Prelude, Act 1
Aaron Copland
GENRE
ACT ONE: Scene 1
(A middle-west farm house and yard. The child, Beth, is dancing by herself, acknowledging a doll as a partner. Ma Moss is seated on the porch rocker and is sewing.)
[BETH]
When I grow up will you take me
To live in a big house? With a big lawn?
I'd like a big fountain and a pool
A pool with lots of carrot-fish
I'd like that, Daniel
We'll sit in a big swing, like's in the order catalogue, and swing, and
Swing, and swing, and swing…
(The daydream once again sets her to dancing.)
