Meet Your Host:

Opera House...........................9
How long have you been an announcer
at WCPE, and what attracted you to The
Classical Station? I’ve always enjoyed
listening to WCPE, for the 25 years plus that
I’ve been in the Raleigh area. I’m pretty new
at announcing, having started as a volunteer
only in the last few months, and I owe it to
Tara Lynn for encouraging me to consider
it after doing a brief voice spot on behalf of
Raleigh Concert Band for the station.
Great Sacred Music, Preview,
Wavelengths, and Peaceful
Reflections.................................10
How did you get involved in broadcasting? From volunteerism in several other
community groups, I’ve been called on
before to lead and/or to speak, so hosting a
radio spot merges these interests nicely with
a lifelong love of music.
Do you have a background in music performance? My personal musical experience
is primarily in instrumental performance,
first on the flute, then later on string bass as
a second instrument. I have played in local
symphonic wind ensembles, like Raleigh
Concert Band, which have graced the area
for decades with their civic and private
performances.
What are your goals with your newfound
love of announcing? I love being around
people at WCPE that have much deeper
formal musical backgrounds than I do, and
announcing has proven to be a great avenue
for me to pick up some of the music history
education that I’ve never really had before.
And the best way to really learn something is
to teach it, so I have high hopes in this being
a shared journey with our listeners.

home sweet home
I want to thank you for your support of
WCPE Radio (theclassicalstation.org).
Without your generous gifts, we would
not be able to continue our round-theclock broadcasts. This is especially true
for our web listeners and listeners to
our mini-transmitters.
By William Woltz
December is a special month for many
people. Christmas comes this month,
and Chanukah began on Thanksgiving
day. All three of these holidays,
Thanksgiving Day, Chanukah, and
Christmas, symbolize recognition and
giving gifts to family members and
close friends. I hope you will consider
WCPE Radio to be a part of your
family and ask that you remember our
station in December.
Chanukah (Hanukkah)
This year is like any year—our
expenses go up just as yours do, and
we have to meet these expenses. We share
our programming without cost or obligation to many cable and public radio stations
across the country. We believe that Great
Classical Music is a treasure and gift which is
important to preserve and protect.
This station is unique; we do not have a university, municipality, or government agency
to fall back upon during difficult times.
We have to depend on you. We are truly a
community radio station, because members
of each community we serve take the time
and effort to help us financially, like local
business owners who believe this station is
important and worthy of their support.
We are blessed in that we are able to operate
with a 100,000-watt transmitter, which
is the highest broadcast power allowed in
the United States for an FM station. Also,
we have mini-transmitters in cities where
our signal weakens after 75 or 90 miles, we
have partner stations rebroadcasting our
music, and we have many listeners across the
country via the Internet. There is no other
radio station in the country that operates a
high-power station that has been fortunate
enough to have had a quarter-mile–tall tower
donated to it. We have many broadcast
options that bring you Great Classical Music
around the clock, every day of the year.

December 14–16
January 21
This year we have pre-festival highlights: Bob
Chapman presents Ludwig van Beethoven’s
Leonore in Opera House on December 12;
then we devote the Friday evening Concert
Hall to the chamber music of Beethoven.
Starting Saturday, December 14, you can
enjoy Beethoven’s greatest symphonies, sonatas, concertos, and more, culminating in the
glorious Ninth Symphony during Monday
Night at the Symphony on December
16. See page 29 for more details about

with music of American composers and
performers.
Christmas
Black History Month
A new season of live broadcasts begins
December 7 at 12:30 p.m. ET with Verdi’s
Rigoletto.
Many people wait until December to make
their donations to non-profit organizations
that they support. So I ask you to consider a
December gift to WCPE Radio if you listen
to us in central North Carolina and Southside
Virginia, and to theclassicalstation.org if you
listen to us on the Internet or on one of the
public radio stations which carry our signal.
You can donate stocks and bonds to us
through Merrill Lynch, Davenport, and
EDJones. If you happen to be holding some
stock certificates with just a few shares on
them, you can sign the backs and mail them
to us. Your charitable gifts can help you this
coming April. The same goes for that old
car or truck that you never use anymore.
Wherever you live in the U.S., we can have
someone pick it up for donation, and you’ll
get a donation verification in return for your
generosity.
Thank you for your support of this beautiful
music and the stations and the people who
bring it to you. From all of us here at WCPE
Radio, we’ll do our best to bring you Great
Classical Music throughout the coming year,
and it will all be because you took the time
to give us your financial support!
Thank you!
January 18–19
The Mighty Handful was a group of five

great performers you can increase your capacity for appreciation manyfold. That’s why we

Carolina Symphony to guide us through the
recordings that have inspired them most in

Every week, WCPE showcases the best
works of contemporary composers on
Wavelengths, our Sunday evening program
of new music. We primarily feature works
written from 1950 to the present, with a
strong focus on the 21st century. But we’ll
also reach farther back into the 20th century
to present important compositions that have
helped pave the way for today’s music.
Each Sunday evening after Wavelengths,
WCPE brings you two hours of relaxing
music on Peaceful Reflections. It’s a thoughtful mix of orchestral, chamber, choral, and
organ works, chosen to help you unwind
from the week just ended and prepare for
the one ahead.
Wavelengths depends upon financial support
from listeners. Please make your tax-deductible gift online at theclassicalstation.org.

wcpe in the community
By Tara Lynn
As a member of The Classical Station, you
have an opportunity to help others connect
to this timeless source of beauty—beyond
listening to the radio! Our Education Fund
was established in 2010 to allow our donors
to unite and elect to champion educational
community-based Classical music endeavors.
From concert experiences to high-caliber
music lessons, from musical summer camps
to premiere performance opportunities,
mentorships to documentaries, we continue
to invest in our community because we
know how Classical music can have a positive impact on our lives.
To opt in the WCPE Education Fund,
you forgo a thank-you gift. With your permission, ten percent of your contribution
will be used to sponsor Classical music
educational opportunities in North
Carolina. Find out more by visiting
theclassicalstation.org/education.
Meet Allan Friedman and the
Women’s Voices Chorus
In the words of Dr. Allan Friedman, “The
Women’s Voices Chorus (WVC) was
founded in 1993 by Mary Lycan as a
chorus for women singers to promote
music written by and for women.
Women’s Voices Chorus is unique as
the Triangle’s only community-based
Classical chorus for sopranos and
altos. We bring to life a wide range
of choral music written for women.
Our repertoire extends from medieval
chant and Renaissance polyphony
to opera choruses and contemporary
compositions. We delight in unearthing forgotten gems and introducing
new works by active composers, especially by women composers, as well
as music from folk and world idioms.
I’ve been the artistic director of the
chorus since 2007.”
What goal is the WCPE Education
Fund helping Women’s Voices
Chorus achieve? WVC is creating a
short documentary and concert video
of our performance of Vivaldi’s Gloria
in January of 2013. Our performance
mirrored the original presentations
of this piece by featuring chorus consisting entirely of women. The documentary
will explore the compositional history of
this piece and the process of recreating
this music in this special manner and will
provide viewers a chance to hear and see this
performance.
How will this project benefit the ensemble
and other music lovers outside of the
ensemble? WVC will benefit by having
a chance fulfill one of our core missions: to
educate the public about our historically
informed performances of music composed
for women. Music lovers will have a chance
to hear this music sung by women and to
learn more about the unique circumstances
that fostered the composition of Vivaldi’s
sacred music.
How can we see the finished project?
Portions of the film will be available online
at womensvoiceschorus.org, as well as at
WCPE’s website (theclassicalstation.org).
Full-length recordings of the performance
will be available by contacting the chorus at
womensvoiceschorus.org/contact/.

A review of Verdi by Plácido
Domingo
Sight Reading
By Daphne Kalotay
By Bob Chapman
Harper Collins; 324 pages
In Italianate operas, tenors tend to be handsome young guys, with bright, virile voices.
But by the time they hit the half-century
mark, their days of portraying dashing dudes
who always end up getting the girl are pretty
much over. Baritones and basses, by contrast,
often hit their vocal and artistic peaks in
their fifties, and in the roles they are typically
called upon to play—grandfathers, elderly
clergymen, villains, etc.—their graying hair
and lined faces are generally not liabilities.
A review by R. C. Speck
A symphony becomes a plot device, and
a violin solo a literary conceit, in Sight
Reading, the latest novel from awardwinning novelist Daphne Kalotay. The
classic love triangle gets the Classical music
treatment from Kalotay when Nicholas,
the introspective and brilliant composer, is
forced to choose between Hazel, his beautiful wife and mother of his child, and the
free-spirited violinist Remy. Set in Boston,
Sight Reading focuses on how these characters keep looking back to their own histories
as they tend to their lonely, roving hearts.
Weddings, divorces, affairs, secrets, lies,
confessions, and music, lots of music…it’s all
in there.
Remy wants to live like Oscar Wilde, but
she also forces herself to the painful limits
of her technical ability on the violin. Hazel
keeps seeing her own doppelgänger before
pivotal moments in her life and wonders if
she is losing her mind. Meanwhile Nicholas,
a world-renowned composer, struggles with
his great symphony for nearly twenty years.
He’s trying to capture the spontaneity and
passion in his work that he once witnessed
during a Gypsy street concert in his youth.
Kalotay gives us much technical information on the violin, especially during Remy’s
rehearsals and lessons with Conrad Lesser,
a world-famous teacher of the violin. Who
knew how brutal that instrument can be on
the shoulder and wrists when you take it
seriously? Who knew how maddening it can
e
lately we’ve heard
be when you are sight-reading an excruciatingly difficult solo piece, and your teacher
tosses the sheet music to the floor, forcing
you to deal with it in real time, forcing you
to improvise?
Kalotay delves deepest with Nicholas.
Absent-minded to the people who love him,
he slowly loses them one by one. Finishing
that symphony is what he needs to do to
become whole again, and he discovers he has
to go to some pretty dangerous places, literally and emotionally, to do this.
Will Nicholas, Hazel, and Remy free
themselves from past betrayals and broken
hearts, or will they get lost in the romantic
complications they’ve created for themselves? And will their common love for
music save them in the end? These are some
of the themes Daphne Kalotay has taken on
in Sight Reading. q
WCPE is listenersupported
Classical radio.
Which brings us to the case of septuagenarian Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo, who’s
lately switched over to baritone. Domingo’s
earliest roles were as a lyric baritone in his
parents’ Zarzuela company. By the time he
made the switch to the higher tessitura in his
twenties, Domingo’s voice had a “baritonal”
timbre, making him ideal for many of the
heavier Verdi and Puccini tenor roles.
As late as 1995, Domingo’s repertoire still
included the principal tenor role in Simon
Boccanegra. But in 2009, the 68-year-old
began turning to more age-appropriate baritone characters: the title role in Boccanegra,
Giorgio Germont in La Traviata, the court
jester in Rigoletto, and Giacomo in Giovanna
d’Arco. Last summer I saw him draw a huge
crowd to Verona’s Arena, where he was the
Babylonian king in Nabucco.
But shouldn’t these roles be performed by a
true “Verdi baritone” instead of a “bari-tenor”? In this new CD, Verdi, he sings eighteen
baritone arias from nine operas. In a theater,
Domingo’s marvelous acting skills—honed
by five decades in the world’s greatest opera
houses—may convince viewers that he really
is Germont père, but on a recording one
hears the inappropriate sound of a darkvoiced tenor singing baritone.
This recording is for Domingo fans with
encyclopedic collections. Those interested
in authentic Verdi baritone fare are better
served by Warren, Merrill, MacNeil, Milnes,
Bruson, Pons, or Hvorostovsky. q
Join us on Saturday, December 7, at
3:00 p.m. for Carnival of the Animals,
a family event, presented with and

Symphony and WCPE.

passed away. There are three things that I
want to mention about this piece. First, it
surprisingly begins with a fugue. (Classical
composers had abandoned the fugue in
favor of sonata form.) Second, it contains
seven movements. (Normally a string quartet
has four.) Finally, the entire piece is to be
played without interruption. How were the
musicians to remain in tune for 40 minutes
without a break? Beethoven simultaneously
embraced the musical style of his predecessor
Johann Sebastian Bach while he pushed the
Classical style to its limits. The opus 131 is
Beethoven’s response to a changing world,
looking back in time while moving forward.
Beethovenfest
Next, we devote the Friday evening Concert
Hall to the chamber music of Beethoven.
Beginning December 13 at 7:00 p.m. ET,
we’ll feature works for strings, winds, and
piano, leading to one of his most forwardlooking works, the String Quartet no. 14 in
C-sharp minor, opus 131, at 9:00 p.m. ET.
December 14–16

The Cypress Quartet
The Chamber Music of
Beethoven
By Dan McHugh
Many people have heard Beethoven’s Fifth
and Ninth Symphonies. Some people are
familiar with his piano sonatas, such as the
Moonlight or the Pathétique. But fewer are
aware of Beethoven’s more intimate works—
his chamber music.
Chamber music is music written for a
smaller group of musicians and is played in a
smaller venue like a private home or a parlor,
as opposed to the concert hall. String quartets, piano trios, octets for wind ensembles,
and quintets are a few examples of chamber
music. These pieces are performed without a
conductor so that the individual musicians
are in control of dynamics and articulation.
(Piano sonatas are generally not included as
chamber pieces because only one musician is
playing.) Though less popular than his major
works, Beethoven’s chamber pieces are just
as groundbreaking and important as his symphonies. In fact, the first pieces published by
the young Beethoven were three piano trios.
28
Beethoven published the Piano Trio in C
Minor, op. 1, no. 3, in 1795. Like the piano
trios of Franz Josef Haydn, this piece is
dominated by the piano part. This shouldn’t
come as a surprise—Beethoven not only
played the piano but also was a pupil of the
much older and experienced “Father of the
Symphony.” Accented by the violin and
cello, Beethoven wrote a piece for piano that
is merely accompanied by the other instruments. Beethoven expounded on the abilities
of the pianoforte by writing virtuosic passages directed by a wide range of dynamics from pianissimo to fortissimo, all within
bars of each other. Squarely grounded in
the Classical style, this piece helped launch
Beethoven’s composing career and led to
his greatest piece in C Minor—the Fifth
Symphony.
If the Piano Trio in C Minor represents a
continuation of the style of Haydn in the
Classical era, then the String Quartet in
C-sharp Minor, op. 131, is the antithesis.
Beethoven wrote this piece in 1826, when he
was completely deaf, two years after he wrote
his Ninth Symphony and shortly before he
Ludwig van Beethoven, as a man, was coarse,
abrasive, and lonely, ultimately isolated by
his temperament and his growing deafness.
Yet his music is a soaring declaration of
courage, individuality, and the indomitable
human spirit. WCPE’s annual Beethovenfest
is a celebration of that spirit and the music it
inspired.
This year, our festival gets off to an early
start with Opera House. On Thursday,
December 12, at 7:00 p.m. ET, join host
Bob Chapman as he presents Beethoven’s
Leonore, an early version of the opera that
would come to be known as Fidelio.
I invite you to pay special attention to
the chamber music of Beethoven, as well
as his much-loved symphonies and sonatas,
on WCPE’s Beethovenfest this December.
We will broadcast a new recording of the
opus 131 by the Cyprus Quartet—you will
not want to miss it. Hear all of your favorite Beethoven pieces online at
www.theclassicalstation.org. q
The body of our festival gets underway
on Saturday, December 14, as we present
Beethoven’s greatest symphonies, sonatas,
concertos, and more through the weekend,
culminating in the glorious Ninth Symphony
on Monday Night at the Symphony on
December 16 from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. ET.
Whether you’re a longtime Beethoven fan or
a new listener, you’ll find something to like
in WCPE’s Beethovenfest. q

WCPE truly unique and valuable! (Roxanne)
I just have to tell you how much I am enjoying today’s choral and organ music. It brings
back so many memories for me. My dad
played the organ…and most of my Classical
music memories are from the music that my
mother played while I was a young child.
Never knew what a lasting impression that it
made on me until moving to North Carolina
and finding WCPE on the radio. (Beverly)

After moving to Cary in 1979, we
became supporters of WCPE Radio.
Listening to the classics in general and
Russian compositions in particular, we
were motivated to explore the home
turf of composers and performers
during our visits to St. Petersburg
and Moscow beginning in 1985. In
St. Petersburg’s Alexander Nevsky
Cemetery, we viewed the final resting
places of Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky,
Borodin, Balakirev, Glinka, Rubenstein,
and Rimsky-Korsakov. Historical
performance venues included the
Kirov (Mariinsky) Theatre, Great Hall
of the Shostakovich Philharmonia,
Mikhailovsky Theatre, and perhaps
most impressive, the recently restored Imperial Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.
Who can say that, without our introduction by WCPE to the Russian
composers, we would have been able to understand and appreciate this
exquisite Classical culture in person? Currently, our home and car stereos are
tuned to WCPE to enjoy great music whenever and wherever. We support the
station by contributing and by volunteering during the semi-annual fundraisers
and encourage others to do the same to ensure the sustainability of WCPE.—
