With a different versions (both instrumental and vocal) of Dvořák's beloved "Songs My Mother Taught Me" to start each of our three hours, this special Mother's Day edition of Sunday on Blue Lake with Foley Schuler will include a visit to Grandmother's Garden by way of piano music of Amy Beach, lullabies by Brahms and Richard Strauss, as well as musical selections that find their respective composers expressing their profound grief at the death of their mothers. These include works of Anton Webern, Ferrucio Busoni and Johannes Brahms—including several sections from the latter's A German Requiem, Brahms' transcendent choral masterwork, thought to have been written in response to the death of his own mother, and a work of profound comfort to all who mourn the loss of a loved one.
You can hear Sunday on Blue Lake with Foley Schuler every Sunday morning from 9 until noon on Blue Lake Public Radio.
