Magnificent! You people are Geniuses! And I appreciate your musical gifts! It makes me feel so good. So, thank you for blessing my life! Wow! I feel so peaceful. I believe I'm high! God Bless you ALL.

The original 13-piece version of Copland’s masterpiece has become my favorite…it captures so much American beauty.

I love your rendition! Brought tears to my eyes! Bravo!

Great performance and thanks for posting. Other posted versions with higher view counts are not of this quality - I hope the youtube algorithm works outs for this channel. I would love to see studio/hall recordings of this ensemble with closer mics for a fuller sound.

Good news, when I searched the title of the piece in youtube, this one came up :)

Great playing, great music!

Very nice... It seems that this reduced version is most widely performed.

[@mphannon29]

this is the original form!

[@dgdavenport]

Very nice. Is that with 13 performers, like the original. I think I heard that the pit of the theater for where this was commissioned was so small it allowed only that many.

This is a great piece for young conductors! Sadly, I only have its full score. Could you please let me know where I can purchase the parts? Thanks...

Shutong Li the chamber version of the Appalachian Spring Suite can be purchased on the Boosey and Hawkes website.

Why is there such a dearth of American good composers? Even Spain or the UK alone has more.

[@glibbergloop]

Probably because the US is hundreds of years younger as a country?
