Good morning and welcome to Classical Discoveries! Today we are hearing music by Arnold Rosner in observance of the composer’s 80th birthday!!We are in the middle of the WPRB fall membership quiet drive. Please go to pledge.wprb.com and support WPRB and Classical Discoveries!

Good morning Marvin and fellow listeners

Good morning, Marvin. I just pledged and paid $103.30 in honor of your 29 years at WPRB.

Thank you so, so much Richard!! Really a great way to start the day!!

This music reminds me of Keith Jarrett.

Marvin, I need your help. Last Saturday night I was up late at caught a Jazz program. I think the host was named Turshu. She was terrific. I would like to see her program moved to an earlier hour. She would get a larger audience and WPRB would benefit after the loss of two Jazz programs. I wrote to the station manager and have enlisted Dan Buskirk and Jerry Gordon to help if she is amenable to the move. Can you also help?

Marvin, have you done or could you do a program dedicated to Arvo Pärt?

Hi Richard! I did a whole program in early September in honor of his 90th birthday!

Greetings and Good Morning to Marvin and his listeners

RE: Facebook. Read "Broken Code" by Jeff Horowitz; "The Facebook Effect" by David Kirkpatrick; "Extremely Online" by Taylor Lorenz. You will quickly get off Facebook.

I forgot "An Ugly Truth", by Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang.

Sacred Mass Music orchestrated by Arnold Rosner would increase Church attendance exponentially

Good point, Patrick!! Arnold Rosner is an incredible composer!

We are proud to have you on air for so many years. Thanks for your great shows and impeccable programming .

OH, thank you so much, Patrick for your support over these many years!!

Thanks for presenting all these wonderful Arnold Rosner compositions

Thanks Dave!! Glad you could tune in!!

Marvin, sorry to be asking you to go into the wayback machine, but I remember hearing an interview you did with a composer - they were in the midst of working with Keith Emerson when Emerson died - that would bring it to 2016. Do you remember that interview and did that happen to be Arnold Rosner who you were interviewing?

Thanks, Michael!! I don't believe that was Arnold Rosner. I wish I remember for sure who that was. I will try to search it!

Thanks, Marvin. I appreciate it! Maybe it was a composer based in Philly.

Thanks Marvin everyone have a great week. Unfortunately Michael WPRB has erased many of its old playlists for some unknown reason

Thank you all so much for joining me today on Classical Discoveries for this birthday tribute to Arnold Rosner!

Really stellar show. Chronicle Of Nine just checked all my harpsichord boxes. Thanks Marvin.

It was a beautiful show.
