The soaring violin solo rises higher and higher, depicting the bird circling above English meadows. From across the Atlantic, Copland's distinctively American soundscape is heard in Appalachian Spring and Hoedown, lively and evocative works. Barber's work for solo soprano paints an idyllic, nostalgic picture of Knoxville, Tennessee in the early twentieth century, evoking warm summer evenings through childhood memories.
