In 1824 when the radio and TV stations of Newgate were known by the call letters NWGT, they have offered the finest music played around the world and in other dimensions.  They have given listeners and viewers the chance to hear and watch great performers throughout time from ancient times to contemporary times and allowed people to feel like they are actually in concert halls, opera houses, and other musical venues.  With transdimensional equipment, cameras and microphones have given people the chance to be closer to performers than any audiences could ever get. 

People have seen Handel conduct his water music on the Thames and seen the fireworks that accompanied his Royal Fireworks music.  The recording of the water music may have been over a century old.   But it seemed like a live performance from the first day it was shown on the TV station. 

The first concert the cameras of NWGT caught took place in Vienna at the Kamtnertortheater on May 7, 1824 when Beethoven and Michael Umlauf conducted the music of Beethoven which featured the composer’s Ninth Symphony.  It brought people to their feet in Vienna and Newgate when it was presented live that morning in the Forbren Auditorium.  Beethoven may have never come to Newgate.  But it seemed as if he was there both in the morning before an audience of 1200 and that night in a packed house. 

World premiers were presented by NWGT for listeners and viewers in their homes and on the stage of the Forbren Auditorium.  Since it cost so little to present projections of concerts and operas on the stage, the auditorium was able to present productions that would have cost thousands of dollars for pennies on the dollar.  The audiences that paid didn’t feel cheated seeing projections because they knew that somewhere in the world or in other dimensions, audiences were also enjoying the performances. 

Every opera of Wagner was presented by projection on the stage of the Forbren Auditorium and received mixed reviews.  The last of the Ring Cycle, Gotterdammerung, didn’t receive complaints because of the music.  It’s 6 1/2 hour first performance presented a workout for performers in Germany and for the audience in Newgate that had to sit through the production. 

With special equipment, listeners and viewers were able to read the thoughts of performers and composers starting in 1856 when people discovered how antisemitic Wagner was and that he thought other composers weren’t as competent as he was.  That still didn’t keep his music from being accepted in Newgate.   But their opinion of him was tempered by what they knew about him.  And when Tchaikovsky was discovered to be a homosexual early on in his career, the people may have been put off by his sexual preference.  But they still considered him a fabulous composer and enjoyed seeing him conduct and at times perform. 

Listeners and viewers also enjoyed popular music like that of Stephen Foster and a sensation in several dimensions; Urgran Ryermon.  Ryermon lived from 1849 until 1922 when he was shot by a jealous woman who thought he was cheating on her with a notorious madam named Auran Hailor.  Actually, he pretended to be in love with the woman so he could get close to three of the women she employed as “fluffers,” as they are called in the pornographic film industry.  Whenever the madam was busy with a client, she would have the women get naked and play with him in one of the “play rooms.”  He also had fun playing with them and looked forward to the times the madam was busy. 

The first popular piece Ryermon composed and had produced was the light opera “Stagelmon’s Dilemma” which was about a man who loved to see prostitutes at night even though during the day he taught young women how to play the piano and sing.  He fell in love with one of his students who had pius parents who expected him to be respectable.   He even began going to church and playing the piano there. 

But at nights he still frequented the whore houses, only secretly.  When the pastor of the church visited one of the places to pass out Christian literature during visitation, he spotted the wayward teacher and piano player at the piano with some scantily clad women surrounding him.  A couple women caused the pastor to give into his desires to have sex with them.  But he stopped before he could go all the way with them and knew that Stagelmon could blackmail him for his indiscretion. 

The dilemma came when some of the women he saw at night started coming to the church and their show of affection, though fairly harmless, toward the man bothered his girlfriend.  Should he devote his heart to the one woman who could change his life for the better or should he keep seeing the women who gave him pleasure at night? 

It was composed and first produced in 1872 and foreshadowed how he lived after the turn of the century when he was a successful composer, wealthy investor, and a sexually driven man who sometimes enjoyed the company of prostitutes over a dozen times a day.  But he also showed affection toward decent women who thought they could change him.  It cost him his life in 1922.

Before Scott Joplin was considered a significant composer and the inventor of ragtime music, he was popular in Newgate.  While Stravinsky’s music for “Rite of Spring” was being booed in Paris on May 29, 1913, it was captivating the audience that morning in Newgate since they were used to music that to most outsiders sounded strange.  And when the audience in the Forbren Auditorium saw the athleticism of Nijinsky, the people knew they were watching one of the greatest ballet dancers to ever grace a stage.  Many thought he had to be from another dimension because his leaping ability seemed to be enhanced.

Eventually, NWGT had to divide into five music formats.  In 1919 it divided into classical and popular music stations.  In 1925 when it was WNGT it split into Broadway and also Christian music to bring the number of formats to four.  By 1932 Country and Western music gained a format when performances from the Grand Ole Opry began to be shown in the underground auditorium where the Newgate war criminals trial would be held in 1946.  It has been shown in projection form ever since. 

The radio station was officially split from the television station in 1891.  But often they would share broadcasting duties if a program proved to be popular enough to warrant inclusion on both stations.  Late night programming was the last to fully split radio from television.  That happened in 1928.  After that, the five radio formats and the three television formats of classical music productions, movies and stage productions, and standard programming fare similar to what stations on the outside produced presented the public with five radio station choices and three TV station choices from Newgate.  Music was emphasized more on the radio while studio productions became standard offerings.  Sometimes the radio stations would have camera crews go out to broadcast concerts and other productions.  But viewers either had to pay a little more for something called Radio Plus which allowed viewers to see performances and not just listen to them or they could go to the auditoriums that offered stage productions. 

A second underground auditorium near the university offered swing music from the 30’s to the 40’s, jazz starting in the mid-40’s, and rock and roll starting in the early 50’s.  If you think the 60’s and 70’s were wild in the outside world, the music coming from other dimensions was downright revolutionary.   Computerized instruments that had distinct sounds that no instruments on the outside could totally duplicate were heard and some singers that had voices with six or seven octaves of range sang songs that ranged from unintelligible, to deeply disturbing, to deeply moving. 

One such singer with that type of vocal mastery is Orgter Valintrare.  He is an interdimensional that can sing Trellian opera on the stage on Saturday night, sing like an angel in church on Sunday, and do vocal gymnastics that no one can duplicate on stage and in studios Monday through Friday.  He isn’t married.  But women adore him.  But he isn’t homosexual just because he can reach notes the best opera sopranos can’t reach.  He loves women just as much as they love him.  But he is not promiscuous.  He is a virgin who is saving himself for the right woman.  It’s just that he hasn’t found that woman.  But he believes someday he will.  He doesn’t sing like a rock star because his voice is too pure. 

When Orgter had a series of concerts in the Forbren auditorium back in 2008, he sang popular songs on Monday night, art songs on Tuesday night, appeared in the opera “Fanglier the Magnificent” on Wednesday night, appeared in the musical “Wide Open” on Thursday night, sang “interesting” (some say absolutley weird) songs on Friday night, and sang deeply spiritual songs on Saturday night.  And just like God, he rested on the seventh day.  Each performance was sold out and even when the performances are presented in projection 3-D, they sell out. 

Music has been the mainstay of the stations of WNGT from the very beginning.  Musical tastes may change while others stay pretty much the same over the decades.  But until God destroys the world with fire, WNGT will be offering music for listeners and viewers 24 hours a day everyday.
