PORTABLE PROFESSOR TM is a series of exciting and informative lectures recorded by some of today's most renowned university and college professors. Each course introduces listeners to fascinating, and sometimes startling, insights into the intellectual forces that shape our understanding of the world. Each package includes 14 riveting lectures presented by notable professors as well as a book-length course guide.

From the "Spring" of Vivaldi's Four Seasons to Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring, our appreciation of musical masterpieces can be deeply enhanced by an understanding of what makes them great. In this dynamic, melody-filled series of lectures, Professor Jeffrey D. Lependorf guides listeners through the styles and structures, terms and techniques, that unlock the secrets of dozens of Western music's most renowned works, while highlighting the intriguing biographies of music's immortal masters.

COURSE LECTURES

The Red Priest and His All-Girl Orchestra (Vivaldi's "Spring" from Four Seasons) The Case of Runaway Soloist (Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5) All Rise and Sing Hallelujah! (Handel's Messiah) More Than Just a Little Night Music (Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik) Magnificent Obsession: The World in Four Notes (Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C Minor) Romanticism with a Capital "R," or Be Careful What You Wish For (Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique) How to Make a Piano Sing (Chopin's Nocturne in D-flat) Going Forward by Looking Back (Brahms's Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel) A Tale of Love and Death (Wagner's Tristan und Isolde) It Takes Two, Baby (Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition) A Quiet Revolution (Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) Modernism with a Bang!

Dr. Lependorf's musical works, which include operas, chamber music, film scores, and a new repertoire of music for the shakuhachi (an ancient Japanese bamboo flute on which he is a certified master), have been performed in the United States, Italy, Ireland, Japan, and even in outer space, when a recording of his work "Night Pond" was played aboard the Russian space station Mir.
