If a blast on the shofar sends you into ecstasies, have I got the show for you!

There will be shofars aplenty over the course of my five hours on WPRB this morning, as we listen to music by Jewish composers and/or on Jewish themes, in honor of the High Holy Days.

There will be works by composers such as Paul Ben-Haim, Herman Berlinski, Ernest Bloch, David Diamond, Sril Irving Glick, John McCabe, Sergei Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel, Paul Schoenfield, Dmitri Shostakovich, David Stock, and Philadelphia natives Louis Gesensway and Amanda Harberg.

We’ll also be upholding an annual WPRB tradition, initiated by Teri Noel Towe, of airing a recording of Pablo Casals performing Max Bruch’s “Kol Nidrei.”

A number of these composers aren’t even Jewish – and a few of the pieces aren’t particularly “Jewish” sounding – but all of them pay tribute to the fecundity and soulfulness of the Jewish experience.

Join me this morning from 6 to 11 ET, at WPRB 103.3 FM or wprb.com, for music for the Days of Awe, the ten days that span Rosh Hashanah (the New Year) to Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). If you need anything, just “give a challah,” to Classic Ross Amico.
