The Signal with Pat Carrabré- Friday JUNE 13, 2008
Lucky or unlucky, it is Friday the 13th and tonight Pat digs into the idea of luck and fortune with music from Halifax composer, pianist Peter Allen and Montreal’s Besnard Lakes. In concert this evening, also from Montreal, the high energy of electronics collides with jazz when Misteur Valaire take the stage. Pat also samples the many vintages of England’s electronica genius: Four Tet.




The Signal with Pat Carrabré - Saturday, JUNE 14, 2008
Tonight Pat will blow your mind with a concert from Halifax; the verbosity of Buck 65 joins arm in arm with the elegance of Symphony Nova Scotia. In high rotation tonight the latest release from Katie Stelmanis plus Pat will be giving away tickets to Calgary’s fab Sled Island Music Festival. Music from Montreal’s Matt Haimovitz, Iceland’s Múm and New York string quartet Ethel will also be woven into the night.




The Signal with Pat Carrabré - Sunday, JUNE 15, 2008
Tonight Pat will musically toast all the papas out there on Father’s Day. Sound track Sunday features music from the stress fest, Oscar winner Little Miss Sunshine with music by Toronto composer Michael Danna and Denver neo-gypsies Devotchka. This evening’s concert is all about memory but titled Requiem for a Polka from Winnipeg’s Groundswell music series. The performance features work by composers Claude Vivier, Jim Hiscott and James Harley.

I was listening to the show the evening of Sunday the 15th, and was awestruck by a stunning piece of modern classical music with a chilling soprano. I'm ashamed to say that I missed the name of the song, and sad to say that the radio 2 website playlist refuses to tell me what the song was.

Would someone be able to tell me what gorgeous piece of music it was that I heard?

Many thanks!

by the way, I was listening in hour one, and I believe I heard something about it being "Swedish".

Thanks again.

From your description, it would have to be Anders Billborg's ...Lotana in Sonno... from the new album by Anne-Sofie von Otter.
