## I. Story of Our Town

### Note

THORNTON WILDER'S stage play OUR TOWN is known throughout the United States as a classic of the American theatre. In 1940 the screen version was produced by Mr. Sol Lesser, in close collaboration with the playwright, who prepared the film script. Aaron Copland was asked to supply music for the picture,—music which has since been widely commented upon. The three excerpts from the film score, arranged for piano solo by the composer, were completed in 1944. The publishers believe this to be one of the infrequent instances in which original background music for a Hollywood film has been made generally available.
