The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia.

Music

  • We hear Waltz from the score to Angels & Insects.
  • Movements IV and II from David Liptak’s Serenade for Alto Sax and Strings.
  • A bit of Violin Solo no. 1 from Peter Broderick.
  • Some of Zucht 2 from Machienfabrik.
  • A bit of Origami Tulips from Lullatone.
  • Unseen Forces from Justin Walter.
  • Midnight Moon from Annalisa Tornfelt and Gideon Freudman
  • Ida Lupino from Paul Bley’s Changes album from 1965.
  • And Lost Fur (Reprise) from the score to Where the Wild Things Are.

Notes

  • Many of my favorite things I read for this piece were contemporary newspaper tributes upon her death in 1911. They’re easy to find.
  • By far the most useful thing I read was Lenore Skomal’s The Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter: The Remarkable True Story of American Heroine, Ida Lewis. It’s very well researched and highly readable.
