Billy the Kid | Partitur & Stämmor
Aaron Copland
Editor: Hoffman, Jamin
Instrumentation: string orchestra
Edition: score and parts
These two popular vignettes from the classic American ballet Billy the Kidhave been staples in the orchestral concert repertoire since their introduction in 1940. Now available for string orchestra, the music is distinctively Copland in two contrasting styles–the pastoral innocence of “Prairie Night” (also known as “Card Game at Night”) and the rhythmic, dissonant “Celebration,” depicting the capture of the famed outlaw.
