Everyone begins the new year with hopes for positive change. At the risk of seeming contrarian, this Sunday night on “The Lost Chord,” we acknowledge that the more things change, the more they stay the same – as composers of the past 100 years look back to the 18th century.
We’ll hear somewhat contemporary works indebted to earlier times, including Lord Berners’ “Fugue for Orchestra,” Norman Dello Joio’s “Salute to Scarlatti,” Ilja Hurník’s “Sonata da camera,” John Corigliano’s “Chaconne” from “The Red Violin,” and Percy Grainger’s “Blithe Bells,” after Johann Sebastian Bach.
Raise a toast, with new wine in old bottles, on “Déjà Vu All Over Again,” this Sunday night at 10:00 EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
