This Sunday night on “The Lost Chord,” it’s a mulligan stew of music by Irish composers and/or on Irish themes, with works by native composers Philip Hammond, John Larchet and A.J. Potter, and Irishmen-for-a-day Arnold Bax, John Foulds, and Percy Grainger, including a roistering set of variations on “The Wild Colonial Boy.”
It’s probably a lot to expect you to join me for these “Presentiments of St. Patrick,” tonight at 10 EDT – everyone is going to be a bit hagged out from the weekend, between the pre-St. Patrick’s parties, Pi Day, and a short night springing forward into Daylight Saving Time – but do remember that the show will be repeated Wednesday evening at 6 (St. Patrick’s Eve), then archived as a webcast at wwfm.org.
Sláinte!
