Information

------------------------------



Awarded three Emmys and hailed by Variety as "a rare moment in the symbiosis of the arts and broadcasting", Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts left their mark on television history. Aired at prime-time on CBS from 1958 to 1972, 52 one-hour programs were written and hosted by Leonard Bernstein, "certainly the most influential American maestro of the 20th century" (The New York Times). With the New York Philharmonic and guest artists providing live music, these programs brought musical concepts and music history to life for generations of viewers.



Ep. 2 - What is American Music?



From Carnegie Hall, Bernstein discusses the origins and characteristics of American music. After an extended excerpt from George Gershwin's An American in Paris and a discussion of nationalistic and folk music, excerpts from compositions by American composers Edward MacDowell, William Schuman, Virgil Thomson and others are performed. In closing, Aaron Copland conducts part of his own Third Symphony.
