===Opera and ballet=== Music that is composed to accompany a ballet is often program music, even when presented separately as a concert piece. [[Aaron Copland]] was amused when a listener said that when she listened to ''[[Appalachian Spring]]'' she "could ''see'' the Appalachians and ''feel'' Spring", the title having been a last-minute thought, but it is certainly program music. [[Film score]]s and the orchestration in operas are very often program music, and some film scores, such as [[Sergei Prokofiev|Prokofiev]]'s music for ''Alexander Nevsky'', have even found a place in the classical concert repertoire.
