Trivia In the nineteenth episode of the third season of the CBS cult comedy-drama-fantasy Alaska-set television series Northern Exposure, Wake-Up Call, a beat in which Mary Margaret "Maggie" O'Connell slow-danced with a were-bear in his cave was accompanied by an excerpt from von Stade's Columbia recording of the Baïlèro from Canteloube's Chants d'Auvergne. The track was among those that appeared on the show's original soundtrack album.
