The National Parks: America's Best Idea

[editorLA]

Can anyone identify that Copeland-sounding orchestral theme on the PBS promo for "The National Parks - America's Best Idea - a Film by Ken Burns" ?

Shazzam doesn't recognize it.

Thanks !

I would like to know the name of this music also, if you were referring to this one:

I had recorded both versions of this commercial, but was worried about uploading it to youtube because of copyrights. I thank the PBS affiliate in Columbus, Ohio for uploading it, because I don't expect their upload to violate copyright.

In the 1915-1919 segment of the series, think you are referring to Aaron Copland's Our Town??
I did NOT recognize this specific orchastration/version of the WOSU trailer (above) -- but I may have it. I heard excerpts of other Copland works -- within the series music.
Ken Burns MAY have used different orchastrations of the same Copland piece.

Thanks for helping out.

I think I've heard the exact same music that's in the WOSU commercial a few years ago, but I've never been able to find out what it was called. It would be great if you could find it.
