As Blue Lake Public Radio introduces some changes in its Sunday lineup, please join host Foley Schuler as he moves his acclaimed Sunday on Blue Lake program from the morning to the afternoon with this week's show. Highlights include music in celebration of America's 250th birthday by Charles Ives, Antonín Dvořák, Geroge Gershwin, and others, with am emphasis on music inspired by some of our great American writers—Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau and Herman Melville—the latter of whom will be represented by our musical centerpiece of the program, as we offer a rare chance to hear Bernard Herrmann's early masterpiece, his 1938 Cantata, Moby Dick.
In the final hour Foley will share some impressions from his recent visit to the Obama Presidential Center during its opening weekend celebration in late June, before ending with music in tribute to our great 16th President—and another, of course, to come out of Illinois—who took our country that one crucial (indeed, monumental) step closer to fulfilling the promise of Thomas Jefferson's immortal (so beautiful and inspiring and yet leaving out so many) words in the Declaration of Independence, Abraham Lincoln. Tune in as James Earl Jones serves as narrator in Aaron Copland's beloved and deeply moving, Lincoln Portrait.
You can hear Sunday on Blue Lake with Foley Schuler every Sunday at its all new time, from 1 until 4 pm, on Blue Lake Public Radio.
