Wind and Rhythm: Labor omnia vincit (Work conquers all)

Celebrate Labor Day with band music by Kimberly Archer, Louis Andriessen, Felicia Sandler, and Leonard Bernstein.

This week we are celebrating Labor Day with songs about the American worker.

It was 1894 that Congress passed and President Grover Cleveland signed into law an act making the first Monday in September a legal holiday to honor workers.

To join in with that celebration, we’ll hear music inspired by workers.

Listen Friday at 8 p.m. or Sunday at noon.

Playlist
Louis Andriessen, Workers Union
Kimberly Archer, American Labor Songs
Felicia Sandler, Rosie the Riveter
Leonard Bernstein, Suite from "On the Waterfront"
