For most people, “early music” means Beethoven, Bach and Debussy. But scholar Angela Mariani is interested in what came before those composers.

On this week’s Here & Now DJ Session, host Jeremy Hobson speaks with Mariani, host of the nationally syndicated radio show “ Harmonia Early Music” from WFIU Public Radio, which highlights medieval, renaissance and baroque music.
