The awesome Fanfare For the Common Man by Aaron Copland. This fanfare was written on request from Eugene Goossens, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, in response to the US entry into the Second World War. During the First World War, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra had asked British composers for a fanfare to begin each orchestral concert. It had been so successful that he thought to repeat the procedure in World War II with American composers. Goossens suggested titles like Fanfare for Soldiers, but Copland gave it the much better title Fanfare for the Common Man. The piece was premiered 12 March 1943 at income tax time, as a homage to the common man. Even though it is american, I think it should be the "official" fanfare for alle the common people in the world. Kind of like they did the moonlanding for all mankind. This is just my personal opinion, and I mean no offence to americans for wanting to "steal" this one. Music Copyrights owned by Sony Music Entertainment.. + Informações

I cut the Simple Gifts section out of Aaron Copeland's Appalachian Spring (not meaning to desecrate a great work) but hopefully the transition doesn't sound too awkward. Please enjoy the photographs by Ansel Adams which accompany the music.. + Informações

Aaron Copland ~ 1900-1990 This is the complete Orchestral Suite, not the Ballet Suite. Copland's "Billy the Kid" was commissioned by Lincoln Kirstein for his ballet company, Ballet Caravan, in 1938. The hope was to create an "American" ballet, to counteract the Russian tradition so popular in ballet for centuries. The result, and I'll quote as I know the music but don't know ballet, was, "the first full-fledged American ballet in style and form as well as content," according to the choreographer of the ballet, Eugene Loring. As I said, I don't know ballet, but I know classical music and this is a wonderful piece of music regardless of the reason for its composition. Presented here is the first of three sections (I seperated them to make them fit YouTube's 10:00 minute reequirement; hope that doesn't ruin the flow) that make up the entire Suite for Orchestra which came directly from the ballet with very little change from the ballet score. The Suite was split in to 7 pieces by Copland and, though I don't know, and I apologize, where each begins or ends, I'm sure my educated guess as to the end of each piece and the beginning of the next is accurate, but I haven't noted my guesses in the video. The sections of Copland's Suite are: I Introduction: The Open Prairie II Street in a Frontier Town III Prairie Night IV Gun Battle V Celebration (after Billy's Capture) VI Billy's Death VII The Open Prairie Again Performing is the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra led by Erich Kunzel. Enjoy!. + Informações

Aaron Copland (1900-1990) Inscape (1967) for orchestra [Inscape] was commisioned by the NYPO in celebration of their 125th anniversary and first performed under the direction of Leonard Bernstein at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on 13 September 1967. Like Copland's previous orchestral work Connotations of 1962, Inscape continues his very personal exploration of serial writing. While rejecting the Schoenbergian aesthetic, Copland has become increasingly intrigued by the Schoenbergian method. As he says in his autobiographical essay 'Composer from Brooklyn', 'I found twelve-tone writing to be especially liberating in two respects; it forces the tonal composer to unconventionalize his thinking with respect to chordal structure, and it tends to freshen his melodic and figurational imagination'. His interpretation of the serial principle is neither dogmatic nor hieratic, but creates and atmosphere in which each of the twelve notes preserves its own individuality and integrity, without, however, being entirely absolved from a certain responsibility towards tonality. Through the single, closely-knit movement of Inscape there is no perceptible contradiction between the serial and diatonic elements, rather they dissolve freely into each other to produce music of stimulating indipendence of spirit. ~ Robert Henderson New York Philharmonic Orchestra/Leonard Bernstein Painting: "Forecast" (2009) by France De Francesca. + Informações
