Thanks to you Classical Music thrives!
|

|
Our thanks go out to each and every one of you who called in or pledged online during our Spring Membership Drive. One of the greatest things about public radio is that it's PEOPLE that make the choice of what they want to hear on their airwaves. If you didn't want classical music on WBJC, you wouldn't support it... that's how public radio works. But YOU DO want classical music, and your support ensures that it will be here for another year!
If you missed the Spring Drive, it's never too late to support classical music. If it’s time to renew your membership, or if you simply want to give an additional gift, please support WBJC now! You can charge your pledge on our secure website at
www.wbjc.com
. However, if you’re more comfortable with our traditional method, you can call our Membership Office at 410-580-5800 and we will be happy to take your pledge.

Reed Hessler writes: "Over the past few years, a WBJC listener has emailed me questions about classical music. Three years ago, he asked why there was a rivalry between fans of Brahms and Wagner. A year ago, he asked why Beethoven sounds different than Richard Strauss. Both times, I told him that I would have to give him a simple answer to a complicated question, but I also felt that our conversation could be shared in our WBJC newsletter.
The Brahms versus Wagner discussion appeared a couple of years ago. Here is the Beethoven and Richard Strauss discussion. The listener’s name will remain anonymous to respect his privacy.
Mr. Hessler,
Strauss’ Symphonic Poem is so different from Beethoven’s symphonies. To me (I have no education in classical music, as I’m sure you have gathered) Strauss work is without “order” and is therefore less enjoyable. What is that quality referred to in musical terms (lacking in order, the music seems “all over the place”).
Also is Strauss considered classical, romantic or another designation?

Before you head to the dealer, plan on donating your older vehicle to WBJC. Usually the value you'll receive for your donation will meet or exceed what the dealer will offer you as a trade-in and is fully tax-deductible.
