Every weekday morning at 10 a.m., the hosts at Classical MPR play a stand-out work based on the theme for the week. We call them Morning Glories.
This week, we'll celebrate spring in our Morning Glories. It's about time!
Monday
Nielsen: Springtime in Funen
Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus/Leif Segerstam
As "Voices of Spring" continues to celebrate choral music, we'll hear Nielsen's postcard from the Funen region of Denmark.
Tuesday
Moeran: Songs of Springtime
East London Chorus
We'll conclude our month of choral Morning Glories with this setting of springtime poems by English poets.
Wednesday
Mozart: String Quartet No. 14 ("Spring")
Emerson Quartet
Thursday
Vivaldi, recomposed by Max Richter: Spring, from The Four Seasons
Daniel Hope, violin; Berlin Concert House Chamber Orchestra
If you've heard Vivaldi's original, you'll hear something familiar, and some surprises, in Richter's re-composition.
Friday
Copland: Appalachian Spring
The Knights
A classic take on spring by a New York composer, here played by a young New York orchestra.
