Greetings and Good Day to Marvin and all listeners. Nobody brightens up a dreary winter day like Marvin

Hi Patrick! ❄️ You got that right. This marathon is bringing me a lot of cheer on a dreary icy day. Hope you're having a good day.

Hi Christine just arrived for Church in Center City. Not too bad here. Northeast Philadelphia a little Icy and dicey

this is gorgeous

1000 miles away in florida perfect afternoon

Begorrah! :)

Sláinte!

Expected another jig in there somewhere.

That was lovely.

Thanks for clearing up that 50 50 Marvin. I thought we were holding tickets for some kind of prize

I was busy painting the ceiling in the other room. Three hours ago you played this. Carl-Johan Stjernstrom, bass clarinet, Malmo Symphony Orchestra, Joachim Gustafsson, conductor Concerto for Bass Clarinet and Orchestra (2025) Phibbs, Joseph (Britain, 1974- ) Thanks for that Marvin.

The fingering of the Bass Clarinet is the same as a regular clarinet. Don't ask me how I know this.

I really liked that piece too.

Lester is my go to clarinet guy!!! Marvin once aired an entire Zither program . He contains multitudes!!

OINGO bOINGO. WOW. Elfman

Some lively percussion there.

I guess we get some Bagpipes here soon.

Hello

I lost my Banjo in the 2021 flood. Had I known, I would have moved on up to a foggy Mountain. The Banjo has a unique timbre

Hi Lester 🪕🐿 & Rob 🦀🎄 👋 Rob, were you able to see a snowy owl?

Forward onto the Forbidden Planet.

Taking a break to watch a film, but this has been 6+ hours of delight, Marvin!

Hello to Rob MD. I’m afraid Maryland won’t be so merry tonight when the Ravens are eliminated

A new appreciation for clouds (though the composer was born in 1962 not 61 - close enough!).

Hi Christine.

I enjoyed your piece, @Philip B.

don't bet on game , they will win

careful, all 4 faces of eve might post tonite

Marvelous music Marvin . What a bright future for Ms Wolkowitz

Thanks Patrick!! I liked her piece very much!!

Bits of "String Quartet No. 3 (2016)" have reminded us of The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony"

Was JUST thinking a while ago, I wonder if the saxophone might make an appearance? I thought it unlikely and well, wrong again! :)

Sail Away Sail Away

@Christine, yes, we were able to see the Snowy Owl yesterday, across the Potomac at National Airport (DCA) 🦉.

@Patrick White, thank you for your sympathy. I am not a sports fan so I had no idea that the Ravens were in a position to be eliminated

and thank you @Philip B!

This afternoon my wife and I saw the female Common Eider near Annapolis. That species is a marine duck and it is highly unusual for one to be so far up the Chesapeake Bay. We got to see it a couple hundred feet away. The male is much more colorful https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Common_Eider/id

And now I'm floored. Seriously, thank you Marvin.

"The present day composer refuses to die," originally from a 1921 manifesto by Edgard Varèse and Carlos Salzedo, which emphasized the need for composers to unite and fight for fair and free presentation of their work.

Rob- You must be a duck, cause you quacking me up

Good evening Marvin & chat! The music after 4:30 made for the perfect cruise from Somerset back past Princeton to get home.

An excellent show so far!

Valentin Silvestrov's pieces from the recent Classical Discoveries' edition of Christmas Around the World were some of my favorites from that show.

Hi @TAndy!

Good on you @Rob on your recent bird sightings 🦉 👀

Marvin, is the piece Andromeda by Cemeryte in a specific album.? I couldn’t find it . There is a live version on you tube

Thanks, Mike! It was sent to me by the composer! Glad you enjoyed it !!

Hey Christine :)

@Lester, :-D

Exceptional sounds Marvin

@Christine, tomorrow we might go look for another marine duck (Harlequin Duck, https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Harlequin_Duck/photo-gallery/63898041) not far from today's eider but on the other side of the bay. We haven't seen either species in over a decade

so so cool

@Rob, I hope you luck out tomorrow! ✨️🦆

Hi! I just heard a snippet of my piece "Exploratory" for Tenor Sax and Fixed Media--- which I thought would be played tomorrow morning. Was that a mistake? Will it still be played in full? Just wondering! Thanks for all you do, Marvin.

Make me feel a tad light headed there. lol Lovely vocals.

Robert, it will be played in full tomorrow. The problem was related to something mislabeled!! Your fine!!

@Christine, ty! That duck sounds like it gets really close

Thanks, Marvin. I appreciate it. I'm loving this. So many wonderful new-to-me pieces to discover.

Hello Marvin and fellow Classical Music lovers! Been listening all day and heard several Beautiful compositions, and this Requiem is certainly one of them.Thank you!

This Reqiuem has some beautiful, haunting singing. 💗

Hi @Alan Parsec Project 🌠 🔭

Hi Christne! ✨We've had so many cloudy days and nights, but last Sunday it was soo clear, winter stars..

...and this Requiem has been ✨✨✨✨✨

Agreed, @Alan. Absolutely stellar. The voices and harmonies floated up above the aurora.

A lot of wonderful stuff that's new to my ears, which is to be expected from Marvin Rosen! I listen a whole lot more than I comment, so now is a good time to say thanks for another year opening my ears

Don't forget!! I still have 14 and a half hours to go!!

Unlike you, marvin, I'm going to have to catch a few hours of sleep in between

As a fellow Frank Zappa fan it was an easy opening to appreciating modern music, like this piece

Hi Marvin. What happened? Was it the file I sent you?

Should I resend it?

Cheers to you, Marvin! ☕️ I'm keeping my radio on all night and will try to stay conscious as late as possible.

@Marvin, thank you for your Marathon this weekend. My wife and I have been enjoying it for the past few hours. Good night and we'll catch you tomorrow morning

I just remembered /\ to check the date, sad to find /\ I was ten hours late.....Then two minutes in /\ my internet went on strike /\ sound cloud, i'll be there.....

We are sadly having some tech issues. So sorry!!
