I have a stack of my own holiday music CDs waiting to be played, but WBJC in Baltimore apparently has an endless supply of Christmas music that's been holding my interest during the season. Some pieces are familiar from previous years -- Addinsell's score for the old Alastair Sim version of "A Christmas Carol" and excerpts from classic Christmas oratorios, for instance. Occasional selections from a recording by Ormandy and Philadelphia forces have special sentimental significance for me, but I'll withhold details and share with you in conversation, if you're interested. This year, one that caught my ear which I hadn't heard before was Henry Doktorski's Suite on Four Polish Carols for accordion and strings, very engaging and ingenious.
For a break in holiday music, the occasional non-holiday classical work is also a feature in the station's programming at this time of year.
Season's Greetings to all, and all the best to the WBJC announcers who are spinning the CDs at the station during the holiday!
WBJC 91.5 FM's web site is here. They also broadcast on the web. I tried it on a computer in North Carolina once, and it really works.
