Back in the year 2000 and/or 1999 Avery Brooks narrated 'Lincoln's Portrait'
by composer Aaron Copland at the "Pops Goes the Fourth" celebration in
Boston (the Boston Pops).
I haven't been able to find a recording of his Boston Pops performance. I'm
not sure, but I think someone narrates "Lincoln's Portrait' every year.
Here's some Boston Pops links:

"Avery Brooks came out to narrate Lincoln Portrait [year 2000]. A few of
his entrances were off, but this was (after all) the rehearsal."

Here's a link to an interview with Aaron Copland by NPR (includes audio of
the third segment of the interview and also 'Lincoln's Portrat', recited by
an NPR reporter [try to imagine it's Avery Brooks])

Here's a 30 second clip from a better version, narrated by Henry Fonda in
1971 (I found this searching Dogpile audio):
