Carl Sandburg was the recipient of three Pulitzer Prizes – two for his poetry, and a third for his landmark biography of Abraham Lincoln. His musical influence was also considerable. Enjoy three works inspired by Sandburg’s writings: Leo Sowerby’s “The Prairie,” a piece evocative of the American heartland, and two appropriate for Memorial Day, Romeo Cascarino’s “Blades of Grass” and Roy Harris’ Symphony No. 6, “Gettysburg.” There will be plenty to remember, with Carl Sandburg, this Sunday at 10 pm.
