‘Tis the last rose of summer…
The Autumn Equinox will transpire tomorrow morning at 10:21 EDT. Summer is dictating its last will and testament. Join me this afternoon to hear music by Felix Mendelssohn (his “Fantasy on ‘The Last Rose of Summer’”) and Wilhelm Stenhammar (his cycle of piano pieces, “Late-Summer Nights”).
We’ll also honor Gustav Holst (1874-1934) on the anniversary of his birth. So get ready for plenty of English folksong, beside.
We’ll bid adieu to the season, even as the weather continues to be obstinate, from 4 to 7 p.m., on WWFM – The Classical Network and at wwfm.org.
