 Randall Thompson Centenary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
Thompson was also a fluent symphonist, writing the kind of music that was felt to be particularly American in the 1930s and 40s - spacious and diatonic, close to Roy Harris or Rubbra, but without the individuality of Copland or the polish of Piston.

Thompson was born in New York into a New England family and went to a school in New Jersey where his father taught English.
