He is best known as the author of “The Three Musketeers” and “The Count of Monte Cristo.” However, Alexandre Dumas churned out historically-inspired prose on all manner of subjects, and he did so by the yard.

This Sunday night on “The Lost Chord,” we present an hour of music inspired by his writings, including rarely-heard incidental music composed for a revival of his play “Caligula,” by Gabriel Fauré; ballet music from an opera, “Ascanio,” taken from a novel featuring Benvenuto Cellini, by Camille Saint-Saëns; and a poetic monologue, “Joan of Arc at the Stake,” by Franz Liszt. We’ll also hear the suite for symphonic band “The Three Musketeers,” by George Wiliam Hespe.

It’s all for one, and one for all! I hope you’ll join me for “The Lost Sword,” this Sunday night at 10:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
