pp. 176, color illustrations/plates, black and white photographs. Notes section. “Perhaps best known for Appalachian Spring and Fanfare for the Common Man, helping to create a distinctive American presence in classical music. Yet what is perhaps less well known is that he came to know some of the most remarkable artists of the twentieth century, many of whom had a significant influence on his music throughout his long and illustrious career as a composer. A century from his birth, no one disputes that he helped create a distinctive American presence in classical music. Well known is the story of how a boy from Brooklyn, born of immigrant parents, discovered his musical calling early and launched himself into the ferment of his times. Yet less well known is that throughout his life, Copland enjoyed friendships and exchanges with some of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Through the lens of the visual arts, with a glance, too, at his interest in literature, this book examines Copland’s music and career from the broad cultural context in which he thrived.”
