Pilgrims and Pioneers is a symphonic poem written by the American composer Virgil Thomson. The music was originally composed as a score to the one-reel immigration film Journey to America, which was made for the 1964 New York World's Fair by Thomson's frequent collaborator John Houseman. However, Thomas later adapted the music for concert performances under the title Pilgrims and Pioneers. This version was first performed by the Mozart Festival Orchestra conducted by Baird Hastings on February 27, 1971.
