A big trend in the 2000\\u2019s saw contemporary music ensembles   commissioning composers not to write new pieces for them but to arrange   music by pop artists.

We\\u2019ll listen to music from two such collaborations: Alarm Will Sound  performing arrangements of electronic musician Aphex Twin and Osso  Quartet\\u2019s arrangements of indie pop superstar Sufjan Stevens.

Hosted by Seth Boustead
\\nProduced by Jesse McQuarters
