Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).
For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.
| Composer | Performer | Title | Genre | Label | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marvin Gaye | What's Going On | R&B, Classic, '70s | Motown, 1971 | This is the entirety of Gaye's classic What's Going On album, one of the great classic Motown albums, and the last one to actually be made in Detroit. It is difficult to separate songs one from another here, since they mostly blend together on the album, so I just went ahead and played the entire album, which is a classic anyway and is worthy of such attention | |

| Erik Satie | Reinbert De Leeuw, piano | Quatre Ogives | Classical, Post-Impressionist, "Minimalism", 20th Century | Phillips Classics, 1995 | A set of four piano settings composed in 1886, Satie removed all bar lines to allow the performer to focus on melody without concern for time. Satie also focused his composition on a single chord, and all the different permutations thereof. |
