Yo-Yo Ma: In his own words

NOTES:

Tape time is 3:22. Ends with :17 music tail
Add approx :35 for intro/outro

INTRO: 

When Yo-Yo Ma picks up his cello, you never know exactly 
what to expect. You might hear Dvorak or Vivaldi. But you may 
be just as likely to hear him teaming up with friends he's met 
on his world travels, and playing an Appalachian Waltz ... or a 
Silk Road lament ... or a rollicking samba.

Yo-Yo Ma says his musical journeys have deepened his 
experience of ALL the music he plays, from Bach to Brazil -- 
and back again.

This is how he describes his music ... in his own words ...

TAPE IN:  "Playing music that is not part of a supposed 
record-bin category ..."

TAPE OUT: Ends with :17 music tail Last spoken words: "... 
as inventive as one can."

OUTRO: 

Cellist and world-traveler Yo-Yo Ma. We heard from him as 
part of"Musicians in their own words," produced by David
Schulman and supported by the Corporation for Public 
Broadcasting.  

[You can hear still another side of Yo-Yo Ma April 29th, when 
he performs music by Vivaldi on "Live from Lincoln Center." 

[Yo-Yo Ma's latest CD is called "Vivaldi's Cello." He'll be 
performing on DATE at VENUE in CITY. ]
