...York by the smooth-talking Sportin' Life, Porgy quixotically sets out after her in his goat cart. Porgy is a relic of the first important period in American opera, the '30s-a decade that also saw Louis Gruenberg's The Emperor Jones and Howard Hanson's Merry Mount. Other composers who have tried their hand at native grand opera include William Schuman, Aaron Copland, Douglas Moore, Samuel Barber, Roger Sessions and the prolific Gian Carlo Menotti. But few of their works are frequently heard. The American national opera remains an elusive ideal, and even Porgy...

...large sums of money out of Uncle Sam at tax time. Says William J. Anderson, the director of the General Accounting Office's general government division: "Extensive evidence shows that non-compliance among both corporate and individual taxpayers is a serious problem, and is getting worse." Adds Theodore Hanson, a partner in the accounting firm of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co.: "Both tax avoidance and nonreporting are on the rise. With tax brackets rising so high, so fast, more people have the attitude of evade...
...last survivors, along with Copland and Sessions, of an important generation of composers that included Walter Piston, Roy Harris, Douglas Moore, Howard Hanson and Leo Sowerby, Thomson's lasting contributions are likely to be the two operas he wrote with Stein (the second was the 1947 The Mother of Us All) and his criticism. Critic Thomson cheerfully concurs about the operas, at least: "I think I am a good opera composer. There have been some 3,000 performances of The Mother of Us All. It makes you know it is foolproof."

...most important, Serge Koussevitzky. During his 25-year reign-from 1924 to 1949-Koussevitzky. During his 25-year reign-from 1924 to 1949 - Koussevitzky presented 125 world premieres, aggressively supporting American music and taking a whole generation of composers, including such disparate figures as Aaron Copland and Howard Hanson, under his wing. Continuing this tradition, the B.S.O. is celebrating its birthday by commissioning twelve new works from leading international composers; after all, this is the orchestra responsible for such masterpieces as Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra and Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms...
