0:00 - The action begins and closes on the open prairie. It depicts the loneliness of the landscape and the trekking of the pioneers. 3:27 - Billy is seen for the first time as a boy of twelve with his mother. 8:42 - A brawl turns ugly, guns are drawn, and in some unaccountable way Billy's mother is killed. (She actually dies from tuberculosis) 9:13 Without an instant's hesitation, in cold fury, Billy draws a knife from a cowhand's sheath and stabs his mother's slayers. His short but famous career has begun. 9:54 - In swift succession we see episodes in Billy's later life. At night, under the stars, in a quiet card game with his outlaw friends. 12:55 - Hunted by a posse led by his former friend, Pat Garrett, Billy is pursued. A running battle ensues. 14:48 - Billy is captured. A drunken celebration takes place. Billy in prison is, of course, followed by one of Billy's legendary escapes. 17:05 - Tired and worn in the desert, Billy rests with his girl. Starting from a deep sleep, he senses movement in the shadows. The posse has finally caught up with him. The mournful melody is decorated with tears from a solo violin 18:28 - Copland’s suite ends with an epilogue, “The Open Prairie Again,” and a return to the initial theme in the horns. The work culminates in a stirring climax for full orchestra.
