Gather around the maypole and celebrate May Day this afternoon on Blue Lake Public Radio, as Foley Schuler presents music evoking several different celebrations of this festival of ancient origins and usually marking the beginning of summer—including
the darker counterpart of the holiday, Walpurgisnacht, when witches and various spirits were said to gather.
You can hear Foley Schuler's classical music selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 until 5 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
