WCU Stories      September 6, 2018

Christina L. Reitz , WCU associate professor of music, contributed two entries to “The Classical Music Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained,” the 19th volume in the highly successful “Big Ideas Series.” The collection is published by Dorling Kindersley, a British company under the parent organization of Penguin Random House. “The Classical Music Book,” released Aug. 28, examines significant works in the western art canon through the historical lens of socio-cultural perspectives. The subjects of Reitz's invited entries were “L’Amour de Loin” by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho and “blue cathedral” by American composer Jennifer Higdon.
