Fanfare for the Common Man: New York Philharmonic. 911 museum closing ceremony

Written by Aaron Copland I find this to be a particularly moving performance. You can check out my own performing at • Telemann Spirituoso mo...

[@1981TURBOTRANSAM1]

Must be one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.......

[@philiprutter1]

No speakers, no headphones, can really convey this music. If you ever have the chance to hear it live, in person, from a worthy orchestra - do ANYTHING to go hear it.

[@brianbaumgarn5795]

You are right, to play it with a brass band like this lifts you off the floor, literallly.

[@iankohn288]

Copland lived a life of exile in his own land. Stupid asses, them yanks.

[@cesarsal1881]

True. No speaker has the abiity do reproduce real sound as live performance. Must be heard in presence.

[@Ace_v120]

i think drum corps did it better

[@demizer1968]

Was, and still is, my favorite to play on Horn

[@momarinainger3861]

Goosebumps every time. Absolutely stunning. A masterpiece

[@brianbaumgarn5795]

to play this with a great brass choir or orchestra is the experience of a musical lifetime. At 67 I can say it stays with you. I am sure those who attended this ceremony would say this is staying with them, too.

[@gustavoheberle6265]

All my respect, and condolences to the families of these brave men. The music is perfect .

[@TfiveR]

A musical piece without peer, and in the context, the most and only fitting tribute that can be offered.

[@daveenyart]

Exceptionally well-said

[@kitsmith806]

I have always loved hearing this , there us just Something in this piece inspires me to be a better person ❤️🙏🏽

[@bravaLiz]

I've always loved Copeland. However, this is too stunning and cannot help but to cry now whenever I listen and view THIS particular post. I lost several loved ones that day. My deepest thanks to Andy Antipin for sharing with us.

[@bigpardner]

bravaLiz Who are the loved ones you lost? Maybe when I visit the memorial site in NY I can look for their names.

[@jslasher1]

If you love him so much why do you misspell his name? It's Copland without an 'e'.

[@daveenyart]

@@jslasher1 good grief....would you please take just a minute to let it sink in that bravaLiz lost several loved ones that day. Spelling Copland correctly was probably low on her priority list at that time.

[@bcgrittner8076]

There was a lot of passion in that performance. I choked up a bit. On September 11, 2002, our fire department had a memorial service. We read the names of the FDNY members who were lost on 9/11. I read first. My copy had 43 names. Just read the copy, right? WRONG! I saw brothers. I saw fathers and sons. It really got to me. Then I stood in line, at attention, for the remainder of the ceremony, choking back tears. After the ceremony I went into the fire station garage and completely lost it, emotionally. Like we keep saying: Never forget

[@josephcarlbreil5380]

The greatest [and the only one still in the modern repertoire] of all the fanfares commissioned by Sir Eugene Goosens during his tenure as conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. It never fails to impress.

[@PMS1950]

Profoundly moving. Humanity at its very best remembers the very darkest of mankind's deeds.

[@merylfox6071]

A magestic piece of music.....Should be played along with the Star Spangled Banner

[@JS-hu7pv]

Good Lord. I’ve been in that hall at the 911 Museum. I love Copland and Fanfare for the Common Man. I can imagine that this was bringing everyone to tears. If one remembers the events of that day and live music stirs their soul it certainly should.

[@osmargod1]

What a excellent performance of the NY Phila, with this majestic piece of art from A.Copland. Great intonation and brilliance to this composition. Bravo!

[@Ialoneamthehonored_one]

King Phil Smith would be very proud the trumpet section

[@TheUndacovabrotha]

He's the one conducting in the video xD

[@MsRelative]

this is my alltime favortie piece of music. It exemplifies the best of the American spirit, so I am happy to see it being used to honor the best of ordinary common people and heroes from the 911 tragedy.

[@yassydney]

we played this piece in band and it was such a moving piece it was my favourite that year. i played horn and it was so fun. i got so excited seeing this being played at the memorial on tv

[@TheStabbyMedic]

Me too!! I forgot the name and had to search for it. This is absolutely beautiful!!

The photo of Mark Bingham, who helped bring down the plane in the Pennsylvania field, with his mother Alice Hoag is one seered into my memory. The Bingham Cup is named for him and the sport he loved so much - Rugby.

[@carlosa.sanchez896]

I was born in Cuba, came to this great nation in 1961. This out of the park grand slam by Copeland (which I've had the good fortune to play in public twice) makes me feel 100% American through and through!

[@shannonjune9807]

Just came across this - you're right! This performance happened while the Minnesota Orchestra musicians were locked out. He spent a year playing with the NY Phil during the lockout, but he's back in Minnesota now.

[@daveenyart]

I would imagine that some of the players knew someone who passed away that day.

[@blackie8083]

[@abbush2921]

I did not bad .

[@rockveley3580]

The political snark regarding the first 18 seconds notwithstanding, Bloomberg did the introduction to Fanfare as he should have. He was mayor of NYC during most of the cleanup, and the creation of the museum and of the memorial site occurred during his tenure.

[@robgrune3284]

excellent performance. Copeland scored the fanfare for Bb trumpets. the C trumpet lacks the timbre of the Bb. also, as scored, the notation is mercato, not the legato played here. current tech is great, but yet cannot capture the sound and dynamics of the live performance. when performed with a larger ensemble, using Bb horns, with proper acoustics, the musical effect is powerful and very emotional. this fanfare is pure musical genius.
