Joined by guest host Roger Mathew Grant, Professor of Music, and Dean of Arts and Humanities at Wesleyan University (23:07), Adam and Roger explore the evolution of music since the “reality show ready” era of the composers of the 18th century and how classical vibrations may dissuade Wrexham youngsters.
First, Adam and Roger scrutinize a McDonald's attempt to use classical music to deter unruly youngsters, and it's weird connection to how the language of music has evolved and changed throughout history (04:25).
Then, they tightrope through the Ed Sheeran, Marvin Gaye lawsuit and offer insight into the world of musical borrowing and how 18th century composers, especially Bach, set the tone for artistic theft (40:59).
Tune in now and enjoy the type of conversations you wish you had around the workplace water cooler!
