Copland – Appalachian Spring, Moderato [like a prayer]

Baltimore School for the Arts Chamber Players
Music by Britten and Copland

One of my favorite moments in music, the prayerful closing of Aaron Copland’s score for Appalachian Spring. This is the first in a series of posts about the piece ahead of my presentation of its original thirteen-instrument version this Saturday.

[Here is a direct download of the entire recording excerpted above; more on the BSA Chamber Players in an earlier post.]
