1 Appalachian Spring: I. Very slowly. Introduction of the characters, one by one, in a suffused light 3:01

2 Appalachian Spring: II. Fast. Sudden burst of unison strings in A major arpeggios starts the action. A sentiment both elated and religious gives the keynote to this scene. 2:56

3 Appalachian Spring: III. Moderate. Duo for the Bride and her Intended – scene of tenderness and passion. 3:54

4 Appalachian Spring: IV. Quite fast. The Revivalist and his flock. Folksy feeling – suggestions of square dances and country fiddlers. 3:30

5 Appalachian Spring: V. Still faster. Solo dance of the Bride – presentiment of motherhood. Extremes of joy and fear and wonder. 4:02

6 Appalachian Spring: VI. Very slowly (as at first). Transition scene to music reminiscent of the introduction. 1:17

7 Appalachian Spring: VI. Shaker, Calm and flowing. Scenes of daily activity for the Bride and her Farmer husband. 3:04
