Many composers expressed their gratitude for the harvest, for life, for love, for country through music. Some you know as hymns. Some you know as seasonal. Some appeared in movies. All can evoke feelings of appreciation and peace.
What are your favorites?
Perhaps it’s the music of Aaron Copland – Variations on a Shaker Melody “Simple Gifts” or music from The Tender Land. Perhaps its Bach’s Now Thank We All Our God. Perhaps Ives stirs your soul with his Variations on America. Please share your thoughts below.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving Day, you will hear much of this heartwarming and emotional music either throughout the week or during our special programs. We hope you will make WGUC part of your Thanksgiving holiday.
