Virgil Thomson was an excellent composer who captured a uniquely American spirit in his music. Also excellent is "Suite from The River" -- another documentary film financed by New Deal money, this time about the mighty Mississippi if I remember correctly.
A wonderful piece of music and another side of the often UNDERRATED maestro
Thank you so much for uploading!
