More details

Copland captured the American spirit in his music, so evocative of windswept prairies, mountain hollows, and the optimism and resilience idealistically attributed to the inheritors of the new world. Like Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid, and Rodeo, his Third Symphony—the source of his Fanfare for the Common Man—summons that irrepressible spirit in a deeply satisfying listening experience.
