Aaron Copland

The Tender Land: Act II, Finale
2.
Appalachian Spring: I. Very slowly. Introduction of the characters, one by one, in a suffused light
3.
Appalachian Spring: II. Fast. Sudden burst of unison strings in A major arpeggios starts the action. A sentiment both elated and religious gives the keynote to this scene.
4.
Appalachian Spring: III. Moderate. Duo for the Bride and her Intended – scene of tenderness and passion.
5.
Appalachian Spring: IV. Quite fast. The Revivalist and his flock. Folksy feeling – suggestions of square dances and country fiddlers.
6.
Appalachian Spring: V. Still faster. Solo dance of the Bride – presentiment of motherhood. Extremes of joy and fear and wonder.
7.
Appalachian Spring: VI. Very slowly (as at first). Transition scene to music reminiscent of the introduction.
8.
Appalachian Spring: VI. Shaker, Calm and flowing. Scenes of daily activity for the Bride and her Farmer husband.
9.
Appalachian Spring: VII Moderate. Coda. The Bride takes her place among her neighbors. At the end the couple are left "quiet and strong in their new house."
10.
The Tender Land: Act I, Introduction and Love Music
11.
The Tender Land: Act II, The Party Scene
