Music History Monday

64

Exploring Music History with Professor Robert Greenberg one Monday at a time. Every Monday Robert Greenberg explores some timely, perhaps intriguing and even, if we are lucky, salacious chunk of musical information relevant to that date, or to … whatever. If on (rare) occasion these features appear a tad irreverent, well, that’s okay: we would do well to remember that cultural icons do not create and make music but rather, people do, and people can do and say the darndest things.

    Excellent podcast
    Dr. Greenberg is always highly entertaining and informative. He’s a master at putting music in context and making it part of a larger story. It’s a podcast that I listen to as soon as it shows up in my feed.

    A hidden gem!
    I found Dr. Greenberg through a free audible download of “Music As a Mirror of History”. After devouring the audiobook, I looked for more of his work and stumbled upon this podcast. This is absolute gold. Thank you, Dr. Bob!

    Go Dr. Bob!!!
    Dr. Greenberg is one of the finest lecturers I have encountered in any academic discipline. An accomplished master of the musical arts and remarkably well-versed in history and literature, Dr. Greenberg wears his deep erudition with effortless grace and jocularity. For the listener seeking a first tour through the wondrous but intimidating world of the classic Western musical repertoire, I can think of no better (or friendlier or funnier) guide than Dr. Bob. — Naturally, great teachers like Dr. Greenberg are becoming rarer and rarer at the modern American university. The reason is simple: effective defenders of Western culture are no longer welcome there, nor indeed is any scholar who would dare to question (let alone oppose) the rising tide of neofascist race hysteria within academia. Thank God that the internet has given Dr. Greenberg a form of academic freedom that is unassailable by merciless authoritarian children and their pusillanimous abettors in the administrative offices. — Let’s make it worth Dr. Bob’s while to be here, for he surely makes it worth our while to tune in!

    Without equal
    Prof. Greenberg is without peer. He’s a vast resource of obscure musical knowledge, and a master storyteller. His hypnotic and engaging voice has sparked my interest in areas of music I had never considered. I’m forever grateful I stumbled upon him.
