Today is the anniversary of the birth of one-hit wonder Carl Orff. We’ll hear something a little different than his oft-performed “Canina Burrito.” Tune in to enjoy his “Kleines Konzert,” a suite for wind instruments based on Renaissance lute music. If you’re a Respighi aficionado, you’ll recognize at least one of the movements, which is based on a melody which also appears in one of the “Ancient Airs and Dances” suites.
We’ll also mark the birthdays today of Polish virtuoso Henryk Wieniawski, Czech composer Iša Krejčí, and American banjoist Béla Fleck.
I’ll have mine with extra jalapeños, please, from 4 to 7 p.m. EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
