As the first official day of summer ends with the first summer night of the year, host Steve Seel is ready with an episode of contemporary summer-night sounds on Extra Eclectic. Jennifer Higdon paints a vivid seasonal picture in her work Summer Shimmers Across the Glass of Green Ponds, and we take in the summer sky with Summer, by Michael Harrison. In the show's second hour, we go to the beach with Britra Bystrom's Figures at the Seaside and Kate Moore's Stories for Ocean Shells.
