America in the middle of the 20th Century was buzzing with change. The post-WW II promise of peace and prosperity ushered in an age of new technology, led by advances in science, design, architecture, fashion, and entertainment. As America entered the Space Age, formica, linoleum, aluminum foil, Tupperware, and television came into middle class homes. Clean, structural lines replaced decoration in a style today referred to as Mid-Century Modern.
The musical expressions of mid-century American composers captured the streamlined taste as well as the industrial, smoky bustle of new modern life, while occasionally looking back with fondness at the gentler, slower-paced simplicity of previous generations. Hear some of that Mid-Century sparkle and charm with works by a diverse array of 20th century luminaries, from Charles Mingus to Giancarlo Menotti.
