Staying home for Easter this year. Yay!
That’s right. It’s Fred Astaire and Biblical epics for me.
Happy Easter!

Easter Evening Ryelandt Symphony on WWFM
Soon all the guests will have left, and all the dishes will be cleaned. Time to pop a couple of malted eggs, or to pour yourself a malt scotch, and to wrap up your Easter in inspiring fashion with the Symphony No. 4 by the devout Belgian composer Joseph Ryelandt.
Ryelandt’s symphony, completed on the very eve of World War I, concludes with a triumphant statement of the Credo from the Catholic Mass. Then stick around for a Credo setting by the Franco-Flemish composer, of some four centuries earlier, Josquin des Prez.
Enjoy these two spiritual discoveries rooted in the Mass, this Sunday evening at 10:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.

Easter Sunday Classical Music on WPRB
Tomorrow being the day of chocolate bunnies and Peeps, my colleague Bob Pollack has generously agreed to fill in for me on WPRB. Bob, host of “Morning Classical” (now heard on Monday mornings from 6 to 9), will introduce Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony, Bach’s Cantata No. 4 “Christ lag in Totesbanden,” Rachmaninoff’s “Vespers,” and some broader tributes to spring. Remember, it is Vinyl Week on WPRB, so it really depends on what’s on the shelves (Beethoven’s “Spring” Sonata, anyone?).
Wake up and smell the daffodils, tomorrow morning, Easter Sunday, from 7 to 10 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. Thanks, Bob, for your music of hope and renewal!
