Hi! There was a Jazz piece played today (6/21/18) at 7:35 pm that was one of the most beautiful tracks I’ve ever heard. I’m dying to listen to it again but I missed the name of it shortly after and I can’t find a playlist for today. (I’m new here!)
It would be wonderful if some kind person could help me out!

A song was played this tuesday between 2 and 3 pm, entitled “Voyage,” and I’m dying to know who it’s author is. I can’t find it anywhere! Please let us know, thank you!
Yes, that was Francois Couturier’s “Voyage” which was from this cd: https://www.ecmrecords.com/catalogue/143038752876/moderato-cantabile-anja-lechner-francois-couturier
Hello. I heard some very nice music today (6/2/18) by Chopin and Tchaikovsky around 2:00 pm or so. Maybe I’m just missing it, but I don’t see anything by those artists on the playlist (?). Do you know the names of the pieces that were played?
Hello Don, Pianist Simon Trpceski performed Chopin’s “Scherzo No. 4” and the Tchaikovsky piece was the “Festival Coronation March” performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra.
It’s driving me batty — what is the theme music for the Well-Tempered Wireless? I know it’s by Bach, and I know it’s played by Angela Hewitt, and I’m pretty sure I heard Chris say once that it’s a fugue from book 2 of the Well-Tempered Clavier, but for the life of me I can’t find it.
@Alex, We hope you caught Chris’ response to you! If you missed it, you are correct it is the Fugue in G major, BWV 860.
I did hear his response — thank you so much! I listen to WRCJ at work, and one of the delights of my day is hearing that theme music come on at 11 accompanied by Chris’ calming voice. Thanks as always for the wonderful service you provide!
No problem, we’re glad to be here!
Hi Worker B!
What was the harp piece played at about 1:19 ET today Sunday 2/18/18?
It sounded like water. Thanks!
Hi Elizabeth!
That was “La Source” composed by Alphonse Hasselmans and performed by Yolanda Kondonassis on the harp. Here is the cd if you want to take a look:

Chris played something by Thomas Tallis which might have been “O Nata lux de lumine” by some group which might’ve been like “Keefero? The Renaissance Band” Yeah, I can’t remember myself what the heck I quickly wrote down, it was something along those lines. Any help in narrowing this down?
Hello Paul, yes that was Piffaro performing “O nata lux de lumine”. It was from this cd: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Playlist?source=WRCJ&date=201801041500
What was the music played 12/25/2017 between 5:30 and 7:00am about the Twelve days of Christmas with excepts from the 1812 overture, and other orchestra. Is it possible to buy a copy or cd of this piece?
Hello,
At 6:30am we played a version of The Twelve Days of Christmas by the Canadian Brass that featured excerpts from several famous pieces. Might that be it? Here is a link: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Playlist?&source=C24&database=&song_id=269761&label=Philips&catalog=426835&composer=Traditional%20English&work=The%20Twelve%20Days%20of%20Christmas
Good job, Heather Pascoe! Good pacing, clear articulation and enunciation, pleasing modulation, and just enough animation.
why is there still no play list for the 23rd and 24th
Hello David,
Dr. Dave and Chris had Thursday and Friday off for the holiday so we had the Classical 24 folks take over. Classical 24 playlists can always be found here:

About 3 songs ago a lady sang a nice song. Need the name please.
Happy late Thanksgiving. Thanks
What day did Mr Felcyn play a piece that was a piano lesson. It was within the last week about 1:30 -2:00 .
We looked through the playlists around that time and didn’t see anything with that title. We did have Robert Schumann’s “Symphonic Etudes, Op. 13: Nos. 11-12” at 3pm last week though. (Etudes means studies)Might that be it?
Was the History of Music chronology that Chris Felcyn did on Sept 22?
Hi Caroline, this link will take you to the page where you can listen to our 5 hour audio journey: http://www.wrcjfm.org/specials/
Yesterday, September 19, you played “Saint James Infirmary” around 3 p.m. Would you please provide the CD and artist information? I can’t find it and the link on your site is inaccurate. Thank you in advance. Enjoy your day.
Hello Pamela, that was from the cd “Funeralissimo” on the Genuin label, spine number 17486. It featured violinist Matthias Well.
Yesterday at about 5:30 PM you played a beautiful Ave Maria by Vladimir Vavilov. Please tell me who sang the Ave Maria and where I might find a recording of the performance. It is not listed in the playlist for yesterday.
Hello Mike, that piece featured mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca. Here is a link to the cd: http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/us/cat/4792071
Thank you!
Musical Request: Symphony No. 1 – Sir William Walton – GREAT piece! Keep up the tremendous work WRCJ is doing!
P.S. Hi Dr. David Orrin Wagner the III sir !Haven’t seen you in a long time but listen to you all the time. I miss the days when you and me and John Hopkins would go to Carl’s. Great times!
Sincerely, (PLEASE MAKE SURE DAVE SEES THE P.S.)
David Jennings
Hello David,
We passed your request along to our Music Director and we will send your note to Dr. Dave. Thanks for the nice words.
The Telemannpiece you just played did not say what instrument was being played
Could you please let me know if the instrument was an oboe , English horn or a soprano sax. .?. There is a bet riding here.
Hello Nora,
The solo on that piece was a baroque oboe (played by Paul Goodwin). We hope that wins you some money!
