Meet Your Host:
Haydn Jones
Can you tell us a
little about your
background? I
was born in England
but have lived in ten
countries, all told.
When I lived in India,
we used to go to
classical Indian music
concerts, where we
saw and met such luminaries as Ali Akbar
Khan, who performed with Ravi Shankar.
What is your favorite genre of music? Who
are some of your favorite composers and
artists? Classical is my favorite type of
music, as well as Baroque, Gregorian Chant,
and Renaissance music and some of the
Romantics. I particularly like Bach, Handel,
Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Palestrina. I also
very much enjoy traditional music from
India, Spain, France, Portugal, Greece, and
Latin America. I also like jazz, blues, bluegrass, folk music, and a few popular artists.
You must have seen many wonderful
concerts by different musicians around
the world. Which ones stand out in your
memory? Jean-Pierre Rampal playing
assorted pieces in Copenhagen; Wagner’s
Tannhäuser performed in Lisbon (a friend
was flautist in the Lisbon Metropolitan
Orchestra); London Symphony Orchestra
with the Royal Ballet performing
Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker in London;
Mozart’s Magic Flute performed by the
English National Opera in London.
Do you have a background in music
performance? I do not have a background
in music performance, but my wife, mother,
father-in-law, and great-aunt were all fairly
accomplished musicians.
Is there anything else your listeners might
enjoy knowing about you? I have traveled all over the Indian sub-continent and
South America on buses and trains, and
once on top of a train in Bolivia. I have
slept on beaches in Portugal, Denmark, and
India. Now that I am settled down, I teach
languages at a local college, and my wife and
I have eight children.

Thirty-Six Wonderful Years!
Labor Day
This year WCPE is celebrating thirty-six
years of Great Classical Music! I think this is
a wonderful accomplishment for any public
radio station, but especially for a community-owned listener-supported station that
does not receive government funds.
September 1
Great Classical Music for the last holiday of
summer.
Patriot Day
September 11
I am especially proud that WCPE Radio
broadcasts around the world on the Internet
and that we share our Great Classical Music
with many other public radio stations without fee or obligation. You can take us with
you wherever you go!
Your steadfast support makes our music
available to children, shut-ins, and people
who turn to us to seek respite from the ills
of the world. The widespread availability
of our Great Classical Music over the years
has brought thousands a newfound joy and
love for this art form. Be proud of what you
have helped us do, especially when we play
something that moves you and raises your
spirits, and remember that there are tens of
thousands of people who are enjoying that
same work. Thank you!
Now we are beginning the month of
September. We would like to raise funding
in advance of our upcoming membership
drive. We want to conduct half our fundraising through the mail and over the Internet
so that we can keep our drive more succinct
and play as much music as possible. You
can send in your gift to P.O. Box 897/Wake
Forest, N.C. 27588, or, you can pledge
online at theclassicalstation.org.
However you choose to help, thank you!
e

This fall, we partner with Kidznotes in
Durham, North Carolina, to bring you special programming for children, by children.
Now in its fourth year, Kidznotes is a music
program that inspires social change for its
students and the community. It engages
students from pre-kindergarten through
the twelfth grade in ten hours, weekly,
of instrumental instruction, choir, music
theory, general music, orchestra, and band.
The program, which relies on community
support and partnerships, is based on the
successful El Sistema model pioneered by
Venezuelan economist and musician José
Antonio Abreu. We’ll be asking several of the
students to practice their writing and presentation skills to share some of their favorite
works of Classical music with our listeners—
on the radio! We were able to record material

showcase what the orchestra is doing today,
with its current music director or a great
guest conductor. But we also like to dig in
our ever-growing music library for classic
performances, some of which have never
been heard before on WCPE.

whom he’s secretly married, but who’s living in
the house of her father (Di Credico). In Il Signor
Bruschino, Sofia (Battle), ward of Gaudenzio

R
enaissance
Fare
Second Mondays at 7:00 p.m.
(Eastern)
With host George Douglas
Renaissance Fare in September will feature music from the Elizabethan period in
England. The great musical Renaissance
started a little later in England than in Italy
and other parts of mainland Europe, but the
music caught on very fast, and the period
created many famous composers. We’ll
listen to music of John Dowland, Anthony
Holborne, and many others on your favorite
instruments from this period. The program
airs on Monday, September 8, at 7:00
p.m. with a repeat broadcast on Sunday,
September 14, at 5:00 p.m.
In October we’ll turn back the clock even
further and listen to music from the very
beginning stages of the Renaissance, the late
8
1300s and early
1400s. Much of
the music from this
period comes from
Italy, the birthplace
of the European
Renaissance.
Listen on Monday,
October 13, at
Elizabeth I
7:00 p.m. with a
repeat broadcast on
Sunday, October 19, at 5:00 p.m.
The royal courts throughout Europe were
the source of much of the great music
associated with the Renaissance period.
On the November program, we will focus
on the courtly music from Italy, Spain, the
Netherlands, and more. This edition of
Renaissance Fare will be heard on Monday,
November 10, at 7:00 p.m. with a repeat
broadcast on Sunday, November 16, at
5:00 p.m.
Listen to Renaissance Fare on the second
Monday of each month on WCPE,
theclassicalstation.org, with a repeat broadcast on the following Sunday at 5:00 pm. ET.

Falla’s La Vida Breve &
Granados’s Goyescas
Salud (Rodriguez) is in love with Paco (Hernández), a young man who doesn’t bother to tell her
he plans to marry a woman from a higher social
class, leading to her death. Based on a series of
six paintings from Francisco Goya’s early career,
Goyescas was inspired by the stereotypical young
men and women of the majismo movement.

All Quiet on the Western Front
In Cabildo, Mary (Hellekant) dreams of Lady
Valerie (Flanigan), who convinces the pirate Pierre
Lafitte (E. Perry) to escape from jail to fight in
the Battle of New Orleans. Van de Vate’s All Quiet
on the Western Front pays tribute to the sufferings of ordinary soldiers in war and is based on
Remarque’s famous World War I novel.
November 20
Bizet’s Les Pêcheurs de Perles
Heavenly twins Castor (Jeffes) and Pollux (Huttenlocher) are both in love with Télaïre (J. Smith),

Every week, WCPE showcases the
best works of modern composers on
Wavelengths, our Sunday evening program
of new music. We feature works written
from 1950 to the present, with a strong
focus on the 21st century. But we also reach
farther back into the 20th century to present
important compositions that have helped
pave the way for today’s music.
Wavelengths depends upon financial support
from listeners. Please make your tax-deductible gift online at theclassicalstation.org.

wcpe in the community
By Tara Lynn
Eye on Education
Thanks to financial support in the amount
of 1,250 dollars from the WCPE Education
Fund, Chapel Hill Philharmonia will be able
to provide the community with a special
children’s concert on October 26. Now
in its thirty-first season, the all-volunteer
ensemble, led by UNC–Chapel Hill music
professor Donald Oehler, is a diverse group
of musicians who share a love of Classical
music. We hope you’ll bring the special
young people in your life to this event.

With its motto Great Futures Start Here, the
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greensboro ran a
successful pilot music program last summer. The program introduced club members
to Classical music through music theory,
history, composition, and performance.
The children responded so well that the
clubs wanted secure funding to continue
and expand the program. A grant of 3,000
dollars from the WCPE Education Fund
will be used to purchase keyboards and
other instruments. The organizations are
also seeking donations of additional instruments for use in twice weekly hour-long
sessions with the goal of providing private
lessons and developing chamber groups or
possibly an orchestra. One long-term goal
of this program is to raise the skills of club
members high enough to participate in
local Classical music organizations, such as
the Greensboro Youth Symphony. As this
exciting music program continues, we are
proud to see children who often come from
difficult home environments exploring new
ideas, improving their sense of community,
and becoming ambassadors for Classical
music and its positive effects.
WCPE is proud to sponsor the North
Carolina Symphony’s Ovations program
with a grant of 3,000 dollars. A valuable
educational tool, Ovations is a pre-concert
performance opportunity for advanced
students and community groups on Classical
concert nights in Meymandi Concert Hall
from 7:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. This grant will
purchase tickets for the performers to experience the North Carolina Symphony for free
after their own lobby performance. q
Real Men Don’t Rehearse:
Adventures in the Secret
World of Professional
Orchestras
By Justin Locke
Justin Locke Productions;
189 pages
A review by R.C. Speck
If you like reading about Classical music
and you’re looking for something truly
snortworthy, you cannot do better than Real
Men Don’t Rehearse by Justin Locke. In the
18 seasons that Locke served as a doublebass player for the Boston Symphony and
the Boston Pops, he not only built up a
formidable repertoire of experience (musical
and otherwise) but also honed his chops as
a first-rate raconteur. It all comes to light,
along with a unique sense of humor, to
produce this wonderful memoir.
Of course, Locke regales us with the laughout-loud jokes and impossibly funny stories.
He’s got lots of those. Like how he faked his
way through The Star Spangled Banner, or
how he fired real Howitzers for The Overture
of 1812, or how he had been caught in his
skivvies onstage, or how he had to dodge
spitballs and M&Ms at a dreaded “kiddie
concert,” or how it once actually rained in
an orchestra pit. My favorite is how he once
pranked a conductor by playing a Mozart
symphony slower and slower and slowwwwer. The principal bass player controls the
tempo of the orchestra, you see, and there
was nothing the conductor could do about it
besides sweat.
And did you know that Classical percussionists are really good at scamming the U.S.
Postal Service? I will bet that you did not.
Real Men Don’t Rehearse provides more than
just laughs. It also gives the uninitiated
an unforgettable glimpse into the world
Chapel Hill Philharmonia

e
lately we’ve read
of professional Classical music. Did you
know that the Pops employs three full-time
librarians, who are crucial to the organization? Do you know what a conductor does
besides wave a stick in the air? Do you know
the difference between the Symphony and
the Pops? Do you know how it feels to stand
alone onstage before 50,000 people? Did
you know that bass players never need suitcases? They just pack their clothes with their
basses. And what does it take to become a
bass player, anyway? Apparently not much,
according to Locke.
Locke also gets creative. His “5-syllable
minimum” rule for conductor names (along
with its various exceptions and corollaries) is
worthy of PDQ Bach. He’s right, you know.
Wouldn’t you rather see a performance conducted by Rafael Frübeck de Burgos than by
someone named Ed Jones?
He also has the best definition of “atonal.”
According to Locke, it’s “a fancy musical
term that means if you play a wrong note,
there is a good chance that no one will
notice.”
You will find yourself laughing at that and
other jokes, insights, and anecdotes as you
breeze through Justin Locke’s hilarious Real
Men Don’t Rehearse. q

Bel Canto King Takes on
French Heavyweights
A review of L’Amour by
Juan Diego Flórez
By Bob Chapman
The 41-year-old Peruvian superstar tenor
Juan Diego Flórez has long been associated
with the bel canto repertoire, which requires
a light, flexible voice to negotiate the coloratura fireworks of Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti,
et al.
Long admired for the finesse of his vocalism,
his silky phrasing, and the gorgeousness of
his relatively small-scale sound, it’s somewhat
surprising that in his newest CD, L’Amour,
Flórez is venturing into heavier French
repertoire. Among the surprises: “Pourquoi
me Réveiller” from Massenet’s Werther, a role
more associated today with heavier-voiced
tenors like Rolando Villazón and Jonas
Kaufmann.
Flórez plans to sing the title role in Werther
on stage in 2016 in Bologna and the following year in Zurich. In the past two years,
he has already taken on a pair of operas
with dramatic tenor roles, Donizetti’s La
Favorite and Rossini’s William Tell. “I had
to adjust my technique, and I did a lot of
In Memoriam
We were saddened to learn that on
Monday, June 16, WCPE volunteer Robert
(Bob) Kennedy passed away. Bob, of
Zebulon, N.C., had dedicated many years
of service to WCPE, first as an employee
and later as an active volunteer. Bob
had a long and interesting life and much
enjoyed his years of living abroad and
international travels during his career with
the CIA. He loved a good joke (and told
many), and since settling in Zebulon was
a regular patron of the Triangle restaurant
scene. We knew him as a gentleman of
the highest caliber. His wisdom and sage
advice were always of the greatest value.
He will be greatly missed by all of us.

trial and error
with operas that
I used to sing in
another way,”
Flórez told The
Independent’s
Jessica Duchen
on March 19,
2014. “After
40, something
changes and you have to be
smart to adjust.”
L’Amour focuses on a treasure trove of 19thcentury French operas and operettas, including such delightful obscurities as Boieldieu’s
La Dame Blanche, Adam’s Le Postillon de
Longjumeau, Bizet’s La Jolie Fille de Perth,
and Offenbach’s La Belle Hélène. In addition to Werther’s “Pourquoi me Réveiller,” he
takes on another weightier aria, “Ah! Lèvetoi, Soleil” from Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette.
Despite this new emphasis on heavier
repertory, it seems unlikely that Flórez will
sing any of these works at huge venues like
the Met. Small European houses, concert
halls, and recording studios will allow him
to continue to develop artistically.
During our Fall 2014 membership drive,
we’re offering L’Amour as a thank-you gift
for your fulfilled pledge of $120. q
Great Ballet Days
By Dan McHugh
Grab your tutu and your silken slippers,
because Great Ballet Days is coming to The
Classical Station this autumn. From melodious Viennese waltzes to exotic Russian
dances, the most stunning ballets ever
written will be showcased over a four-day
celebration this September.
photo: Russ Howe
lately we’ve heard
The art of dancing along to music dates
back thousands of years, but what we know
as ballet came about only in the last few
hundred years in Western Europe. Some of
the earliest ballets that are still performed
were written for the court of Louis XIV at
Versailles in France. The Sun King, himself
an able dancer who flaunted his athletic legs
in his royal portraits, commissioned ballets
by composers like Jean-Baptiste Lully for his
and his courtiers’ enjoyment. Through these
seminal works, ballet planted itself within
French culture and evolved with music
history.
The tradition of French ballet continued into
the Romantic era with works such as Léo
Delibes’s Sylvia (1876), a piece famous for its
choreography and beautiful score. You can
hear a performance of this ballet in its entirety on Friday, September 19, performed by
the Paris National Opera Orchestra. Another
piece featured this fall is Giselle, composed
by Adolphe Adam. It made a splash on the
Parisian scene in 1841 and has been a favorite ever since. Hear an outstanding recording
by the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House,
Covent Garden, on Saturday, September
20. This piece was so popular that it spread
across Europe all the way to Russia.
Russian ballet dates back to the founding of
St. Petersburg by Tsar Peter the Great. He
spent years traveling around Europe to bring
back technology, science, and culture. His
westward-facing capitol built on a swamp
brought Western Europe to Russia and
shifted the gaze of his vast empire. Alexander
Glazunov’s ballet Raymonda premiered at
the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in January
1898 in St. Petersburg. You can hear this
ballet performed by the Moscow Symphony
Orchestra on Thursday, September 18.
The Carolina Ballet
performs The Firebird
Tchaikovsky, perhaps the best-known
composer of Russian ballets, wrote his three
immortal works The Nutcracker, Sleeping
Beauty, and Swan Lake and forever changed
the way people experience and think about
ballet. Though he wrote his works for performance in Russia, they quickly spread across
the world. This fall we will enjoy Swan Lake
by the London Symphony Orchestra under
the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas on
Sunday, September 21. Out of this tradition
came Stravinsky’s later works, The Firebird
and Petrushka. Petrushka is important
because it introduces the idea of bitonality in
music—two musical keys played simultaneously and creating a dissonant sound. Hear
these works on September 20 and September
21, respectively.
For broadcast details, see page 2. I hope you
can tune in for these ballets and more during
Great Ballet Days in September. Tune in to

What You’re Saying
I work for a utility company, and I’m in my
truck all day. [I] enjoy the relief you bring
my way. (Harvey)
Another reason to love WCPE—Aida is a
lovely way to drown out loud neighbors.
(Susan)
My family rented a house in Rodanthe for
Thanksgiving. I loathe the television so was
glad to discover [there was] an amazing sound
system. I set the dial to 89.7 and fell instantly
in love. I have thought about you ever since…
I have lived in the D.C. area, South Florida,
currently Tennessee, and have travelled all over,
and nowhere has a station quite as good as
89.7. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (Susie)
Renaissance Fare is great. I just wish music
from that period could also be heard
more frequently throughout the month.
(Katherine)
WCPE is an island of serenity in a sea of
chaos. (Jack and Rita)
Beautiful music, 24 hours a day. Sigh of contentment. Join me as a sustainer; monthly
payments are well worth it! (Jenny)
Thanks for always knowing, better than I,
what I want to listen to! Gorgeous. Your station adds so much to my life. (Kimberly)

During a house-hunting trip to North Carolina, I twirled the radio dial and
stumbled on 89.7. Well, that immediately narrowed the real estate search
area and explains how I came to live in the Triangle. Shortly after moving
here, WCPE expanded its broadcasting range, and I again have good music
accompanying me at home and wherever I go.
I am forever grateful to my parents and brother for giving me the love of
Classical music—and also to WCPE for so conveniently providing good music
accompaniment at home and while I’m driving.—Gertrude McLaughlin

In those days, Classical radio stations provided constant background music to
life, but gradually they vanished.

My 10-year-old brother had been taking piano and violin lessons for a few
years before I came along. Our parents had decided that bringing a newborn
home from the hospital would not impact his practice schedule, so on my first
evening at home, Paul began his scales and practiced as usual. No problem.
After a few days, however, I began to cry and fuss whenever the music
stopped. Mom and Dad took advantage of the situation and told him to extend
his practice time—at least until I fell asleep. His playing improved, and my
musical tastes were defined. What he was learning, “The Blue Danube” and
Sonata in C, K. 545, remain my favorite pieces of music.
