Thanksgiving Special: Giving Thanks: A Celebration of Fall, Food, and Gratitude.

With music and stories for Thanksgiving, host John Birge creates a thoughtful, contemporary reflection on the meaning of the holiday. Classical music is the heart and soul of the original Giving Thanks. Between the music, no clichés about pilgrims and pumpkin pies. Instead, it's a contemporary celebration of the spirit of Gratitude. Whether your listeners are early in the kitchen, on the road to a family gathering, or relaxing after the feast, Giving Thanks provides the perfect atmosphere for Thanksgiving: the warmth of great music, and truly memorable words.  Michael Tilson Thomas (cond.), guest; Rita Dove (poet), guest; Ted Kooser (poet), guest

AND  Early Music With Sara Schneider (EMN 20-23) The Lantins Brothers

Arnold and Hugo de Lantins were among the earliest oltremontano: singers and composers from the Low Countries who dominated the music scene in Italy starting in the late 14th century. Guillaume Dufay even toasted their health in a song called Hé, compaignons. We'll hear sacred and secular works by the Lantins performed by Capilla Flamenca and Le Miroir de Musique.
