This week we continue our observance of the season of Advent. All the music is French as we remember the organist Michel Chapuis who died last month. We also hear seasonal works by Daquin and Dupré and we celebrate the 195th birthday of César Franck with one of his grand chorales.
Hosts: Mark Scholtz, Bill Stein, Brent Johnson
