In 1936, and 38, the “young” Aaron Copland would have been 36 and 38 to Virgil’s 40 and 42. Incidentally, Copland’s earlier film music, for The City, followed in the same year by Of Mice and Men, dates from 1939. Another example which Virgil liked to point to of his getting there before Copland did (other examples were ballet and using folk material). But even if Copland was following in Virgil’s footsteps, he was doing so as a contemporary.
