Americana - Songs and Music from Times Gone By

Excerpts from a musical celebration of American culture based on the songs and music of two of America's greatest composers, Aaron Copland (Old American Songs) and George Gerswhin (Preludes 1-3), including stories of the people who played and sange and loved it, and of the times they lived in. John Paval, tenor. David Triestram, at the piano. Of particular interest is the fact that the Copland songs are presented in the only recently available transcription for the higher tenor voice, which lends a different tone to the entire song cycle.
