Autumn begins here on the East Coast at 10:21 tomorrow morning. The only thing is, somebody forgot to tell the weather.
Since it’s supposed to be in the mid-to-upper 80s until the weekend, and since the leaves have scarcely even started to change, I figured I’d hold off on a no-holds-barred celebration of the season, if you don’t mind, for perhaps a month.
That said, we can’t just let the equinox squeak by without some notice. Therefore, tomorrow morning on WPRB, I will honor my favorite season surreptitiously, careful also to praise its deserving brothers and sisters.
To this end, I’ll be playing complete cycles of musical evocations of ALL the seasons – spring, summer, fall, and winter – by composers such as Edward German, Albert Roussel, Gian Francesco Malipiero, Lars-Erik Larsson, and Morton Gould, among others.
Come prepared with your all-weather gear, from 6 to 11 EDT, to WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. To everything there is a season, on Classic Ross Amico.
