Bach Reimagined Electric Metal & More

For those about to Bach, we salute you!

One of the most remarkable qualities of Bach’s music is that it is so adaptable to so many different instruments and idioms. In fact, we are just now listening to recordings of Jacques Loussier and the Swingle Singers.

Here’s a little something that’s both electric and electrifying – Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, performed by an electric guitar orchestra.

Heavy metal!

Just over 100 contributions to go to wrap up the “Bach 500.” Your pledge IN ANY AMOUNT helps us climb ever closer to that $17,000 Bach Pot. Call now at 1-888-232-1212 or click on “donate” at wwfm.org. Let’s put this baby to bed!

Bach on, dudes, and thank you for your support of WWFM – The Classical Network.

Bach 500 Help WWFM Unlock $17K Now

Help us to get our affairs in order. Be one of the last of the “Bach 500.” 500 listener contributions IN ANY AMOUNT will unlock the Bach Pot. That means NOW $17,000 in challenge money for the station, which will enable us to celebrate the genius of Johann Sebastian Bach without fundraising interruptions. We’ve got only about 130 contributions to go at this point. It’s hero time! Click on “donate” at wwfm.org, or call 1-888-232-1212.

Again, it doesn’t matter how much you give in order to be counted toward the 500. All that matters is that we reach 500 contributions. Once that happens, everything will be in its proper place. Restore order to our existence!

I’ll be on the air today from 3 to 5:00 p.m. EDT. Less talk and more music, that’s my motto. Help make it happen. Thank you for your support of WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org!

WWFM Bach 500 Campaign Nears Goal Donate Now

It’s a time of day when you’re probably thinking more about frittatas than cantatas. But before you head out for lunch, please take just a moment to provide a little nourishment for WWFM.

We are within the final 200 donations of our Bach 500 campaign. If you have not contributed, or if you are in a position to make an additional gift, your donation now will count toward the 500 we need in order to unlock the scrumptious Bach Pot.

YOU decide the amount that is right for you. It doesn’t matter how much you give; it just matters that we reach the quota: 500 contributions is the combination that will unlock our Bach Pot, which contains over $14,000. Once that happens, this campaign is at an end, and the Bach jukebox kicks into overdrive for the rest of the afternoon. Click on “donate” at wwfm.org, or call us at 1-888-232-1212.

You feed the body, and we’ll take care of the spirit – with the assistance of Johann Sebastian Bach, on his birthday. Enjoy a Bach’s lunch on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org. Thank you for your generous support!

Happy Birthday Bach Donate to Classical Network

The day is upon us! Happy birthday, Bach!

Before you attempt a Google search today, you had better resign yourself to a marked dip in productivity. This time-sucking, interactive Google Doodle gives a crash course in music theory and employs “artificial intelligence” to harmonize your own instant masterpiece (which you can then share with your friends).

Now if only it would do the additional work of transforming my melody into a fugue!

If you can postpone the instant gratification of A.I. for just a moment, please don’t forget, we at The Classical Network are working hard to wrap up our “Bach 500” campaign.

As soon as we reach 500 listener contributions – contributions IN ANY AMOUNT, mind you; you set the level – we unlock this year’s Bach Pot, which means over $14,000 in challenge money to the station. Then it’s off to our own little Café Zimmerman, metaphorically speaking, for a celebratory marathon of Bach’s music, free from fundraising interruptions.

Can you help us get there ASAP? Become one of the 500 now at our website, by clicking on “donate,” at wwfm.org, or call us (after 9 a.m. EDT) at 1-888-232-1212. We are looking forward to making this goal and giving free rein to all the sonatas, concertos, suites, and cantatas we can lay our hands on.

There was nothing artificial about Bach’s intelligence, or his humanity. Thank you for your continued support of great music on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org!
