Gary hasn't programmed the National Anthem or "America the Beautiful" for this Friday's Third Streaming on KDRT, but he has put into the mix mostly American composers or pieces with America in mind. For instance, part of Morton Gould's "Declaration Suite," pianist Liz Story's "Myth America," a brass reading of Leonard Bernstein's "America" from West Side Story, Oklahoma-born composer Roy Harris's Symphony # 3 and film music by Aaron Copland for Lewis Milestones's 1949 movie, "The Red Pony." And for a so called bridge in the middle of the show, pianist Zoltan Kocsis plays Debussy's "Reverie" and so does a wind quartet with the great jazz guitarist Barney Kessel up front. Check for the replays of this program here. Enjoy your Independence Day.
