Paul Bunyan
(redirected from Babe the Blue Ox)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

Paul Bunyan

Choral operetta in two acts and a prologue by Benjamin Britten (libretto by W H Auden), produced at Columbia University, New York, on 5 May 1941. The plot, based on American colonists' tall tales of a giant lumberjack named Paul Bunyan, has strong Christian overtones and reflected both Britten and Auden's desire to be accepted in the USA; the music also gently parodies US music from blues to Aaron Copland.
