Meet Your Host: Bruce Huffine

How long have you been an announcer at WCPE, and what attracted you to TheClassicalStation? I started announcing in April of 2015. We moved from New Jersey to the

Wake Forest area in 2013, and there was a radio tower behind us. I explored who it was and immediately volunteered to be an announcer.How did you get involved in broadcasting? I had a jazz program while attending University of Southern California in the 1960s and always enjoyed requests (by phone or mail back then) as you had valuable feedback from your audience.What is your favorite genre of music? Who are some of your favorite composers and artists? You name it; almost all genres work for me. So you get anything from Dave Brubeck to Chick Corea in jazz. In Classical, I’ve recently discovered Max Reger, a set of Classical-style piano works by Billy Joel, and John Rutter. There are always more composers and styles to discover in Classical music.Do you have a background in music performance? I was trained in Classical piano, branched out into other genres, and participated in numerous competitions. The same thing holds true with clarinet in both marching and symphonic band.What concerts stand out in your memory? I’m giving away my age, but the best were Jorge Bolet in a solo performance in the 1950s, Itzhak Perlman, and Chick Corea.Is there anything else your listeners might enjoy knowing about you? I guess because of my propensity to talk, I am a lector at our church and a project manager telling a lot of people what to do at work, and I enjoy talking endlessly to our grandchildren.

Deborah S. ProctorGeneral Manager

What a ride!You came through for WCPE and Great Classical Music!Everyone pitched in, from longstanding local listeners to new-found friends across the nation. Let me give you a heartfelt “thank you” for helping us end 2016 almost in bal-ance. The spring membership drive will start in March. We’ll keep it short and interest-ing—with all the good music you expect. We’ll have an open-ended goal and new thank-you gifts that I think you’ll like. With the combined support of both longstand-ing and newfound listeners, there is a good chance we can catch up with what we need to give us a winning place for this new year! Consider offering an Angel Challenge, a $250-plus matching incentive announced on the air at the beginning of the drive. They are effective at encouraging new listeners to make their first pledges, because they double the value of the new member’s donation. You can also make your donation at a $500 or even $1,000 level. Also, consider becoming a sustaining member. Many members have decided to make smaller donations auto-matically with their credit card every month or quarter.Be an ambassador for WCPE! Whenever you get the chance, introduce others to TheClassicalStation! If you hear of a station that drops Classical music, get the word out about WCPE to your local newspapers and TV stations. Your local public radio station

can use our signal without charge. It is our goal to share this music with as many as pos-sible, so make sure they know we offer blan-ket permission for any system to rebroadcast us. A copy is posted on our Web site.Additionally, we’re available on the Internet in many streaming formats. Facts are at theclassicalstation.org under the Listen links and even at our Wikipedia page.

that month, Earth Day, World Health Day, and, of course, April Fools’ Day.

Join me for our April edition of Renaissance Fare on Monday, April 10, at 7:00 p.m.In the month of May we’ll highlight some of the joyful music of the spring! The merry month of May has been celebrated for centuries. This time of music, dancing, and thoughts of love was celebrated in the music of the Renaissance.

wcpe in the community lately we’ve readA Gentle Donation Yields Big Results Grant Application Period Ends March 31By Jeanne E. Fredriksen “If you try to suppress the arts, then you’re suppressing the deepest dreams and aspira-tions of a people.”—Barack Obama, May 25, 2016As an expression of WCPE’s mission, the WCPE Education Fund provides resources for nonprofit organizations that increase access to Classical music education within the community. Since the Education Fund began in 2010, nearly $50,000 in grant monies has been awarded to a total of twenty organizations in the Triangle and as far away as Greensboro, N.C. The fund’s lifeblood flows solely through the benevolence of you, the WCPE listeners who specify 10 percent of their gifts (at a membership level of at least $50) be directed to the Education Fund.This support speaks volumes about how the WCPE community values music edu-cation within the North Carolina listen-ing footprint and the importance of the fund. As a focused, creative arts discipline, Classical music offers new viewpoints, tangible accomplishments, and increased self-esteem for performers, students, and teachers alike.Over the years, grants have supported an impressive variety of endeavors and projects, and each application season brings redoubled pride in the musical depth and breadth the applicants promote.

C.P.E.: A Listener’s Guide to the Other Bach

By David HurwitzAmadeus PressA review by R.C. SpeckDespite being almost 300 years old, C.P.E. Bach is “relatively speaking, a very new field,” according to music critic David Hurwitz. Overshadowed by his illustrious father Johann Sebastian, and later by the greats of the Classical period, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, Bach had what Hurwitz describes as a long life but a short biography. In his engaging Listener’s Guide to the Other Bach, Hurwitz gives us a biographical overview of this neglected composer and then analyzes the works in his catalog one by one.Musical aesthetics were changing during Bach’s lifetime, and much of this change was due to his dedication to keyboard music. The harpsichord and clavichord were on their way out, and a new instrument, the pianoforte, was showing how dynamic instrumental music could rival the human voice in sheer beauty. During this period of transition, Bach’s work cannot be placed easily in a period the way Handel can be considered Baroque or Haydn Classical. Hurwitz demonstrates how Bach’s music is truly original, innovative, surprising, and at times even funny.Hurwitz has a way of making Classical music accessible through breezy, charming prose. And with Bach being so poorly understood by most, he pours it on in every chapter. The quirky “L’Aly Rupalich” from 1775, he describes as a “disco piece.” One sonata he refers to as a “musical paint-by-numbers kit.” A motive in Bach’s Symphony in C Major reminds him of a “puppy shaking itself dry after a bath.” The opening of his Symphony in F Major he calls a “German Classical version of the ‘Mexican Hat Dance.’”

Hurwitz also places C.P.E. Bach in the grander timeline of Classical music. He dubs him the “father of the sonata” since the way Bach structured the sonata and developed themes was emulated by later composers. Bach was also a great innovator of the keyboard concerto. Hurwitz even theorizes that Bach pre-dated his father in this, claiming that a keyboard work of the younger Bach from 1733 was indeed the first one. Hurwitz describes how Bach’s technique of alternating from major to minor variations in symphonies became standard practice for composers from Beethoven to Mahler. He also describes in several places how Franz Josef Haydn was indeed a disciple of C.P.E. Bach.In his “Parting Thoughts” chapter, Hurwitz explains how he rediscovered C.P.E. Bach after disdaining his music for many years. In a flash, he was fascinated, and in his wonderful Listener’s Guide he shares this fascination with others who may have also overlooked the marvelous music of C.P.E. Bach. q

Grants provided instruments, printed music, and/or tuition assistance to students from low-income families. In some cases, students were connected with excellent musical coaches and given a diverse set of perfor-mance opportunities. Some grants covered the cost of tickets for school students and seniors to experience Classical music at spe-cially designed concerts. Other expenditures gave student ensembles a stage to perform for North Carolina Symphony audiences.Scholarships to summer music camps were awarded. Master classes were intensive learning opportunities. Music lessons were funded. New music programs took root and grew. An educational documentary was produced by a chorus. And a special pro-gram allowing students to work with a living composer was funded.All of these requests spoke to a love of Classical music, the need to share this love, and the desire to educate listeners as well as begin-ning and advanced music students. And it’s all because of you, the WCPE listening family.The WCPE Education Fund application period for the 2017–18 season opened January 1 and closes March 31. The total dollar amount and number of grants awarded will be determined by the dona-tions to this fund by WCPE members. The application is available at theclassicalstation.org/features_education.shtml. Please submit applications through the mail to the attention of Patricia Crane at WCPE Radio/P.O. Box 828/Wake Forest, NC 27588 or by e-mail to membership@theclassicalstation.org.Thank you for your support. q

Most of the works included evoke Spanish or Argentine cities in which I have stayed: from Seville and Granada to Buenos Aires, passing through the Basque Country and Asturias on the way.”*French guitarist Thibaut Garcia begins the album Leyendas with “Asturias” and “Seville” by Isaac Albéniz (1860–1909). Next is a Basque melody, “Aire Vasco” by Antonia Jiménez Manjòn (1866–1919). In tracks 4 through 10, Garcia is joined by cellist Edgar Moreau performing Siete Canciones Populares Españolas by Manuel de Falla (1876–1946), in which he evokes seven different styles.The homage to de Falla by Joaquín Rodrigo (1901–1999), “Invocación y Danza,” does not necessarily refer to a place as much as to the neoclassicism of twentieth-century Spanish music followed by a harmonically challenging dance.Estaciones Porteñas is The Four Seasons of Buenos Aries by Astor Piazzolla (1921–1992). Porteñas are the people of the port.Garcia concludes with “Recuerdos de la Alhambra” by Francisco Tárrega (1852–1909). Tárrega used Memories of the Alhambra, a collection of essays and stories by the American writer Washington Irving, as source material for this composition.The album is a tour de force demonstrat-ing the technique in guitar known as tremolo. The fingers of the hand pluck one

note extremely fast while the thumb plays counterpoint and chords. Look forward to hearing Garcia perform this spring during our In the Gardens of Spain weekend from March 10 through 12. *Leyendas, Thibaut Garcia, 2016, liner notes. q

Back to the Baroque WeekendBy Daniel McHughBack to the Baroque weekend is one of my favorite programming events on TheClassicalStation. It is a time when we look back at some of the foundational music in the western tradition. We will hear music by Bach, Handel, Scarlatti, Vivaldi, and more Italians that I can possibly name. This special occasion will be even better this year because of our focus on HIP recordings (historically informed performance).Sometimes when the phrase “historically informed performance” is thrown around, people imagine costumed performers with replica instruments playing ancient music. It wasn’t until I took up playing the harpsi-chord early last year that I realized what his-torically informed performance is all about. Beginning in the middle of the twentieth century, musicians and musicologists started to critically look at the music of the seven-teenth and eighteenth centuries. Focusing on the instruments, style, and music of the time, musicians unearthed an older aesthetic that had been buried by romanticism.When listening to recordings of early music, try listening to what is actually happening instead of comparing it to later music. Luc Beauséjour from Montreal and Elaine Funaro from Durham are two

harpsichordists who specialize in the music of the Baroque era. After speaking with them, I learned that it is the articulation, phrasing, rhythm, and harmony that drives the music. Bach’s and Vivaldi’s concertos can be just as exciting as Beethoven’s sympho-nies. It is important to actively listen to the music and keep in mind the sense of style that is being played. Apollo’s Fire, led by Jeannette Sorrell, is an ensemble dedi-cated to historically informed performance. Ms. Sorrell performed with the North Carolina Symphony last fall in a riveting concert featuring music by Handel, two concertos by Bach, and a suite by Mozart. TheClassicalStation will be playing some of their renowned recordings for the Back to the Baroque weekend to highlight the strengths of the early music movement. This spring will see the release of their new recording of J.S. Bach’s St. John Passion.Back to the Baroque will be an excellent opportunity to hear the music anew and focus on how some of the ensembles revisit old favorites. Tune in on April 22 and 23 for Back to the Baroque on 89.7 FM and www.theclassicalstation.org. You’ll hear pianist Luc Beauséjour perform works by Domenico Scarlatti and Henry Purcell on Saturday, April 22, at 11:00 a.m. Then on Sunday, April 23, at 12:00 noon, Jeannette Sorrell leads Apollo’s Fire (the Cleveland Baroque Orchestra) in Georg Philipp Telemann’s Whimsical Symphony. q

Thank you for your support!

After graduating from college, I moved to Raleigh and went to work. I loved Classical music but was hard-pressed to find anything more than a few hours on the radio here and there.

One day in the late 1970s, I heard WCPE, and it was wonderful. I found out their studio was in a little house on Wake Forest Road, and I went over to a yard sale fundraiser. I was so impressed with Deborah’s and the staff’s effort to bring us Classical music. They were broadcasting with surplus equipment and grit. I just wanted to help. Over the years I have contributed and did some volunteer work to help ensure this jewel survived. Deborah and the staff have done a great job in anticipating the future and positioning for it. I remember this really hit home when I was volunteering for a fundraiser and we took pledges from around the U.S. and the world. I took a donation from a serviceman in Uzbekistan. He loved the station! So do I.—Mary Sue D. Brown

Don’t forget to like our Facebook pages! Look for Quarter Notes as well as WCPE TheClassicalStation.

Are you a sustainer who gives a donation every month? If so, have you considered increasing your monthly gift by $1, $2, or even $5?

A little change from you can make a big difference for the music you love. Call us today or go online to increase your sustaining gift, and thank you!
