It’s never too early to be thankful. Therefore, I hope you’ll join me early tomorrow morning on WPRB, as we look ahead to Thanksgiving.
We’ll enjoy Matthew Brown’s setting of “Table Grace” (on a text by Garrison Keillor) and Eric Whitacre’s “I thank you God for most this amazing day,” alongside Quincy Porter’s “New England Episodes” (evocative of the region’s Puritan past), John Adams’ “Shaker Loops,” and one of Alan Hovhaness’ most fascinating symphonies, the Symphony No. 60 “To the Appalachian Mountains,” informed by the composer’s study of shape notes, mountain music and folk poetry.
It’s a cornucopia of Americana for Thanksgiving, tomorrow morning from 6 to 11 EST, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. To the tables and stuff yourselves, on Classic Ross Amico.
