    Extractions: Aaron Copland Aaron Copland was born on November 14, 1900 in New York City. His musical works ranged from ballet and orchestral music to choral music and movie scores. For the better part of four decades Aaron Copland was considered the premier American composer. Copland learned to play piano from an older sister. By the time he was fifteen he had decided to become a composer. His first tentative steps included a correspondence course in writing harmony. In 1921 Copland traveled to Paris to attend the newly founded music school for Americans at Fontainebleau. He was the first American student of the brilliant teacher, Nadia Boulanger. After three years in Paris he returned to New York with his first major commission, writing an organ concerto for the American appearances of Madame Boulanger. His "Symphony for Organ and Orchestra" premiered in at Carnagie Hall in 1925. Copland's growth as a composer mirrored important trends of his time. After his return from Paris he worked with jazz rhythms in his "Piano Concerto" (1926). His "Piano Variations" (1930) was strongly influenced by Igor Stravinsky's Neoclassicism. In 1936 he changed his orientation toward a simpler style. He felt this made his music more meaningful to the large music-loving audience being created by radio and the movies. His most important works during this period were based on American folk lore including "Billy the Kid" (1938) and "Rodeo" (1942). Other works during this period were a series of movie scores including "Of Mice and Men" (1938) and "The Heiress" (1948). In his later years Copland's work reflected the serial techniques of the so-called 12-tone school of Arnold Schoenberg. Notable among these was "Connotations" (1962) commissioned for the opening of Lincoln Center.

Franz Waxman Aaron Copland Hugo Friedhofer Bernard Herrmann Dmitri Tiomkin Aaron Copland The distinguished composer Aaron Copland was born on November 4,1900 in New York City. While still a child he began to study piano; subsequently he had lessons in harmony and counterpoint with composer Rubin Goldmark and began to compose. In 1920 his first published piece, The Cat and the Mouse, for piano, was printed, and that same year he entered the American Conservatory at Fontainebleau, near Paris. There he studied composition and orchestration with the renowned pedagogue Nadia Boulanger. He returned home in 1924 and soon became active as a pianist, lecturer and activist in musical societies. One of his compositions, Music for the Theater, attracted the attention of Serge Koussevitzky, who conducted its first performance with his Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1925; Copland later appeared as soloist in his Piano Concerto with the same forces. In New York City, Walter Damrosch conducted the Symphony for Organ and Orchestra, with Nadia Boulanger, for whom it had been written, as soloist. After the performance, Damrosch turned and said to the audience, "If a young man in his twenties can compose a piece like that, by the time he is thirty he should be ready to commit murder." (Many years later, when I was interviewing Aaron for one of my radio programs, I asked him whether he had fulfilled Damrosch's prophecy. His answer, complete with his characteristic grin, was, "I don't believe so.")

    Extractions: He studied with Goldmark in New York and with Boulanger in Paris (1921-4), then returned to New York and took a leading part in composers organizations, taught at the New School for Social Research (1927-37) and composed. At first his Stravinskian inheritance from Boulanger was combined with aspects of jazz ("Music for the Theatre," 1925) or with a grand rhetoric ("Symphonic Ode," 1929), but then he established an advanced personal style in the Piano Variations (1930) and orchestral "Statements" (1935). Growing social concerns spurred him towards a popular style in the cowboy ballets "Billy the Kid" (1940) and "Rodeo" (1942), but even here his harmony and orchestral spacing are distinctive. Another ballet, "Appalachian Spring" (1944), brought a synthesis of the folksy and the musically developed, the score being a continuous movement towards a set of variations on a Shaker hymn. Selected Works Include: Operas Ballets Film scores Orchestral music 3 syms. (1925, 1933, 1946)

    Extractions: Aaron Copland was the pioneer of American music he showed the world how to write classical music in an American way. He was born in 1900, when Americans were rarely recognised as composers in the music world. So Copland went to Europe for serious study, and, in the 1920s, wrote pieces with the flavour of jazz. European classical composers were also influenced by jazz at this time, as they were searching for new ways to bring their music into the 20th century. Copland's early works Grohg and Music for the Theatre show jazz influence. But he was soon to shed this in favour of strictly classical yet modernist works. With the great depression of the 1930s, when millions of Americans were unable to find work, the appeal of abstract music began to wain. So beginning in 1938, Copand produced a series of ballets that were to be widely heard and musically influential: Billy the Kid (a ballet about a legendary western outlaw, complete with cowboy songs, commissioned in 1938 by Kirstein for Eugene Loring), Rodeo (another Wild West ballet, about a cowgirl's search for a man) and Appalachian Spring (commissioned by the choreographer Martha Graham). When World War II began, the Cincinnati Symphony needed a patriotic American hero, and Copland by now one of the most famous composers in America wrote A Lincoln Portrait. For the same orchestra, he created his noble Fanfare for the Common Man.

Often called the "dean of American composers," Copland referred to himself simply as a "good citizen of the Republic of Music." He filled both roles during his lifetime and many of his pieces are considered paradigms of American music by the public. His popular ballet scores are still regularly performed, as is Lincoln Portrait . His "Fanfare for the Common Man" has been flattered by imitation in film scores, commercials, and music for the Olympics. Copland studied piano in his native Brooklyn and by 1917 had become a modernist in reaction to the more traditional aesthetic of his harmony and composition teacher, Rubin Goldmark. From 1921 to 1924 Copland studied at the American Academy at Fontainebleau with Nadia Boulanger. On his return to the United States, he contributed articles to Modern Music, participated in the League of Composers, and in 1928 founded (with Roger Sessions) the Copland-Sessions Concerts. During the 1920s, Copland incorporated the rhythms, instruments, and blue notes of jazz into some of his compositions. For a brief period in the mid-1930s Copland was associated with the Composers' Collective and wrote for the New Masses . He promoted singable music for workers, and his marching song "Into the Streets, May First" (text by Alfred Hayes) won the 1934

    Extractions: Copland (born in Brooklyn, N.Y., nov. 14, 1900) began serious musical study in his early teens. He was the first of many American musicians to study with Nadia Boulanger in Paris (1921-24). On his return to the United States in 1925 and after the performance of his Symphony for Organ and Orchestra, he became identified with brash modernism. While maintaining his penchant for the jazzy and experimental, Copland also developed a folksy American style that won him a wide audience. From 1925 to 1927, Copland held a Guggenheim grant, the first of many awards, commissions, and prizes he received. A prolific composer, Copland also taught and lectured extensively and wrote several books. He appeared frequently as a conductor of his own and other composers' music. In 1964 he was awarded the Medal of Freedom by the U.S. government. Copland is perhaps most famous for his superb ballet scores, such as Billy the Kid (1938), Rodeo (1942), and Appalachian Spring (1944), which are all based on American folklore. MIDI FILE - Appalachian Spring He also composed two operas, The Second Hurricane (1937) and The Tender Land (1954), as well as choral works and songs.

    Extractions: Komponisten Aaron Copland Biographie Die Werke Hauptwerke Photo Gallery ... Home Page Die Biographie von Aaron Copland Für viele Musikkritiker ist Copland, Sohn eines litauischen Einwanderers, der erste wirklich große amerikanische Komponist. Er wuchs in Brooklyn auf, besuchte die dortige Highschool und studierte dann Harmonielehre und Kontrapunkt bei Rubin Goldmark, einem tüchtigen, aber konventionellen Lehrer. Coplands Unabhängigkeit machte sich bereits auf dieser frühen Stufe bemerkbar. Sein erstes veröffentlichtes Stück („Cat and Mouse", Scherzo für Klavier, 192o) verdankte mehr den Impressionisten als seinem germanischen Professor. Zeigten diese frühen Arbeiten einen ausgesprochen französischen Einfluß, so brachte ein Studienaufenthalt in Frankreich den Amerikaner in Copland zum Vorschein. Als einer der ersten amerikanischen Schüler von Nadia Boulanger wurde er ermutigt, seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen. In Paris entdeckte Copland den Jazz und vereinnahmte diesen neuen Klang sogleich für seine eigenen Kompositionen, darunter die „Music for the Theater" (1925) und das Klavierkonzert von 1926; diesen Stil gab er jedoch bald wieder auf. Copland hat nie um der reinen Popularität willen komponiert, aber es wurde ihm
