· Aaron Copland wrote his rarely-heard ballet Hear Ye! Hear
Ye! for Ruth Page, the dancer and choreographer who was to
become the Grande Dame of American ballet.
· Its scenario is a murder in a nightclub and the ensuing trial
in a Chicago courtroom.
· Copland infused the score with the spirit of his jazz-
influenced pieces, controversially distorting part of the
National Anthem, and infiltrating music from some of his
earlier works.
· In complete contrast, Appalachian Spring is his most
famous work, a true American masterpiece founded on
transfigured dance tunes and song melodies.
· This is volume two of the Complete Ballet series. Volume
one is on 8559758
