Concentrating on Copland: William Warfield sings his "Old American Songs"; Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops give us a rousing "Billy the Kid"; James Sedares leads the Phoenix Symphony in the suite from the television opera "The Tender Land"; and finally, Hugh Wolff and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra bring us the familiar and favorite "Appalachian Spring." In addition, the voices of Charles Ives, Roy Harris, Amy Beach, Joan Tower, and Stephen Foster are also heard. Join our American-music celebration and bask in the beauty of these extraordinary works..
