Taken from his own concert suite (dedicated toŠLeonard Bernstein) of hisfilm score, Copland's own words best describe theŠmusical approach to & ldquo;Grover's Corners.” He explained, “For the filmŠversion, they were counting on the music to translate the transcendentalŠaspects of the story. I tried for clean and clear sounds and in generalŠusedŠstraight-forward harmonies and rhythms that would project the serenity andŠsense of security of the story.”
