Submitted by reklamesorous: why do you like aaron copland so much?
I think it’s just that you found my blog at the right time! Whenever I have a concert coming up I post material related to the composers and works on the program, and since I was performing Appalachian Spring earlier this month I blew up the Dashboard with Copland material for about a week prior. [Protip: Each post connected to a particular concert is tagged with the performance date like so, and you can also follow any composer tag to see all of my posts related to a specific artist.]
All that aside, I do love Copland’s music and believe that he is one of the most essential American artistic voices of the 20th century.
