Aaron Copland werd decennialang beschouwd als de belangrijkste Amerikaanse componist, met werken die uiteenliepen van ballet en orkestmuziek tot filmmuziek. Zijn muzikale ontwikkeling weerspiegelde belangrijke trends van zijn tijd, van vroege experimenten met jazzritmes en neoclassicisme tot een vereenvoudigde stijl die hem in staat stelde een breder publiek te bereiken via radio en film. In zijn latere carrière omarmde Copland ook twaalftoonstechnieken, zoals blijkt uit zijn compositie voor de opening van Lincoln Center. Na 1970 stopte hij met componeren, maar bleef hij lezingen geven en dirigeren.
This collection features a selection of notable works, showcasing a blend of American and Latin influences. It includes "Quiet City," which captures a reflective atmosphere, and the evocative "Lincoln Portrait," celebrating themes of leadership and resilience. The lively "Danzon Cubano" offers a vibrant Cuban rhythm, while the "Clarinet Concerto" highlights the instrument's expressive range. Additionally, "Three Latin-American Sketches" presents a rich tapestry of cultural sounds, making this anthology a diverse exploration of musical styles.
Featuring an introduction by William Schuman, as well as a foreword and epilogue by Alan Rich, an indispensable guide from one of America's foremost composers teaches readers how to develop a deeper sense of musical appreciation. Reissue.
