Black Friday Escape to the Wild Picture Perfect

Black Friday Escape to the Wild Picture Perfect

by 

This week on “Picture Perfect,” for Black Friday, we flee “civilization” for the relative safety of the wilderness.

We’ll hear music from “Born Free” by John Barry, “Hatari!” by Henry Mancini, National Geographic’s “Grizzly!” by Jerome Moross, and “The Jungle Book,” by Miklós Rózsa.

I hope you’ll join me for “The Call of the Wild,” this Friday evening at 6 ET (leftover turkey and cranberry sauce sandwiches optional), or for the repeat Saturday morning at 6; or that you’ll listen to it later as a webcast, at http://www.wwfm.org.

As something of a bonus, since it’s Thanksgiving, here’s a second helping of Rózsa, assembled from his score to “Plymouth Adventure”:

The main title is based on the Ainsworth Psalter, written by English Separatist clergyman Henry Ainsworth. It was published in Holland in 1612 and brought to America by the Pilgrims in 1620.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
