Once upon a time (yesterday), I decided it might be fun to do a show of fairy tale music and music inspired by nursery rhymes. This is the kind of thing I often did for Mother’s Day, back when I had my regular weekend air shifts. But a lazy August morning seems as good a time as any to spend with the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault and others.

To this end, we’ll hear music by Havergal Brian, Daniel Dorff, Paul Hindemith, Gustav Holst, William Hurlstone, Nikolai Medtner, Robert McBride, Robert Moran, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Ernst Toch, Siegfried Wagner, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Alexander Zemlinsky (or variations thereof).

Musical subjects will include Pinocchio, Snow White, Old King Cole, The Little Mermaid, Three Blind Mice, and Beauty and the Beast.

Fall under the enchantment tomorrow from 6 to 11 a.m. ET, on WPRB 103.3 FM or at wprb.com. Awake to a musical kiss from Classic Ross Amico.
