When you start your Friday with Vivace,
as we hope you always do, it sometimes means hearing music by rarely-heard
composers, and that will certainly be true this week. We'll start with a symphony by Carl
Loewe and a flute quintet by Andreas Romberg. At 7 o'clock, we have
a delightful harpsichord concerto by Simon Mayr and a piano fantasy
by Franz Schubert ...
... and we'll find out if you know which famous composer wrote the music for the US Marine Corps hymn as we celebrate the 216th anniversary of the US Marine Band, which was established by an act of Congress on July 11, 1798.
After 8 o'clock, we'll have music of
Hummel and Mozart and we'll celebrate the 153rd birthday of Russian composer Anton Arensky.
As ever, I hope you'll join me for
Vivace, Friday morning 6-9 am, here on WTJU-Charlottesville.
