Picture this! Aaron Copland paints a vivid, sizzling, musical landscape in his Three Latin-American Sketches, followed by James Beckel's lively and rhythmic "In The Mind's Eye: Images for Horns and Orchestra" featuring the illustrious Philharmonic Horn Section. Mussorgsky's masterpiece, Pictures at an Exhibition, brings to glorious life images of scampering children and chicks hatching, of mysterious catacombs and a monstrous hut, all leading to a great gate of mythical proportions.
