On this week's program, following music both by and in memory of Antonin Dvořák, (the anniversary of whose death was May 1), we will, in the final, 11 o'clock, hour, showcase two giants of the organ—both of whom were born on May 3rd—Virgil Fox (b. May 3, 1912) and Marcel Dupré (b. May 3, 1886). Our tribute will include Virgil Fox performing some of his own musical favorites on the famed Aeolian Skinner organ at The Riverside Church in New York City where he was organist for many years, and, including honor of the 140th anniversary of the birth of French organist and composer Marcel Dupré, we'll hear his Symphony for Organ and Orchestra in G minor, with Michael Murray on the organ.
You can hear Sunday on Blue Lake with Foley Schuler every Sunday morning from 9 until noon on Blue Lake Public Radio.
