The Fall of the City
"The Fall of the City," a 1937 CBS radio drama by Archibald MacLeish that starred Orson Welles and Burgess Meredith, is considered one of the most socially significant – and boldly experimental – works in the history of radio...and Wendy & Lisa did the music for the new production.

i am so excited to go to new york and see the performance of "Fall Of The City". we had a great time scoring the music. we had to use our imaginations as opposed to watching action on the screen. wendy read the script out loud and we tried to time the pieces to fit the dialogue.
it is a very poetic and politically relevant story. it is ambitious and sophisticated, and i am a big fan of Sarah Montague who produced and directed this project. She works on many shows for WNYC. i have also been a huge fan of WNYC shows like RADIO LAB and SOUNDCHECK....etc. so it was a thrill when they called to ask us to write music for this project.

What a unique and interesting project for you guys to be involved in. I wish I had heard about it earlier would have loved to have been there for the broadcast. Thank you for WFOWC by the way. It is like a cold glass of water in hell. I love it!
