Every weekday morning at 10 a.m., the hosts at Classical MPR play a standout work based on the theme for the week. We call them Morning Glories.
For this week's Morning Glories, we're off to London, bringing you highlights of the BBC Proms.
Actually, we'll be bringing you music from the Proms daily for the next three weeks in the 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. hours — it is the largest classical music festival in the world, after all!
Monday
Arcangelo Corelli: Concerto Grosso, Op. 6, no. 1
Academy of Ancient Music/Richard Egarr
Music from one of the leading composers of the Baroque, played by one of the world's leading early-music ensembles.
Tuesday
Music of Renaissance Poland
Huelgas Ensemble/Paul Van Nevel
These selections, discovered in Polish archives, include the earliest surviving piece set to a Polish text.
Wednesday
Edvard Grieg: Selections Tine Thing Helseth/tenThing
Here are some dynamic young brass players from Norway, performing music of their countryman Grieg.
Thursday
Edward Elgar: Nursery Suite
BBC Concert Orchestra/Barry Wordsworth
This year, you'll hear lots of great British music throughout the festival — not just on the famous "Last Night of the Proms."
Friday
Eric Coates: The Three Elizabeths
BBC Concert Orchestra/Barry Wordsworth
A suite by England's master of light music; we know the "three Elizabeths" as Queen Elizabeth I, the Queen Mother, and Queen Elizabeth II.
