  1. Good morning, everyone. Peace be with you this day.
  2. @tom_godell WTJU has an extensive classical LP library (and so does the UVa McIntyre Dept. of Music). I'll see what I can find.
  3. @tom_godell No I haven't I'll have to track that down.
  4. @tom_godell If I have many more, I won't be able to get out of the Tavener.
  5. @tom_godell Doh! I should have thought of that.
  6. Enjoying Joachim Raff's Piano Concerto in C Minor youtu.be/BNtfixe0a24 even though I won't be able to recall a single not once its over.

  8. @tom_godell Maybe some early music that features fauxbourbon
  9. @tom_godell I think I'll just stick to blue ribbon compositions for the rest of the day.
  10. Listening to the 1882 Piano Concerto in E-flat, Op. 82 by Paul Pabst. It's a light, frothy work that's less filling! ht.ly/biAMQ

  12. @tom_godell @JenniferStumm @TobyDeller @stephenupshaw And remember Ralph Vaughan Williams really liked the viola. #moreviolamusic
  13. @villa_lobos Great idea -it could be both performers and composers. Also check out @Tom_Godell 's idea. #ClassicsaDay #CGaDay #SovietaDay
  14. @tom_godell Maybe shorten to #BdayaDay? June also has Tubin, Gounod, Chavez, Ysaye, R. Strauss, Glinka #ClassicsaDay #SovietaDay
  15. #ClassicsaDay #SovietaDay Any thoughts for June? Birthdays include Elgar, Schumann, Nielsen, Grieg, Stravinsky, Offenbach, Bernard Herrmann
  16. @tom_godell I won't -- I promise. Let's just keep talking about music...
  17. #SovietaDay Anatoly Alexandrov: Song of the Ukraine
  18. @tom_godell WTJU isn't an NPR (or as some volunteers call it, the Great Satan) affiliate. We used to get stuff from PRI, though.
  19. @tom_godell I've asked about it -- haven't gotten an answer yet. But if you've had a good experience with your station app, I'll ask again.
