Osvaldo Golijov: Mariel

Composer Osvaldo Golijov says that when you learn of the loss of a loved one, there's a brief moment before the grief hits — that instant that will always serve as a marker between when you didn't know...and when you did. On today's episode, hear music of loss and longing: Mariel by Osvaldo Golijov.
