Connecticut-born poet Katherine Garrison Chapin wrote Plain-Chant for America in 1941, in collaboration with composer William Grant Still. She says their work addresses, “the gap between totalitarianism and the American democracy in which I believed.” Hear it in music this morning on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.

We’re thrilled to introduce Emily Boyer as WSHU's morning classical host.
