On this week’s Extra Eclectic, the words are the thing — even when they’re unspoken. We hear music that sets specific text — such as John Adams’ Harmonia, setting the poems of Emily Dickinson and John Donne — and pieces that offer strictly musical impressions of poetry and prose, including Christopher Theofanidis’ Viola Concerto, inspired by Native American poetry.
