As we wish all our listeners a happy Thanksgiving—with gratitude for each and every one of you—our special Thanksgiving edition of Classical Music with Foley Schuler will feature musical expressions of thankfulness of various composers from over the centuries, from Beethoven to Richard Strauss to John Tavener, and we'll step into the kitchen as well, for food-inspired works by Mahler, Martinů and (again) Richard Strauss.
As always, we promise program that will both stand on its own as a listening experience, work as background for your Thanksgiving celebrations and obverservances—and will even serve as accompaniment to Thanksgiving Day showdown between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers (which happens this year to coincide almost exactly with the show). So feel free to mute the sound on that and watch the action to the strains of the finest in recorded classical music, curated for the holiday.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 until 4 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
