“A Classical Labor Day” by Vincent Trauth from Illinois Public Media
Tonight at 7:00 on WILL, FM-90.9 we present a special “Evening Concert”: “A Classical Labor Day”. I’m Vincent Trauth. Won’t you please join me for American patriotic works like Copland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man” and other pieces related to “work” of some kind, like Verdi’s “Anvil Chorus” and Mendelssohn’s “Venetian Gondola Songs”.
