Have you got a passion for Passions? Do you think Stabat Maters matter? Tune in to WPRB tomorrow morning for music for Holy Week. That’s right, it’s wholly music for Passiontide.

Well, not wholly. We’ll have some selections of a broadly mystical nature (William Alwyn’s harp concerto, “Lyra Angelica,” for instance), works of a meditative bent (for example, John Tavener’s “Song of the Angel”), and perhaps a couple of pieces concerning hope and renewal (such as Edmund Rubbra’s “Resurgam Overture”).

Otherwise, it will be music inspired by the Passion story, ranging roughly from Palm Sunday through, possibly, the observation of Russian Easter. Some of it will be purely orchestral (Paul Creston’s Symphony No. 3 “Three Mysteries,” Victor De Sabata’s “Gethsemani”) and some will include vocal soloists and chorus (Karol Szymanowski’s “Stabat Mater”).

Also, a certain listener has been requesting Eugene Ormandy’s recording of Respighi’s “Church Windows” since June, probably. Now seems as good a time as any to blast that out. For my own edification, I may have to play Vaughan Williams’ “Five Mystical Songs,” with the great John Shirley-Quirk.

This is a radio show, not a church service, so nobody freak out if an “Alleluia” or a “Gloria” slip into the mix, okay? We’re here to celebrate the music, not to scrupulously observe the minutiae of tradition. I’ll be lining the CD case with Easter grass, tomorrow morning from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com, and wishing you peace, hope, and happiness, on Classic Ross Amico.
