Capricorn Conversations

In this inaugural episode, composer Daron Hagen chats with filmmaker H. Paul Moon at the Wintergreen Music Festival in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia, where Daron has just premiered his feature-length score The Passion of Jekyll & Hyde for chamber orchestra (watch the complete film fused with his original music in concert at zenviolence.com/jekyll). He also recently released his memoir entitled Duet With the Past, and in this hour of conversation, we talk about that book, his insights as a composer, and his memories of peers like Gian Carlo Menotti, Ned Rorem, David Diamond, Leonard Bernstein, and Samuel Barber.
