It’s November 1. All Saints’ Day.

While Mozart may have been no saint, he certainly did write some divine music. I hope you’ll join me for today’s Noontime Concert, as we enjoy his Serenade No. 10 in B-flat for 13 wind instruments, the so-called “Gran Partita.” The performance, by the period instrument ensemble Grand Harmonie, took place at Harvard Memorial Chapel in Cambridge, MA, on October 17, 2015. Grand Harmonie’s next concert, an all-Mozart program, will be held on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at St. Ignatius of Antioch, 552 West End Ave., in New York City. For more information, look online at grandharmonie.org.

Following the noon concert, we will continue with the afternoon’s programming, which will be devoted to some musical saints. Featured will be Franz Liszt’s “St. Francis of Assisi’s Sermon to the Birds,” Johann Sebastian Bach’s “St. Anne” Prelude and Fugue, Sir Arnold Bax’s “St. Patrick’s Breastplate,” Norman Dello Joio’s “The Triumph of Saint Joan,” and Ottorino’s “Church Windows” (which includes panels devoted to St. Michael the Archangel, St. Clare, and St. Gregory the Great), as well as music by St. Hildegard von Bingen.

I hope you’ll join me between 12 and 4 p.m. EDT for some heavenly music, on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.
