 Wake Forest, N.C. (TOP40 Charts/ WCPE FM) -- WCPE Assistant Music Director Kenneth Bradshaw announces a weekend-long extravaganza celebrating Great Classical Music in the cinema, August 15-16, 2010. Throughout this two-day festival, WCPE will share music from films ranging from timeless to obscure. There�s newer music written for the movie, and old masterpieces that make the movie. On Saturday you may request your favorite cinema classic at https://theclassicalstation.org/features_request.shtml. Peaceful Reflections closes the weekend with all music from the silver screen. �Some classical works will be forever linked with a favorite film,� says Bradshaw, who is also As You Like It host. �Who can forget the hypnotic space ballet to �The Blue Danube� in Kubrick�s 2001: A Space Odyssey�?
�Some have been written just for the screen, like the last two items below,� he adds. �We have many works to choose from for a weekend of film music.�
For a stroll down memory lane, hear such notable classical works as:
J. S. Bach�s Keyboard Concerto no. 3, featured in Love Story;
