Leonard Bernstein’s Masterful Lectures on Music (11+ Hours of Video Recorded in 1973) In 1972, the composer Leonard Bernstein returned to Harvard, his alma mater, to serve as the Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry, with “Poetry” being defined in the broadest sense. The position, first created in 1925, asks faculty members to live on campus, advise students, and most importantly, deliver a series of six public lectures. T.S. Eliot, Aaron Copland, W.H. Auden, e.e. cummings, Robert Frost, Jorge Luis Borges — they all previously took part in this tradition. Delivered in the fall of 1973 and collectively titled “The Unanswered Question,” Bernstein’s lectures covered a lot of terrain, touching on poetry, linguistics, philosophy and physics.

Set List: Randy Newman  | Music | Set List In Set List, we talk to veteran musicians about some of their most famous songs, learning about their lives and careers in the process, and maybe hearing a good backstage anecdote or two. The musician: Although he’s perhaps best known these days as the funny-looking guy who regularly turns up on the Academy Awards broadcast singing cartoon songs, Randy Newman was a songwriter’s songwriter before he ever put notes in Buzz Lightyear’s mouth. Newman’s father was a doctor, but his paternal uncles Alfred, Lionel, and Emil were Hollywood film composers, and he sat in on orchestral recording sessions almost from the point where he was old enough to walk into them. He cut his first single while still in his teens and was briefly a member of a group that became Harpers Bizarre, but Newman didn’t look or sound like anyone’s idea of a pop star. It wasn’t until Harry Nilsson devoted the entirety of his 1970 album Nilsson Sings Newman to Newman’s songs that the industry began to take notice.
