    Jewish Music for the High Holy Days

    Coming up in the next hour, it’s “The Chagall Windows,” English composer John McCabe’s luminous, strange and beautiful impressions of the stained glass tableaux located at the synagogue of the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem.

    Also, we’ll hear Philadelphia native Amanda Harberg’s “Elegy” for viola and piano, a work dedicated to one of her teachers, Marina Grin.

    It’s all music by Jewish composers or on Jewish themes for the High Holy Days this morning until 11 ET, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com.

    Sixth Day of Christmas with Composers

    THE SIXTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS

    Classical Discoveries ‘ Marvin Rosen has kindly saved me the trouble of coming up with another fresh post in the middle of an insane work week. Here is a photo of me lounging on the “frat couch” in the studios of WPRB 103.3 FM, during my drop-by on Sunday morning to Marvin’s 25-hour “Viva 21st Century” marathon.

    With me are, left to right, composers Robert Moran (never to be trusted), Susan T. Nelson, and Amanda Harberg. Daniel Dorff is off-camera, probably talking to Marvin.

    The photo was taken by Marvin’s wife, Beata, who wore the loveliest necklace. She’s definitely the power behind the throne, keeping Marvin well-supplied with green tea and energy snacks.

    Good to be on the radio again on a Sunday morning.
