12/07/10 10:00AM By Walter Parker Download MP3
Today we'll listen to Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 4, with it's finale describing a child's vision of heavenly pleasures sung by Renee Fleming.
At noon I'll speak with Gary Moreau, director of the Vermont Choral Union, about their concert of music devoted to the Blessed Virgin this Saturday at the McCarthy Arts Center of St. Michael's College at 7:30.
