VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
The Bike Shop
Mondays 6 to 9 AM
Billy Higgins started at WWUH in 2019. After many years as a regular listener to the station, during “Celtic Aires” one Tuesday morning, he heard Christine mention there was an opening for a host in the All Night Show timeslot before her show. That was when the concept for “THE BIKE SHOP” began.
Billy has appreciated public radio in that it allows for a diversity of musical genres and styles and doesn't rely on corporate propaganda to keep it running and enjoys searching for and playing awesome artists you won’t hear on commercial stations.
Now in his current time slot, “THE BIKE SHOP” can be heard every Monday morning 6am-9am. You can kick off your week with a mix of current and original Red Dirt artists, along with Honky Tonk, Americana and Roots music. One of his biggest thrills has been to fill in on many his favorite programs he has listened to over the years. He is excited to have some local artists lined up for on-air interviews in the near future.
A lifelong Enfield resident, he and his wife Kathy have 2 adult children and 5 dogs. Yep 5. During his free time, he attends live music shows, is an avid Mountain Biker, and raises chickens and Honeybees.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Morning Jazz
Thursdays 9 AM to Noon
Peter Levine (a.k.a. Pedro) spent time as a teenager hanging around a small AM/FM classical radio station in Atlanta, Georgia. He acquired his love and appreciation for jazz and classical (especially Chamber)music from his parents who always had music playing, and was involved in playing music(drums) throughout high school and college. While in college, he had a classical music program on the Georgia State College station and was involved with starting the student station at his alma mater, Georgia Tech.
His involvement with radio rekindled when he became a programmer at a station in Gt.Barrington, MA, and later as a volunteer fill-in for WWUH in 2017.He became the host of Thursday Morning Jazz when Mark Channon left in 2019. His musical choices are pretty straight ahead; swing, dixie, hard bop, bop, modern and some third stream, all of which he played as a drummer while in college.
“I’ve been an avid public radio listener since 1971, and find commercial radio boring, repetitive and unimaginative. Public radio is interesting, engaging, stimulating and...commercial free!”
He and his wife Ellen moved to Sandisfield, MA in 2000 from northern New Jersey and live in an historic stone house in the Berkshires,where music is usually playing, and Peter is trying to learn the vibraphone. They are regular attendees of chamber music recitals in the Berkshires and Connecticut and also enjoy the jazz performances in and around the Berkshires.

Boomer's Paradise
Monday's 1-4 PM with your host, The Turtle Man
Seasonally, October is that transitional month where the weather can still be nice so on Boomers Paradise we'll celebrate with a diverse menu of music.
Starting out we continue to look back to the year 1972 and hear tracks from albums released in October. We'll also factor in some weather with songs that have weather names in the song title and to also continue hearing the influence of The Byrds on other artists.
Next, we'll present songs with numbers in the song title. Following that, a salute to love with a selection I call "Nordic Love Songs" along with songs with "music" or "song" in the song title and then a selection of songs from artists from Australia and New Zealand.
We then move onto to some tasty rock and roll as a birthday salute to a family member and end the month with a load of quarters in my rock and roll jukebox.
You can hear all of this each October Monday from 1-4PM on Boomers Paradise with your host, The Turtle Man on WWUH 91.3 FM and wwuh.org.
Tune in on the radio (91.3 FM) or streaming online at wwuh.org.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE OPERA
your "lyric theater" program
with Keith Brown
Programming for the month of October 2022
-
SUNDAY OCTOBER 2ND M. Haydn, Endimione Johann Michael Haydn (1737-1806) was the younger brother of the famous Franz Joseph Haydn. Like "Papa" Haydn, Michael Haydn wrote symphonies (forty or more), much church music,etc. He also wrote a small amount of lyric theater music. From 1763 onwards he resided in Salzburg, where he was well acquainted with young Wolfgang and the rest of the Mozart family. It was for the Benedictine academy in Salzburg that he composed a German language Singspiel, Die Wahrheit der Natur (1769). The world premiere recording of "The Truth of Nature" went over the air on this program on Sunday, May 12, 2019. He wrote only one other similar serenata or mini-opera: Endimione, this one performed at the behest of Salzburg's prince-archbishop for festivities following the consecration of Salzburg Cathedral in 1776. Endimione has an Italian language libretto by Pietro Metastasio, the most important librettist of the Age of Enlightenment. It was set to music by many of Michael Haydn's contemporaries. Mozart owned a copy of the score of the Haydn setting. The music compares very favorably with Mozart's contemporaneous work Il Re Pastore (K. 208). Endimione,similarly, is a pastoral-type theatrical entertainment, not a heavyweight Italian opera seria. The same performing forces that gave you Die Wahrheit der Natur have concentrated their talents yet again upon Endimione. Wolfgang Brunner leads the period instrumentalists of the Salzburger Hofmusik, with four vocal soloists. A 2021 CD release from the German cpo record label. "This charming 'serenata' came as a complete surprise and has raised my opinion of and interest in Haydn's little brother," so writes reviewer James H. North (Fanfare, March/April, 2022 issue).
-
SUNDAY OCTOBER 9TH Mayr, L'amor conjugale, highlights from Beethoven's Fidelio and Cherubini's Lodoiska It was a German composer, Johann Simon Mayr, who brought Italian opera from the eighteenth into the nineteenth century. Born in Bavaria in 1763, Mayr was a little younger than the Austrian Mozart and a little older than the Rhineland native Beethoven. He long outlived both of them, passing away in 1845. His operas continued to be performed in Italy and elsewhere in Europe up to circa 1850. For a while his works rivaled in popularity those of Rossini. It's therefore hard to believe how Mayr's operas in later times could be so completely forgotten. Now in the twenty first century a conductor from Bavaria, Franz Hauk, has championed the cause of Mayr's music. He had already recorded several of Mayr's sacred oratorios, released on CD through the Naxos label. In 2017 Naxos came out with Hauk's recorded interpretation of Mayr's Telemaco (1797), the world premiere recording of that work, the first one of the Naxos series I would broadcast, on Sunday, October 10th of the same year. Broadcasts of others in this series soon followed. Mayr wrote at least 75 operas in his long career and mastered all the variants of the genre: opera buffa (Amore non soffre opposizione from 1810, Sunday, August 5, 2018) and opera semiseria (Le due duchesse,dating to1814, Sunday, October 10, 2021). Both of these again are world premieres on Naxos discs, as well as Saffo (1794), his first opera, composed in Gluckian style, again with Hauk conducting, aired most recently on Sunday, May 22, 2022. Another popular subgenre was the heroic "rescue opera," of which Beethoven's Fidelio (1812) is the sole remaining representative surviving in the repertoire into modern times. Mayr's L'amor conjugale (1805) predates the final version of Beerthoven's one and only operatic work. Like Fidelio,Mayr's "Conjugal Love" presents the story of the faithful wife, here named Zeliska, who seeks to free her innocent husband from prison and stop his execution. Like Leonora in Beethoven's opera, she disguises herself as a boy and inveigles employment as the jailor's assistant. This Italian language rescue opera was revived onstage at the 2004 Rossini in Wildbad Festival, where it was recorded live in performance in co-production with Southwest German Radio, and issued on two Naxos compact discs in 2008. This time it's Christopher Franklin directing the Wurttemberg Philharmonic Orchestra with a six-member singing cast. You listeners will have the opportunity to compare Mayr's rescue opera with excerpts from recordings of Beethoven's heroic Singspiel and a French language comedie heroique, Luigi Cherubini's Lodoiska (1791), which was aired twice before in its entirety on this program.
-
SUNDAY OCTOBER 16TH Schubert, Alfonso und Estrella At various points in the course of his brief career writing music Franz Schubert attempted to make a name for himself as an opera composer. Besides the well known incidental music for Rosamunde (1823), Schubert composed at least nine complete operas, three more in substantial fragments, and three more in rough sketch. Some were indeed performed, but none with much success. The most grand of his theatrical projects was Fierrabras (1823), a heroic-romantic opera in German language heard on this program in its world premiere recording for Deutsche Grammophon on Sunday, March 21,1992. Also grand in design was the predecessor of Fierrabras, composed in 1821: Alfonso und Estrella. Neither of these two operas saw the stage in Schubert's lifetime. Only the overture to Alfonso reappeared in the Rosamunde music. Alfonso und Estrella got at least as far as consideration for staging in Vienna, Berlin and Graz. Alfonso und Estrella was recorded musically complete for EMI in 1978. EMI released it originally on LP's. It was picked up by the German label Berlin Classics for reissue on compact disc in 1994. The cast in this studio recording could not be bettered. All of the big names in German opera in the 1970's took part: Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Edith Mathis, Hermann Prey, Theo Adam, Eberhard Buechner. Otmar Suitner conducted the orchestra of the Staatskapelle Berlin and the chorus of Radio Berlin. As for the music of Alfonso und Estrella, it is as melodically beautiful as any of the Schubert Lieder, and as dramatic in its orchestral scoring as any of his symphonies. Alfonso und Estrella I have broadcast twice before on Sundays in 1997 and 2016. It's a personal favorite of mine I'm pleased to present a third time this Sunday.
-
SUNDAY OCTOBER 23RD Verdi, Un Ballo en Maschera It's the season for costume parties, so I figure this is the appropriate moment for listening to Giuseppe Verdi's Un Ballo en Maschera ("A Masked Ball," 1859), a work of international standard repertoire that I have broadcast three times before going way back to Sunday, April 16, 1989. Un Ballo en Maschera has been frequently recorded. Our WWUH classical music record library has several historic recordings of "A Masked Ball' on LP. In 1989,and again in 2010, I employed the Angel/EMI three-LP reissue from 1986, with Riccardo Muti conducting at Covent Garden. Many great singers of the second half of the twentieth century essayed roles in this warhorse of the repertoire. The 1975 Covent Garden production of "Masked Ball" starred tenor Placido Domingo and mezzo Fiorenza Cossotto. On Sunday, November 6, 2011 came an even more historic recording of Un Ballo made live at the Met in mono sound in 1955, with Dimitri Mitropoulos conducting. Soprano Zinka Milanov and other notables of the era were in the cast (Sony Classical CD's). This Sunday we reach back to 1967 for an early stereo recording made in the RCA Italiana Studios in Rome. Erich Leinstorf directs a cast drawn mostly from the Metropolitan Opera and starring soprano Leontyne Price and tenor Carlo Bergonzi (three RCA Red Seal LP's). Verdi's Un Ballo en Maschera suffers from a mutilated libretto. The censors in Naples forced some ridiculous changes to it. "A Masked Ball" should have been set in Sweden in the year 1791 when the Swedish monarch Gustavus III was assassinated at a costume ball. To please the censors the setting was shifted to New England- to Boston, to be exact. Curiously, there's an element of humor in this opera that's absent in so many other of Verdi's works.
-
SUNDAY OCTOBER 30TH Hammill, The Fall of the House of Usher, Moran,The Dracula Diary For Halloweentide programming this year I will again feature two operatic chillers by progressive figures in the music world at the end of the twentieth century. I last aired these recordings back-to-back on Sunday, October 27, 1996. Lovers of progressive rock will remember the name Peter Hammill (b. 1948), the founder of the British prog rock band Van der Graf Generator. He is not the only one to have written an opera based on Edgar Allen Poe's short story The Fall of the House of Usher. Philip Glass gave the same subject his own minimalist musical treatment in 1988. In Hammill's opera Andy Bell, lead vocalist with the synthipop group Erasure, is heard as Montressor, and punk rock singer Lena Lovich portrays Madelaine Usher. Hammill himself sings the role of her brother Roderick. Some Bizarre, Ltd. of the UK released The Fall of the House of Usher in 1991 on a single silver disc.
- Topping that first feature in sheer operatic horror is The Dracula Diary (1994) by American composer Robert Moran (b. 1937), to a libretto by James Skofield, who turned his own vampire story, drawing upon traditional vampire lore, into a shadowy baroque theater work. The Dracula Diary is styled "an opera macabre" set in eighteenth century Italy, in which the primary vampire Angela is a charismatic diva. She has turned the entire opera company, from the leading tenor on down, into fellow vampires through drinking their blood. The impressario is Angela's last victim. Moran and Skofield crafted their macabre chamber opera for the Houston Opera Studio of Houston Grand Opera. It was recorded live in performance for release on a single CD by Catalyst, a division of BMG Classics.
