Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" is for me one of the pieces bearing that characteristic. --Linda Goodman |

Copland (not Copeland)'s Appalachian Spring is fine, his Clarinet Concerto lovely, his Piano ditto gritty;he won an Oscar for the score to The Heiress (1949) - don't know it. Ivor |

He was fortunate enough to have had private study with Harris while at university. Thanks for asking.:-) I love his American Ballads piano pieces. His wife, Johana, performed all of his piano works. I see a CD at AMAZON which has several of the American Ballads songs on it as played by her. |

Try the premier recording by William Warfield and Copland at the piano (early '50s), or the version Copland orchestrated sung by Thomas Hampson about ten years ago. michael |
