This week on “Sweetness and Light,” celebrate the season of the cricket and the katydid! Put your legs together for an hour of insect “song.”

We’ll enjoy works by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Paul Lincke, Ernest Bucalossi, Dmitri Shostakovich, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Frank Loesser, Billy Mayerl, Frederic Cowen, and Fred L. Moreland.

Tune in for a wasps’ overture, a glow worm’s idyll, a grasshopper’s dance, a gadfly’s romance, a bumble-bee’s flight, an inchworm’s measure, some insect oddities, a butterfly’s ball, and a doodle-bugs’ parade.

We’ll be buzzing from the start on “Sweetness and Light,” this Saturday morning at 11:00 EDT/8:00 PDT, exclusively on KWAX, the radio station of the University of Oregon!
