Description Aaron Copland in an arrangement by Leonard Bernstein. Adelaide Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hannu Lintu, Adelaide Chamber Singers directed by Carl Crossin, Brighton Secondary School Treble Choir directed by Michael Griffin and students of Flinders Drama Centre directed by Julie Holledge. Narrated by James Aubrey with John Drummond on the Theremin. "This early work of Copland sets a story of American college students elected to travel to the scene of natural disaster to help the victims. In the process they encounter their own dire and dramatic emergency. A huge and highly accessible oratorio about courage and crisis. Big theme, big sound."
