  • Since 2018, Early Music America has hosted its Emerging Artists Showcase, a series presenting the rising stars of early music and historical performance. This hour, we’ll conclude our celebration of their 2025 laureates with Comtessa’s program entitled Florilegium: Songs of Medieval England from 1150 to 1300.
Porchlight
Listen to the familiar and the forgotten through recorded song
Comics
With daily comic strips, it’s either a laugh with the next installment or a problem that may not be solved until tomorrow. The lesson either way is that life is short.
Books
Books allow us to communicate the deepest meaning between time periods, between cultures, between total strangers. Wherever it is, we can be there.
Act
Acting up and acting out are usually considered behavioral problems.
Cash Money
Cash money rewards conscious action in the moment. You have it. You spend it. Or not.
Story
More than anything else, story helps us define what is true and what is worth remembering.
Leap
The steps taken immediately before a leap will determine the distance covered.
Past
The past has too many witnesses to establish any certainty as to what actually happened.
Friends
The value of genuine acceptance outside of the family you were born into cannot be underestimated.
Place
The significance of place in our lives is both functional and spiritual. Our birthplace, our addresses, our final resting place all help to identify us and tell our story on this earth. Where we are in place also constantly calls upon us to be aware of the present moment.
Work
I got a few skills and I means to use ‘em.
Wardrobe
But can you tell me your hat size?
Time
Time is the most precious resource. We will never have enough. We always waste too much.
