The programs are also available anytime for seven days after broadcast
by going to the main page, clicking on 'Composer of the Week', and
then you will see the archive of the week's shows which may be clicked
for re-broadcast. The more I hear this composer the better I like him,
especially the organ music which clearly formed an im****tant part of
the great Bach's background.
