“He’s a nice, quiet, peace-lovin’ man come home to Ireland to forget his troubles.”

John Wayne gives Victor McLaglen a lathering in the epic climax of “The Quiet Man,” and composer Victor Young’s palette is all green. Join me for this alternately romantic and boisterous, folk-inflected score, alongside music for “The Luck of the Irish” by Cyril J. Mockridge, “Angela’s Ashes” by John Williams, and “Circle of Friends” by Michael Kamen,” featuring the talents of The Chieftains.

We set the tone for St. Patrick’s Day this week on “Picture Perfect,” tonight at 6:00 ET, with a repeat Saturday morning at 6; or listen to it later as a webcast at wwfm.org.

Then stick around, if you’re so inclined: there’s more film music at 8, as the Princeton Symphony Orchestra presents “A Silver Screen Salute.” I’ll be your host for this special concert, featuring guest conductor Lucas Richman and Broadway vocalist Jessica Hendy. The program is a mix of classic scores and more contemporary favorites, all of them tied in one way or another to the big screen.

I echo Barry Fitzgerald in stating, “Homeric!”
