Nature’s abundance — this is what harvest festivals around
the world have celebrated from time immemorial. But America’s
great harvest festival, Thanksgiving, celebrates something else
besides. Ever since Pilgrim newcomer and native Wampanoag sat
together at a common table in the fall of 1621, Thanksgiving has
been a reminder of our deep connection to family, friends, neighbors
and (as the Founding Fathers would put it) Nature’s God. This special Thanksgiving album is intended as a musical companion to our multifaceted feast day, featuring works by some of our country’s most lauded composers, from hither and yon across the states and the decades. Some of their contributions are instrumental, others vocal. Some are symphonic excerpts, others dance tunes, spirituals or hymns. Some gleam with the burnish of the early 1800s, while even those of more recent date have the soft, rich rustle of nostalgia about them. |
