Quiet City

Album by Aaron Copland & Christopher Brellochs & Paul Cohen

Quiet City is a composition by American composer Aaron Copland, reworked as a concert piece in 1940. Scored for trumpet, English horn and string orchestra, it features spare, nocturnal textures and lyrical melodic writing that reworks earlier incidental theatre music into a concise orchestral vignette situated between Copland's theatrical output and his later orchestral style.
