The City is a 1939 documentary directed by Willard Van Dyke which was made for demonstrating on the World's Fair “The World of Tomorrow” (“Naxos Releases The City – 1939 World’s Fair Documentary Film with New Aaron Copland Score”). The movie demonstrates the difference between a rural life and an urban one. The creators do not stand against the city in general, but they do not support modern cities which are polluting he environment and make harm to the nature and human health. It is possibly to

think about our children and grandchildren. And it’s not just climate change, suggests Luke Copland, professor and research chair in glaciology at the University of Ottawa. The devastation created by Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans, or by Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast of the U.S. foreshadows bigger danger. “The really big impacts come when you combine sea level rise with something like a big storm,” Copland told the Star. “If you live in Miami, New York, London, Amsterdam, Bangladesh, New Orleans

I found this piece very interesting; it tells a clear story, and has a dissonant accompanist which makes it sound stylistically similar to the music of musical theatre. The next piece, Zion’s Walls by Aaron Copland, was a mid-tempo spiritual that seemed to continue the story from Wedding Cantata. I appreciated the lively piano accompaniment.
