Episode Synopsis "Episode 11: Mark Zaki - Can I Borrow That?"

Rutgers University Professor of Music, TACOtalk producer, and violinist Mark Zaki discusses with Tom the practice of composers “borrowing” from those who came before them. Enjoy excerpts of great music as they trace a trail of musical appropriation of the 11th century Gregorian Easter Chant Victimae Paschali Laudes across the centuries to Martin Luther, then on to Bach’s early 18th century setting in Christ lag in Todesbanden, and finally to Mark’s own setting of the work in his string quartet it comes to tell us it is gone.
