Time is growing short.

Tomorrow marks the final installment of our four-part salute to William Shakespeare on WPRB. Every Thursday morning in April, we have been honoring the Bard with music inspired by his writings, to mark the 400th anniversary of his shuffling off this mortal coil on April 23, 1616 (also the anniversary of his birth, though 52 years earlier).

We have five hours in which to hear any or all of the following: Frank Bridge’s “There is a willow grows aslant a brook,” Ernest Chausson’s “The Tempest,” Cecil Cole’s “Comedy of Errors Overture,” Gabriel Fauré’s “Shylock,” Gerald Finzi’s “Let us Garlands bring,” Florent Schmitt’s “Antony and Cleopatra,” Bedrich Smetana’s “Richard III,” and Johan Wagenaar’s “The Taming of the Shrew Overture,” among others.

‘Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished, tomorrow morning from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. Conscience does make cowards of us all, on Classic Ross Amico.
