Thanksgiving: A Windham Hill Collection
Thanksgiving: A Windham Hill Collection Thanksgiving generally is a pleasant and likeable affair. Its features include a charming, gently propulsive take on the traditional piece "Allelujah" by Celtic harpist Lisa Lynne; a delicate rendering of "Amazing Grace" by John Doan on a 20-string harp guitar; and a church-ready version of "We Gather Together" by a trio of Paul McCandless (oboe), Philip Aaberg (piano), and Michael Manring (bass). A midalbum three-song stretch, though--from the heavy stringing (cello, violin, guitar) of William Coulter and Barry Phillips to R. Carlos Nakai's flute soliloquy to a saxophone meditation by Paul Winter--lingers overly long in a melancholy state. Later, a thoughtful harmonica outing by former Lovin' Spoonful member John Sebastian aims for Americana yet delivers more spaghetti Western. Still, the album ends with pieces by Will Ackerman and George Winston--and what could be more classic than that? --Terry Wood

Little Pilgrim's Progress: From John Bunyan's Classic (The Message)
Little Pilgrim's Progress: From John Bunyan's Classic (The Message) Fifty-five years ago, Helen L. Taylor took John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress and simplified the vocabulary and concepts for young readers, while keeping the storyline intact. The result was a classic in itself, which has now sold over 600,000 copies. It’s both a simple adventure story and a profound allegory of the Christian journey through life, a delightful read with a message kids ages 6 to 12 can understand and remember. A new look and fresh illustrations for today’s children enlivens the journey to the Celestial City.

. . . If You Sailed on the Mayflower in 1620
. . . If You Sailed on the Mayflower in 1620 What kind of ship was the Mayflower? How did the Pilgrims feel when they saw land? What was the first building in Plymouth? In lively question-and-answer style, this fact-filled book answers all sorts of questions about the Pilgrims' journey on the Mayflower and their first year in America.

Boys and girls will find out why the Pilgrims left England to live in America, what they took with them on board the Mayflower, and the hardships they endured. They'll learn what the Mayflower Compact was, how the Pilgrims made a peace treaty with the Indians, and how these brave settlers managed to survive in their new land.

Ms McGovern has carefully researched the Pilgrims' journey and their first year in America. Her portrayal is full of fascinating detail about their everyday life. Young readers will be intrigued to discover that Pilgrim boys and girls slept on corn husk mattresses they made themselves, and that most of the houses had only one chair -- which was reserved for the man of the house!

The humorous, true-to-life illustrations serve as effective complements to the informative, fun-to-read text.

Ives: Holidays Symphony
Ives: Holidays Symphony Ives never really intended his four holiday symphonic poems to be played together, and they are very seldom performed that way live. But it makes so much sense to group them on a recording that the Holidays Symphony has become the standard way to refer to the music. In any event, all four pieces offer some of Ives'ss finest, most imaginative work. The Fourth of July is the second most complex and crazy piece that he ever wrote--right up there with the second movement of the Fourth Symphony. Tilson Thomas is very much a specialist in this music, and he directs performances of almost supernatural accuracy. Simply the best. --David Hurwitz

Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day Strictly speaking, there's only one new song on this EP. The pounding "London Song" and gentle "Storyteller" are bonus studio tracks from 1998's music-and-spoken-word show The Storyteller, while the swinging, big-band "Yours Truly, Confused N10"--recorded with Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra--originally appeared on the latter's Small World Big Band, Vol. 2: More Friends four years later. But the title track--a teaser for Ray Davies's debut solo album, Other People's Lives--is all new. Nothing like the music hall of Davies's Kinks heyday, "Thanksgiving Day" is, rather, a brassy Southern soul ballad that sounds like something off Exile on Main Street or Otis Blue. Meanwhile, Davies's gift for wistful songcraft hasn't departed him, as he tells us that on this fourth November Thursday, "A lonely spinster prays / for a handsome lover and a passionate embrace, and kisses all over her American face." If this is any indication of the full album's quality, Davies fans are in for a real treat. --Benjamin Lukoff

Beethoven for Babies
Beethoven for Babies For the parent looking to ease their child into a familiarity with classical music, this is a very well chosen set of Beethoven works. It begins with a generous selection of airs composed late in the composer's life. The presence of the flute as the lead instrument on these selections has a soothing quality that moves the ear in an ideally subtle way, especially as it gives way to the more excited piano sonata pieces. Zoltán Kocsis's reading of "Pathétique" is followed by Claudio Arrau's take on the 7th, 15th, and 18th sonatas and Sviatoslav Richter's lyrical take on the 20th ("Pastoral"). Programmed amidst the piano pieces, which are great studies in dynamics and musical spacing, are some fine orchestral snippets, none longer than five minutes. The collection does a fine balancing act, condensing works that don't inherently lend themselves to shortened renditions and carefully managing moods, entry, and egress to each segment. This is fine anthology work. --Andrew Bartlett

Amy Beach: Songs
Amy Beach: Songs One of America's most prolific and successful composers, Mrs H. H. A. ("Amy") Beach was one of the first women composers whose works were as highly regarded as those produced by men. Best known during her lifetime for her well-crafted songs and short piano pieces, she was also the first American woman to compose in the larger forms. Beach's 117 art songs span the whole of her compositional career. By incorporating musical ideas from many cultures and musical traditions within a late-Romantic framework, Beach's songs show her skillful craftsmanship and profound understanding of text.

Boult Conducts Vaughan Williams
Boult Conducts Vaughan Williams No conductor is more closely identified with the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams than Sir Adrian Boult, who twice recorded all the symphonies as well as other major works. His 1949 recording of the powerful Sixth Symphony captures the potent emotions of the work to a far greater degree than did his later EMI stereo recording. A welcome bonus is Boult's 1950 remake of the driving Scherzo, incorporating the composer's revisions. A Song of Thanksgiving is an incidental work commissioned by the BBC to celebrate the end of World War II. Despite moments of interest, it is not representative of VW at his best. The Lark Ascending, however, is one of the composer's most beautiful works, and it's given a performance of rapt intensity by Boult and violin soloist Jean Pougnet. --Dan Davis
