'Letter from Home was commissioned as a patriotic work in 1944 by Paul Whiteman and his Radio Hall of Fame Orchestra. Composed toward the end of the Second World War, this music suggests the emotions of a soldier reading aletter from home. The music has been described as Copland's 'most sentimental' and reflects his own homesickness while visiting Mexico.
