To frame the program today I've decided to use a process favored by some twentieth- and twenty-first century composers - adding the element of chance. I've selected works at random from the HPR library and I'm going to choose which pieces and in what order I play them by chance, with one caveat - as I reach the end of each hour, I need to choose a work that can finish before I get to the station ID and news. To that end, I have a separate pile of CDs with short tracks. So yes, it's kind of a math problem! There will still be a playlist posted online - I'll just have to add each piece as I go. I've pulled the CDs, so I know that you MAY hear music by some of these composers - Korngold, Kern, Harrison, Bach, Myaskovsky, Porter, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Schubert, Gershwin, Barber, Satie - and more. Join me!
