If you’re looking for something unusual to listen to on this Presidents Day weekend, here are a couple of links to extremely rare symphonies inspired by Lincoln, neither of which, to my knowledge, has ever received a commercial recording:

Daniel Gregory Mason’ Symphony No. 3 “Lincoln” (1936)

Jaromir Weinberger’s “Lincoln Symphony” (1941)

Yes, that’s the same Weinberger who composed “Schwanda the Bagpiper!”
