Thank you so much for posting this beautiful performance on this 4th of July. Aaron Copland was the pure essence of American music, played and enjoyed by people all over the world. And the words of Abrham Lincoln were more than just words, they were the essence of the American dream.

Copland continues one of the best traditions of Western music: to look to its folk music roots for new inspiration and ideas to add to its musical tapestry. Given the zeitgeist, this piece should be performed more often to remind us to cherish the gifts and freedoms we have inherited from the generations before.

[@gerthenriksen8818]

Agree. But actually, it is performed quite often all over the world. Every year at least because it is such a powerfull piece and statement.

Aaron Copeland s music has that distinct America flavor about it

Weak music creation - a composition for cowboys. It is no wonder that it is extremely rarely performed. Maybe it fits the philharmonic from Birobidjan... In reality, Copeland tried to create by caressing the American crest.

Sir, you are a very sad person. And most likely you are an antisemite and a commie.
