My introduction to Copland came in college as a music piano student that played 4 piano Blues # 3, then heard Appalachian Springs and never looked back....his music speaks of simplicity, honor, hard work, and the joys in the natural beauty in my opinion

Holly F I cant believe I found this!!!!! It's like a conversation with Mozart. Our 20 century composers Prokofiev, Stravinsk, etc... were given the opportunity of melodic freedom and they ran with it. Unfortunately your ears have not come of age, but you'll come around. It may take another 100 years.

Fantastic. sad as it was that he stopped composing so early, it's wonderful to see this great man, the composer of Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid and Rodeo talking so naturally.

A uniquely American genius...a man and talent for the ages. How brave he was to write things like Appalachian Spring and Rodeo that were so unconventionally beautiful. My favorite is the Grover's Corners suite, which seems to me the most tender depiction of the cycles of life. Bravo Mr. Copland...the public remembers you and loves you still.❤️

So happy to have found this!! Although... "No women Beethovens and Bachs...for some extraordinary reason which nobody seems to understand." Is he being sarcastic? Or just reallly ignorant? Shocked to consider the latter option from the mouth of a genius. Or, perhaps, the evidence we have today of these women writing at an equal level (Mayer's eight symphonies, von Bingen laying the early foundations of harmony, Farrenc...) was just not known to him?

Aaron Copland - a true American Treasure! The Lincoln Portrait. The Clarinet Concerto. The Piano Variations. Amazing American music! His bust in the garden at Tanglewood is so simple and beautiful and life like. Peacefull! Thank you Aaron. Lenny was jealous of your composing talents. You will live on in our hearts!
Thank you, that was really lovely, and very helpful!

Michael Bjørk: youtube is full of videos with Copland. He lived from 1900-1990, so there was a lot of time to get him on film and TV. And he was. I received a letter from him in 1976, when we had used some of his music for a short film. He was very kind and thanked us for using his music!!!

Copland discussed the gap between audiences and composers. He himself bridged the gap in some of his music. But for every hundred people who enjoy Appalachian Spring, just a handful can get something like his great Piano Fantasy.

interesting interview at first, but it kind of petered out. Too many vague questions which led to generalized answers. Copland was quite articulate throughout.

The jazzy waltz that opens “Day at Night” is a catchy tune. It’s called “Marionette “ by Toots Thielemans, heard here on Guitar and whistling - I think it’s Dick Hyman playing organ or electric piano.

" Lenny" was a pretentious old pop song writer not a composer in my estimation. when Copland wrote things like " quiet city" or " Our Town" they were compositions.

Copeland attitude seems to imply there's something wrong with the people who don't appreciate absurdly dissonant modernist crap like his.
@gerthenriksen88186 жыл бұрын
Not at all. Most of Copland's own music was not dissonant. All he means is that you have a an open mind.
