Wednesday afternoon in the 3 o'clock hour, Foley will feature music reflecting one of our country's most beautiful and beguiling cities, San Francisco. This will include a work by Meredith Willson, who, 25 years before writing one of the most beloved of Broadway musicals with The Music Man, would produce his Symphony No. 1 in F minor: A Symphony of San Francisco—a work he dedicated it to the "spiritual personality that is San Francisco" and that reflected the city's industrial growth and the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. That will be paired with some of Bernard Herrmann's masterful music for the Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo—the legendary director's twisted, poetic love letter to San Francisco—in a stunning arrangement for cello and piano by Christopher O'Riley, who will perform with Matt Haimovitz on the cello.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 until 4 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
