Morton Gould and His Orchestra - Gould: Billy The Kid/ Rodeo/Copland -

RCA Living Stereo · 200 Gram Vinyl · Remastered at 33 1/3 RPM

Morton Gould leads vivid, idiomatic readings of two of Aaron Copland's most beloved ballet scores. Built on Western and cowboy melodies, Billy the Kid gave American musical nationalism a tremendous boost with its jaunty, atmospheric writing, while Rodeo — among the liveliest things Copland ever wrote — closes with the irresistible "Hoe-Down."
