CELLULOID COPLAND: WORLD PREMIERE FILM MUSIC

Although I’m a fan of Aaron Copeland’s music, I found this CD of his “lost” film music pretty much a bore. Music Copeland wrote to accompany “From Sorcery to Science,” “The City (Suite),” “The Cummington Story (Suite, Arr Sheffer),” and “The North Star (Suite)” sounds too brassy to my ears. The Eos Orchestra plays these pieces well, but the result is a dull sameness. The CD lasts about an hour, but I found myself constantly looking at my watch. GRADE: C
