When you’ve got a nasty cold, all you want to do is come home. It’s rather fortunate for me, then, that tonight will be WWFM’s annual broadcast of Westminster Choir’s Homecoming Concert. The program will be heard live, coming your way from Princeton University’s Richardson Auditorium, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Joe Miller will lead the world-renowned Westminster Choir of Westminster Choir College in works of Ēriks Ešenvalds, Ted Hearne, Dan Messé, and Claudio Monteverdi, as well as a selection of traditional American folk songs and spirituals. I’ll be sticking around a little later than usual to man the board and to provide the fill music, following the concert, up until 10 p.m.

You can listen to a preview of the program with Joe Miller and founding “Sounds Choral” host Marjorie Herman here:

Of course, I’ll be spinning the platters, as usual, beginning this afternoon at 4 p.m. I hope you’ll join me as I observe the birthday anniversaries of Johann Ernst Bach, Frederic Lamond, Vittorio Rieti, Arthur Rubinstein, Sir John Tavener, and Gregor Joseph Werner.

And I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if we also hear music by William Alwyn, Johann Sebastian Bach, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Franz Liszt, Ottorino Respighi, and Camille Saint-Saëns, with a couple of send-offs to organist Jean Guillou and composer Michel Legrand, both of whom died over the weekend.

I’ll be sure to have plenty of tissues and lozenges on hand. I invite you to come home to great music, from 4 to 10 p.m. EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.

Owl also do the “fill” following the concert, until 10 p.m. Sure, it will be a long shift, but all in all, I’d say it will be worthy of your interest.
