Aaron Copland's Ideas on Film Scores

Season 49 Episode 24

Scott Yoo and Copland expert John Novacek discuss Aaron Copland's film career.

Host Scott Yoo and pianist John Novacek discuss Copland's career as a film composer. Copland was a firm believer in "less is more" in terms of scoring, an idea that can be heard in scores today. To demonstrate this, Novacek and the student orchestra at the Colorado College Music festival perform Copland's "Grover's Corner" from the film "Our Town."
