Symphony no. 3

Album by Aaron Copland & San Francisco Symphony & Michael Tilson Thomas

Symphony No. 3 is a symphony by American composer Aaron Copland, completed in 1946. The three-movement orchestral work combines expansive, open textures and accessible melodic material with prominent brass and percussion writing and a hymn-like final section, representing a culmination of Copland's populist period and his move toward large-scale symphonic forms in mid-20th-century American music.
