Earth Day Music on WPRB

This Sunday morning on WPRB, I’ll be playing a lot of garbage. So what else is new? No, really. One of my featured works will be the “Garbage Concerto,” by Canadian composer Jan Järvlepp. The piece incorporates percussion instruments fashioned out of recyclable material. I thought it only appropriate, since tomorrow is Earth Day.

We’ll also hear two sizeable choral works in the form of the “Missa Gaia: Mass for the Earth,” by Libby Larsen, and “Hymn to the Earth,” by Edward Joseph Collins, in 1929 acting well ahead of the modern environmentalism curve.

Take a walk in the forest with a symphonic poem by Mikalojus Čiurlionis. View the earth from the International Space Station with a cello concerto by Osvaldo Golijov. Toot on a conch shell with Peter Sculthorpe.

Why on Earth would you want to miss it?

Every dog may have its day, but there’s only one Earth. Celebrate Earth Day, this Sunday morning from 7 to 10 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. I’ll be nothing if not earthy, on Classic Ross Amico.
