hasten the end of the war.
