Musical Fireworks
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
We'll have plenty of musical fireworks to accompany the holiday evening, including works by Charles Ives, Aaron Copland, William Billings and Louis Moreau Gottschalk. We'll even feature fireworks Baroque-style, with Handel's "Music for the Royal Fireworks" (Roger Norrington and the London Classical Players).
Antonin Dvorak wrote some of his most popular music while visiting in America; we'll hear a piece he wrote right here in Manhattan, his Cello Concerto in B Minor (featuring Yo-yo Ma). Also, a musical tribute to Stephen Foster, serendipitously born on this date in 1826.
