Updated Nov. 6, 2025: As America gears up for Thanksgiving, try this wide ranging feast of homegrown music – from classics by Copland, Bernstein and Gershwin to deeper cuts by Jessie Montgomery, Art Tatum, David Lang, Connie Converse, John Cage and Erroll Garner.

Need a deep discovery experience? Try 1,000 years of music in this playlist from NPR Classical's Tom Huizenga, which explores everything from new releases to old favorites, and classics from the dawn of the recording era. Our mantra: Bach, Beethoven, before and beyond.
