EPISODE 375 - Game Rankings

Jeff Counts and Carol Anderson share background and behind-the-scenes information about the upcoming Utah Opera production of Sondeim’s Sweeney Todd.
In short, Sweeney Todd is a vengeance story in the vein of so many of the tragedies Utah Opera has staged in recent years. Although there is a high body count in this production, it’s about more than just murder. The complex stories and motives of both the principal and chorus characters are intricately weaved together with musical motifs that add depth to their respective roles in a way that only Sondheim could achieve.
The original production featured an industrial set and staging with turntable and trap doors. Early reviews claimed the combination of music and theater “magic” of the now beloved work was almost too much for its own good. 
Utah Opera’s production is cast with opera singers that are able to vocally straddle the fine divide between opera and music theater.

Ghost Light Episode 9.4 - Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition

For over 50 years, John Williams has delighted millions of listeners with his epic film music. Compositionally sophisticated and melodically inventive, his more than one hundred cinematic scores are masterpieces of virtuosic story-telling. In one of their patented Deep Dives™️, film score devotees Jeff and Carol talk about John Williams' life and amazing body of work, while sharing their personal experiences of Williams' music, both as listeners and performers.

Ghost Light Episode 9.6 - The Music of John Williams

Though there is a children’s chorus, a children’s ballet, and adults playing children, "Hansel and Gretel" is much more than a children’s opera. In preparation for Utah Opera’s presentation of this beloved fairytale, Jeff and Carol talk about the opera’s backstory and why it’s one of the more underrated and sophisticated scores of the late nineteenth century.

Ghost Light Episode 9.7 - Humperdinck's "Hansel & Gretel" Prelude

From riots to radicalism to Disney and dinosaurs, Igor Stravinsky's ballet "The Rite of Spring" blasted on the classical music scene in May of 1913 and has been captivating audiences ever since. In one of their Deep Dives, Jeff and Carol talk about the man behind the music, the stories around the premiere, and the music that still sounds modern more than a century later (even though it isn't).

Episode 9.8 - The Rite of Spring Deep Dive

This week Jeff and Carol sit down with Utah Symphony's Music Director Emeritus Thierry Fischer to talk about his upcoming Mahler mini-festival. Thierry also catches us up on his life since leaving Salt Lake City (hint: busy and fulfilling), his passion projects, and his new role of grandfather! 

Episode 9.9 - Catch Up with Music Director Emeritus Thierry Fischer

You've heard the aria and you've seen the iconic sad commedia clown face. Now join Jeff and Carol as they look beyond the greasepaint into the bleeding heart of Ruggero Leoncavallo's visceral opera. 

Episode 9.10 - Leoncavallo's Pagliacci Prelude

Jeff and Carol invite musicologist Catherine Mayes to help unpack the thorny topic of exoticism and colonialism in Western Music. This is part one of a three-episode introduction to Utah Opera's upcoming production of Puccini's Madame Butterfly.

Ghost Light

From its dramatic opening that gave its composer “no peace,” to its sparkling finale, Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor has been delighting listeners for almost two centuries. To open the USUO Ghost Light Podcast’s tenth season, Jeff and Carol uncover the artistic partnership behind this landmark (and revolutionary) work and consider why it remains a cornerstone of the concerto repertoire.

Episode 10.1 - Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto

#Ghostlight  
#devsays – “Some signals never arrive. Some arrivals, never signal.”

Track Details: 122 BPM, Electronic × Chillwave × Mythic Trance  
Vocal: Mixed (female, male, genderless), vocoded, whispered, shimmer overlays, granular delay, cello harmonics  
Mood: Mythic, emotionally ambiguous, introspective, spectral

Ghostlight opens in spectral silence — ambient pads and shimmer FX bloom around vocoded fragments and reversed tails. The build introduces cello harmonics, granular delay, and stereo bloom layered with whispered textures. The drop anchors the arc with sitar shimmer, gated FX, and loopable vocal fragments that drift across emotional ambiguity.

The breakdown softens into orchestral swells and ambient decay, while the outro fades into shimmer loops and ghostly echoes of the title phrase. The instrumental tail invites remixers to reframe the arc with cinematic restraint and modular vocal edits.

This track is an original composition, rendered in a mythic and emotionally cool style. It is shared publicly for immersive listening and artistic expression.

PRE-RELEASE, AVAILABLE ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS SOON  
Credits: Composed, arranged, curated, processed, produced, mixed, and mastered by Gautam Dev.

Fell Through the Floor

At just 28, Gustav Mahler redefined the symphony with his bold and deeply personal Symphony No. 1. From the stirrings of nature to the depths of human sorrow, Mahler poured his heart into this work—revising it several times as he refined this symphonic debut. Avid Mahler enthusiasts Jeff and Carol take a Deep Dive into this monumental piece, setting the stage for Music Director Designate Markus Poschner’s return to the Utah Symphony podium.

Episode 10.3 - Mahler's Symphony No. 1
