COPLAND, A.: Symphony No. 3 / Billy the Kid Suite (New Zealand Symphony, Judd)

Aaron Copland’s 1938 ballet Billy the Kid is one of three such works that are characteristically American in subject and in music. His Symphony No. 3 of 1946 has no narrative programme, but is also essentially American in its thematic suggestion of folk-song.
