Lincoln's Birthday
Today is the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln, a great man who inspired greatness in others. Today we'll take a look at some of the music that Lincoln inspired, from Aaron Copland's stirring "Lincoln Portrait" (featuring our own Fred Child as narrator) to tributes by Paul Hindemith and Robert Russell Bennett. We'll also feature a performance from New York City's Lincoln Center, named for the 16th president of the United States.
