Description

|
|
|
The focus of this DVD is the music of young men in a young country: individualists and innovators who also drew from the music of the past and from other cultures. Jazz, military bands, country dances, German Expressionism, and minimalism all contribute to a dazzling display of energy and virtuosity in American music. Compositions excerpted include Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue; Ives' Decoration Day; Cage's First Construction in Metal; Feldman's Mme. Press Died Last Week at 90; Riley's In C; Adams' Harmonium; Copland's Appalachian Spring; Weill's "Lonely House" from Street Scene; and Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story.
