When they were playing mostly new age, there was a symphonic piece that was played maybe 2-3 times a week. I've been searching for years and can't find it. I would appreciate any insight. Thanks!

Maybe this will help: WTMD 89.7 FM Best Of The Breeze, Volume 1
Thank you! That's a great list but unfortunately the tune is not among them.
Was it Barber’s Adagio?
Thank you. I've hit on that in my search. The closest so far.
Is it brassy or all strings?
Mostly strings.
Was there voice in it? Gorecki's 3rd Symphony was also big in the 90's, almost all strings, and the canonical recording was conducted by David Zinman, who was the BSO's conductor at the time.
ALL strings or mostly strings?
It's not Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, is it? I remember that being big in the 90s/early 00s.
Wow! What an incredible piece that is. Unfortunately, it is not the music. Thanks for the suggestion.
Moby - Porcelain That was big WTMD energy.
Thanks, but not even close. The piece was more symphonic without modern trap kit. Nice songvthough.
Was definitely a half joke, WTMD played that album to death back in the day. Good luck
I would've originally guessed Goreçki
Gustav Holst, The Planets, Neptune?
Thanks. I've just listened to all of the suites and they aren't it. Thankbyou, though.
Worth a try! Hope you liked them! I recently saw the entire piece in person. Mars is awesome! For Neptune, the conductor had a women’s choir of 100 offstage and they simply opened the stage doors for their voices to stream into the auditorium like distant angels. It was so good! Good luck with your music search. Any more details would be helpful!
WHFS Forever!!!!
Is that you, Weasel?
No...missing his longwinded ramblings tho'
I remember Sibelius' Finlandia being bigger than the Macarena on Baltimore radio in the 90's.
Thank you, but that's one of the ones I listened to during my quest to find the one. It's a very nice piece, though.
