Of Note for Thursday, October 16: Russian Looney Tunes

In the early days of animation, Russian cartoonist Mikhail Tsekhanovsky commissioned young composer Dmitri Shostakovich to write a score for his new cartoon The Tale of the Priest and His Worker, Balda​. While much of the film was burned during World War II, Shostakovich's score lives on and tells the humorous tale of a foolish priest and his naive young worker.  

Listen to it on Thursday's Of Note with Katy Henrisksen​.
