Production: Roman KroitorTom Daly
Script: Donald Brittain
Produced by the Natioonal Film Board of Canada in cooperation with the CBC.
An informal study of the great but extremely human dean of modern composers, a man past eighty, full of the joy of life and, though proudly American, still very much an Old World figure with a long and alert memory for people and events in music, literature and art. The main focus of the film is Igor Stravinsky conducting the CBC Symphony Orchestra in a recording of his Symphony of Psalms.
