JS Bach's birthday / Good Friday
It's JS Bach's birthday, and Good Friday - we'll hear the beautiful chorus "Er'barme dich" from Bach's St. Matthew Passion.

First day of Spring!
There is a FLOOD WARNING in this morning's musical forecast, as the
bounds of all human rationality are breached and we welcome the new
season with overflowing sentimentality and joy. (Ignore the snowflakes
outside: the calendar says it's springtime!)
Morning Classics
March 19th is St. Joseph's Day, and the date when the swallows
traditionally make their springtime return to the Mission San Juan de
Capistrano. We'll celebrate the occasion with music from the "regular
Joes" (Giuseppes) of classical music in the 8am hour - and plenty of birdsongs, from Respighi,
Haydn and others starting at 9.
