Memorial Day
It's Memorial Day, a day on which we honor those men and women who have died in service to their country. From Dublin, Ireland, we'll hear Aaron Copland's memorable "Fanfare for the Common Man," written to inspire Americans during World War II. And the men of Cantus sing Lee Hoiby's "Last Letter Home," a setting of a letter from a U.S. soldier to his family, written just two weeks before he was killed in Iraq. Plus, two performances of Samuel Barber's iconic "Adagio for Strings."
