Title: Listening Queue for (American) Thanksgiving?
Post by: Scion7 on November 22, 2023, 09:50:19 PM
Tomorrow (well, dawn anyway) is the American holiday of Thanksgiving - for which we ex-pats are grateful for a turkey instead of a goose.  I am spinning up Schubert and Paganini works for this day - as a random sort of thing.  What about you?
Providing you don't have a house full of unruly DNA-mates?

I was thinking Schumann's piano trios to start.

No American works on this American holiday?

Oh well, I did Ives Symphony No. 3 earlier.

And of course there's the Thanksgiving movement of the Holidays Symphony.

Which I happened to be listening to as you wrote that message! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I'm with family and we're unlikely to put any music on, but if anyone is curious to explore, may I recommend seeking out current Native American composer Jerod Tate?

Well, this was done by English people in 1621.  ;D

Before the day is officially over (for us here) an American coda (in a very French vein) -

Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue
Boban Bjélic, accordion
François-René Duchable, piano
