Music for Advent 4 and Christmas.
Joy
Described as an hour featuring the “JOY expressed in some great music,” Ron Klemm weaves sacred classics from history’s finest composers, together with sparkling arrangements of hymns and church anthems, into a colorful fabric of musical delight. Brief, heartfelt commentary focuses the listener’s attention on the text: some in familiar settings, others not as well known. Ron’s experience with and love for classical and church music makes for an inspiring hour of priceless musical gems. Contact Ron Klemm at JOY@kfuo.org and listen to Bach Talk from the Bach Society of Saint Louis at bachsociety.org/bach-talk.

JOY — Advent 2: “KFUO 100th Anniversary”
Music for Advent 2 and the 100th Anniversary of KFUO Radio.
JOY — Love Demands All
All these presentations, all these hours of music since Ash Wednesday have led us to this moment—at the foot of the cross.
JOY — Wondrous Love
Our music today is poignant—have the tissues handy. But it is necessary for us to hear. And remember: the victory has already been won!
JOY — Sweet Hosannas
“Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord.” Really? Because in mere days they’ll be shouting “Crucify Him!”
JOY — Peace at the Cross
Our focus today: the peace that our great Savior and divine Redeemer can bring into our lives.
