Its a good Friday in New York, and its Good Friday, too. First the good part: Cool again today -- low 50s, but sunny this weekend -- 65 tomorrow! Now, the Good part: WQXR brings you TWO of Sebastian Bachs Passions today: the St. Matthew Passion at Noon, and the St. John Passion tonight at 9. Well have other music appropriate to the church calendar throughout the weekend, including a special Easter edition of The Choral Mix on Sunday morning at 8. This morning, a Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody; the Saint-Saens Havanaise for violin; Schumanns dashing Arabesque for piano; Debussys Festivals for orchestra; Beethovens für Elise; Dvoraks Bagatelles; the Good Friday music from Wagners Parsifal (when, if not today?); and for your morning Bach, from the St. Matthew Passion, Mache dich, one of the most exquisite moments in all of Bach. All of this music and more pours of your radio at 105.9 FM in New York; out of your computer at WQXR.org; and out of your phone with our free app. We wish all celebrants a good Good Friday and a Happy Easter, and we wish everyone a good Friday and a great weekend!
