KQAC (Portland, OR)
- Ashokan Farewell-Jay Ungar & Molly Mason (A pastoral-sounding waltz, with added gravity from the Nashville Chamber Orchestra.)
- Frederic Hand: A Psalm Of Thanksgiving (Frederic Hand, guitar; Jayna Nelson, flute) (This duo handles the piece's birdlike rhythms deftly.)
- John Rutter: Now Thank We All Our God (Cambridge Singers, City Of London Sinfonia/John Rutter, conductor) (A regal interpretation, with an appropriate flourish of trumpets.)
- Dear Old Friend-Patty Griffin (Sorrowful yet cautiously optimistic lyrics about patching things up with someone, sung beautifully.)
- Going Home-Charlie Haden & Hank Jones (A warm, contemplative piece for piano and bass.)
- Comin' Home Baby-Booker T. & The MGs (Cool, sly organ and guitar riffs, fitting as a prelude to or playoff of Steely Dan's "Babylon Sisters.")
- You've Got A Friend In Me-Randy Newman (This 1995 Newman composition could pass for a '40s tap dance number.)
