For Labor Day, here’s an effective transcription of John Alden Carpenter’s construction worker ballet, “Skyscrapers” (1926). On Saturday, I included the orchestral version on a playlist of labor-related works for my radio show, “Sweetness and Light.” This arrangement, by Yukiko Nishimura, was performed at Temple University by pianists Sara Davis Buechner & Charles Abramovic and percussionists Alyssa Resh & Andrew Malonis.
