There Really IS Music for Thanksgiving

We've been pushing the Over the River & Through the Woods album for most of this month, but there is a Reason! Most people think that there is nothing out there that can be considered "Thanksgiving Music." So, we are trying to show that there is an album of music that will get you in the mood for this coming Thursday!

Today we even read a blog from the New Haven Symphony bemoaning the fact that Thanksgiving is overlooked. The post is called "What is up With Thanksgiving Music?"

So once again, here is our answer to that question:

Over the River & Through the Woods

On a chilly November evening, the Hopeful Gospel Quartet — Garrison Keillor, Mollie O’Brien and Robin & Linda Williams — traded musical moments with the VocalEssence Chorus and Ensemble Singers in a concert at Orchestra Hall, Minneapolis. The evening seamlessly blended American folk traditions with choral masterpieces old and new, from “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” to “Now Thank We All Our God.” Garrison Keillor shared his Thanksgiving memories in a hilarious yet poignant monologue. Thanks to Minnesota Public Radio, the evening was captured for posterity in this charming two-CD set.
