Pennsylvania lyricist Richard Smith was inspired by winter scenes in his hometown of Honesdale, Wayne County, in 1934, when he wrote the lyrics to the song “Winter Wonderland,” which has become a Christmas classic recorded again and again by everyone from Perry Como to Barry Manilow to The Eurythmics. Basically, almost anyone who has ever recorded a Christmas album has done “Winter Wonderland.”
Smith wrote the words while convalescing in a tuberculosis sanatorium outside Scranton and was inspired by the winter scenes he observed out his window. He died of the disease on his 34th birthday, Sept. 29, 1935.

The American classical music vernacular would never be complete without the catalogs of great composers like William Grant Still, Florence Price, and George Walker.
But even so, Black voices have been underrepresented and under-highlighted in American classical music since American composers gained a foothold in the 20th century.
As CapRadio continues to increase the number of composers of color from the past we feature on our airwaves, I think it is also all too important to take a look toward the next generation of Black composers.

4. Some of you had really spooky wedding music
Many of you requested music from your weddings, though some of the pieces took us by surprise! Congratulations to the couples who were married to the gothic grandeur of J. S. Bach s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, the epic horn blasts of Sibelius s
Finlandia, and Fauré s mournful Elégie for solo cello.
5. Classical music is bound up with your most powerful memories
Some of the most commonly-used words when making your requests were linked to memory and nostalgia: You wanted to tell us about the first time you heard a piece, or the piece that made you fall in love with music, or the piece that made you remember a special someone. It s great to hear that the music you love hasn t lost any of its power after all these years.
