David mentioned this song many months ago, and when I went shopping at Borders this weekend I remembered to pick up a copy.
Copland’s Appalachian Spring is such a ubiquitous collection of pieces it is hard to escape them. “Rodeo” (in its four parts) is used in movies and for beef commercials. “Spring” is simply one of the most played orchestrated pieces ever!
The most famous of course, is “Fanfare For The Common Man” which I have attached here. Utilized straight or bastardized for uncountable sports shows and movies, this song is truly ingrained in our cultural medulla oblongata.
That’s not a bad thing. It’s quite the inspirational piece. Enjoy.
