Lincoln Portrait

"But when he spoke of democracy, this is what he said... This is what Abe Lincoln said." So narrates Adlai Stevenson, as Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra bring us Aaron Copland's "Lincoln Portrait." As we continue to explore our rich American musical heritage, we offer you a wide range of genres and styles, such as Zez Confrey's urbane and witty "Moods of a New Yorker," Gershwin's symphonic pictures of "Porgy and Bess," William Grant Still's evocation of "The Southwest," and two groups of songs with texts by Emily Dickinson from Copland and Andre Previn.
