Its five movements describe 1) The River, with quickened tempo as it surges past Bear Mountain, and broad majesty as it reaches the Palisades; 2) Hendrick Hudson, the intrepid explorer, portrayed in horns and woodwinds and thundering percussion, often wistful because of his tragic end; 3) Rip Van Winkle, a clever description of the Washington Irving tale, in which Rip whistles...
