Beethoven regarded him as the greatest living composer of his era, and yet by the end of the 19th Century Luigi Cherubini and his music, would, inexplicably be all but fogotten (a resurgance of interest in his work, has been growing in more recent years, however). Monday afternoon we'll remember Cherubini on the 266th the anniversary of his birth with a performance of his celebrated choral masterpiece, the Requiem in C Minor.
As Monday also marks the anniversary of the tragic death of Anton Webern, we'll be hearing music in his memory as well—and more.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 unti 4 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
