Veterans Day 2011
Samuel Barber's "Night Flight," inspired by his army experiences in World War II, captures the mood of a nighttime mission. Alone at night, lost in the inky darkness of the sky. Flying over an unknown landscape, filled with unseen enemies. We'll hear it, in honor of Veterans Day today. Plus, Lee Hoiby's moving "Last Letter Home," sung by the men's vocal ensemble Cantus.
