Spring needs our help! A good part of the season so far has been cloaked, in the Philadelphia-Princeton area, in temperatures in the 50s and 60s. I’d have no complaints, except for the fact that a month from now, you know it is going to be 90 degrees!

This Thursday morning on WPRB, we’ll stop short of human sacrifice, but we will try to breathe life into the season with music of a vernal inclination. Among possible candidates for the playlist are “Enter Spring” by Frank Bridge, the cantata “The Romance of Spring” by Zdeněk Fibich, “The Myth of Spring” by Lodewijk Mortelmans, “A Spell for Green Corn” by the late Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Joachim Raff’s “Ode to Spring,” and the most thrilling performance of Robert Schumann’s “Spring Symphony” you have never heard.

Failing that, we’ll start locking people in the Wicker Man, tomorrow morning from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. One way or another we’ll be lolling in the daffodils, on Classic Ross Amico.
