Lincoln Portrait

There was a PBS documentary done a long time ago called Lincoln - the best I've seen. The composer, Alan Menken, is quite influenced by Copland's works, but his score was better than Copland - more dramatic, heroic, cohesive, melodic... unforgettable. It is a difficult score to find but well worth it. I think if you enjoy Copland you will enjoy Menken's Lincoln even more. Some of the most powerful and stirring music I've heard.

this is still thrilling after all these years

GAY!
