Common time, also known as 4/4 time, is a meter with four quarter-note beats per measure. It’s often symbolized by the common-time symbol. Around here, we like to look at common time as four parts of our daily lives: Family, Sleep, Work, Recreation. Each one is important to a well-rounded existence and we think each can be enhanced by listening to classical music on WGUC.
Family: when you spend time together, perhaps at the dinner table, enjoy each other’s company and stories from the day with classical music providing the perfect soundtrack.
Sleep: these days are especially stressful, and it can be hard to wind our brains down to fall asleep. The music you hear on WGUC can allow for peaceful thoughts, opportunities to breathe deeply and allow the day’s struggles to melt away.
Work: whether you are working in an office, from home, or a neighborhood coffee shop, you have to focus even with all the world’s events swirling around you. Your earbuds and WGUC will allow your brain to block out the noise and zero in on the work you need to do.
Recreation: during days like these, where isolation is forced upon us, taking care of our physical well-being has never been more important. Whether you walk or run, use a stationary bike or do yoga, find the classical music that inspires or relaxes you so you get the most from your exercise.
WGUC has been around for over 60 years, providing our listeners the very best classical music ever written, but it’s as important as it’s ever been in 2021.
For all your common time, we are here for you.
