Music
Haggin, B. H. | July 17, 1943 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses performing arts. Wishing to avoid composers William Schuman's "Newsreel" and Roy Harris's "Ode to Truth," which conductor Morton Gould concluded first at his July 4, 1943 Stadium concert, the author tuned in late, and missed the beginning of the Suite from composer Aaron Copland's music for "Billy the Kid." Most of it turned out to be excellent music to listen to without the ballet but some of it, for the episode of the girls in red tights, and for the gun battle, needed the action to have point. This music might have been omitted; and certainly the music of the pas de deux should have been included.
