Folk Music in the Concert Hall

Bernstein shows how folk music themes are reflected in concert music. He illustrates concert music that reflects a certain folk spirit, that contains folkish music material, and that is based upon real folk songs. Includes excerpts from Sinfonia India (Chavez), Symphony no. 39 (Mozart), Songs of the Auvergne (Canteloube), and Symphony no. 2 (Ives). With Marni Nixon, soprano.
