It's said that Franz Schubert suffered from a mood disorder called cyclothymia, causing rapid mood swings from one extreme to the other, and that this would sometimes even affect the tone of the music that he would write. Contemporary composer Anna Clyne says she wrote her work, Night Ferry, with Schubert in mind. Clyne describes the piece as "a journey between extreme physical, mental and emotional states." It's just one of the works Steve Seel brings us on this week's show, in addition to music by Gabriela Ortiz, Avner Dorman, Timo Andres and more.
