A Musical Offering
Tuesdays from 11 am - 1 pm
on WFCF 88.5, St. Augustine
October 6, 2026
Today we celebrate the birthdays of 4 composers: Verdi, Saint-Saëns, Szymanowski and Rautavaara. That's a lot of candles, Costco cake, prosecco and pony rides.
We will also listen to some tracks from 16 year old NKTB pianist Justus Eichhorn. Is he as good as Alfred Vattsisnaym or Ginger Yu-no-hu? Tune in and find out (TIFO). We could all do with a few more acronyms, right? IYKYN. SMH. LOL.
Finally, a sampling of some recordings by iconic cellist Yo-Yo Ma who turns 71 on October 7th. I used to babysit his grandparents. Where does the time go?
Non t'accostar all'urna - text
Calme des nuits
Calm of the night, cool of the evening,
Vast shimmering of the spheres,
Great silence of black vaults
Deep thinkers delight in you.
The bright sun, merriment,
And noise amuse the more frivolous;
Only the poet is possessed
By the love of quiet things.
