Beef, it's whats for dinner.

Today, the vast majority of NY Philharmonic members are women; a great majority of the members are racially non-Caucasian.

2024 and this still resonates a musical tribute to a GREAT COMPOSER. We are so fortunate to have Aaron in our lifetime.❤❤❤

I was waiting for Leonard to tell Aaron he was playing it wrong.

Theme song for the series called "Chisolm." The West Virginia University marching band use to play the iconic 25:47 refrain at about 21:20 for every football game. Don't know if they still do.

It’s much better and livelier than his late performance.

Peerless performance, thank you!

This one made me weep. So much gone--including the genre itself. But, fortunately, so much preserved.

Quelle oeuvre est-il en train de composer au début de l'interview ?

The kids they showed were so immersed in the music. Not one looked bored. Not one fidgeting. They had an appreciation for classical music. I don't think many kids today have patience for great music such like this.

😊 😊

A true genius

"Beef. It's What's for Dinner" is an American advertising slogan and campaign aimed at promoting the consumption of beef.[1] The ad campaign was launched in 1992 by the National Livestock and Meat Board and is funded by the Beef Checkoff Program with the creative guidance of VMLY&R. History The campaign was launched the week of May 18, 1992 by the Chicago-based National Livestock and Meat Board through a promotional arm, "The Beef Industry Council",[2] by the advertising firm of Leo Burnett Company. The "Beef. It's What's For Dinner" campaign was established through television and radio advertisements that featured actor Robert Mitchum as its first narrator,[3] and scenarios and music ("Hoe-Down") from the Rodeo suite by Aaron Copland,[4] followed by a large magazine campaign that was rolled out in late July and early August.[2]

Copland, in his autobiography, wrote of the request: "Eugene Goossens, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, had written to me at the end of August about an idea he wanted to put into action for the 1942-43 concert season. During World War I he 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". A total of 10 fanfares[1] were written at Goossens' behest, but Copland's is the only one which remains in the standard repertoire. Initial trumpet notes from Fanfare for the Common Man, Copland Memorial Garden, Tanglewood It was written in response to the US entry into World War II and was inspired in part by a famous 1942 speech[2] where vice president Henry A. Wallace proclaimed the dawning of the "Century of the Common Man".[3] Goossens had suggested titles such as Fanfare for Soldiers, or sailors or airmen, and he wrote that "[i]t is my idea to make these fanfares stirring and significant contributions to the war effort...." Copland considered several titles including Fanfare for a Solemn Ceremony and Fanfare for Four Freedoms; to Goossens' surprise, however, Copland titled the piece Fanfare for the Common Man. Goossens wrote, "Its title is as original as its music, and I think it is so telling that it deserves a special occasion for its performance. If it is agreeable to you, we will premiere it 12 March 1943 at income tax time". Copland's reply was "I [am] all for honoring the common man at income tax time".[4] Copland later used the fanfare as the main theme of the fourth movement of his Third Symphony (composed between 1944 and 1946).

If there is ever a Mt Rushmore of composers, Copeland deserves to be part of it.

Maestro, You are unmatched.

I love Jamie Berstein's voice. I wish there were more videos or recordings of her singing.

The performance is sublime. Just beautiful. His vision. An American treasure!

2:22 this should be called "Man Casually Eats His Bassoon Infront Of Composer Igor Stravinsky"

never saw him actually smile before. he is a great composer but i think Bernstein put more emotion and energy into conducting Coplands works.

Trumpet trio- “Fanfare for St. Edmundsbury”: Exquisite music and a literal BLAST blast to play!!!

"BBC Chorus & Choral Society ...... London Philharmonic Chorus"

Ist wirklich witzig. Der Komponist ist witzig. Bringt Humor in die Musik. Schön dass es ihn gab. Wie auch ,,Bought me a Cat...'' ist sehr lustig.

Carry on Composing, Sid!

did this dude really send nudes to debussy

Simply amazing! Thanks for sharing, John!

Es interesante su forma de dirigir...

Shame on Betty for not mentioning that Bernstein went to Boston Latin, and then to Harvard and Curtis.

If I was going to describe the idea the pops in my head as the song is playing it would be, America. The American spirit never settling always moving forward to find someone or something to hold on to, to use as fuel for the next great adventure. God, I love it and BEEF it's what's for dinner.

Everyone has such wonderful comments. I'll be here all night giving Thumbs up.

I have to say I wouldn't want to hear that again! Hardly great music. Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff were much better composers.

I clicked just to hear Fanfare for the Common Man. The surprise of seeing Aaron Copland was so very fantastic!

One of America' Best Composers!

4:58 UKRAINIAN. Back in that days when he was born - NO ONE new about russians - this term simply did NOT exist.

What a shame that Rodgers' collaberation with Alan Jay Lerner didn't work out! The show they tried, but failed to write together was called *I Picked a Daisy,* and after the Rodgers & Lerner partnership dissolved, it eventually became *On a Clear Day You Can See Forever,* with music by Burton Lane.

Thank you for cutting it short. Such an overrated piece

I love watching these pre 61 ny phil concerts when great clarinetist, Mcginnis was playing principal and old nanny goat drucker is sitting last chair playing e flat where he should have stayed...you can just see nanny goat looking angry and thinking to himself " I can do better than that"

I played this in my high school orchestra in Carnegie Hall.

He doesn’t appear to need the score! 😆. Gosh what a treat, even privilege, to see Stravinsky conduct.

Maestro Copeland conducts as if he’s riding a horse at gallop.

2:00 Orchestra hit sample

is it just me or does bernstein kind of sound like rod sterling on a little bit of helium

Copeland and Bernstein. 2 all time Great musicians 🙏 just beautiful❤

Fantastico: Copland dirige se stesso in modo esemplare ed è bellissimo come si porge con l'orchestra un vero GRANDE.

American vitality greatness! Composer. Music. Performers. Performance. All wow.

I always visit the Copland statue at Tanglewood over by the grape arbor. It always gives me the chills. That man is and always will be a true national treasure. The sculpture is fantastic also.

Thanks for this - such a young Stephen and his views on his own work. And so interesting how the style of singing has changed over the years. ZT'l Stephen, you live one through your words and music.

This is Bernstein
