Hail! Bright Cecilia, hail!
November 22 is the feast day of Saint Cecilia – the patron saint of music.
Join me this afternoon at 4:00 on The Classical Network, as we celebrate with musical tributes by William Boyce, Benjamin Britten, Anthony Collins, Charles Gounod, George Frideric Handel, Henry Purcell, Joaquin Rodrigo, and Alessandro Scarlatti. We’ll also hear the “Serenade to Music” by Ralph Vaughan Williams and “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra,” narrated by Sean Connery.
At 6:00, look ahead to Thanksgiving on “Picture Perfect,” with selections from “Friendly Persuasion” (Dimitri Tiomkin), “Our Town” (Aaron Copland), “Plymouth Adventure” (Miklós Rózsa), and the building-the-barn sequence from “Witness” (Maurice Jarre).
There’s always plenty to be thankful for, musically speaking, from 4 to 7 p.m. EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
