If you’ve a mania for Whitmaniana, you need look no further than WWFM The Classical Network.

Walt Whitman was born on this date in Huntingdon, New York, 200 years ago; he died in Camden, New Jersey, in 1892.

America’s national poet has inspired literally hundreds of musical responses. We’ll liven up your Friday afternoon with choral works, orchestral pieces, and songs. Join me at a special time, from 12 to 4 p.m., for a playlist of tributes to “the bard of democracy.”

On a related note, “Picture Perfect,” at 6 p.m., will offer music from movies about poetry and poets, including selections from “Dead Poets Society” (Maurice Jarre), “Lady Caroline Lamb” (Richard Rodney Bennett), “Il Postino” (Luis Bacalov), and “Cyrano de Bergerac” (Dimitri Tiomkin).

Poetry and movies will also inform an exciting live broadcast, tomorrow at 7:30 p.m., of Bernard Herrmann’s radio play, “Whitman.” Baritone William Sharp will assume the title role, with the PostClassical Ensemble conducted by Angel Gil-Ordóñez at Washington National Cathedral. The program will also include Herrmann’s Clarinet Quintet “Souvenirs de Voyage” and “Psycho: A Narrative for String Orchestra.”

In addition, some of our archived shows may be of interest. Check out our webcasts, including a four-part series devoted to Whitman on “The Lost Chord.”

Also, Rachel Katz spoke with Malcolm J. Merriweather, music director of The Dessoff Choirs, last Saturday on “A Tempo.” The Dessoff Choirs will present three world premieres of Whitman settings, as part of a Whitman Bicentennial Festival, tonight at the Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew in New York City. That show too has been archived.

To listen to the webcasts, go to wwfm.org. Click on “About Us,” then “Our Programs A-Z,” and then the individual shows, which are listed alphabetically. (“The Lost Chord” appears under the letter T.)

Or if you have the time and the patience to scroll through everything, simply click on “Classical” and then “Webcasts.”

Happiness, knowledge, not in another place but this place, not for another hour but this hour!

Join us in sounding a barbaric yawp. It’s wall-to-wall Whitman, today from 12 to 4 p.m.; “Poetry in Motion” on “Picture Perfect,” Friday evening at 6; and Bernard Herrmann’s “Whitman,” with the PostClassical Ensemble, Saturday night at 7:30, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
