A McCartney Thanksgiving

Evening Music | May 6, 2010

For those of you who missed our live Carnegie Hall broadcast of Sir Paul McCartney's "Ecce cor meum" (Behold My Heart) earlier this month, WNYC is presenting a special Thanksgiving day re-airing of this exciting event tonight at 8 p.m. (including an interview with Sir Paul himself).

Thanksgiving music abounds through the evening as well, including Aaron Copland's orchestral suite from his only opera, "The Tender Land." Vogal group Chanticleer serves up Ned Rorem's 1984 work "Pilgrim Strangers"; countered by Vaughan Williams's timeless "Hymn of Thanksgiving." We'll bring the evening to a close with Johann Sebastian Bach's Cantata No. 92, "Now Thank We All Our God"; Helmut Rilling leads the Bach-Collegium Stuttgart.
