I have really enjoyed playing his music – most noticeably the hoe down from rodeo [I coudn't find the string orchestra version on u-tube - far better! Anna should play it sometime...]. but todays main link is to the simple gifts from his appalachian spring. the ‘tune’ might be recognizable to many! There are a number of versions on utube. i chose this one as photos with it. would have prefered a video visual of the appalachians though…

I love Copland too. Rodeo was one of my set works I studied when I did music A Level.
welcome back stella! Being somewhat older, I got to have elgar cello and berg violin as my set works.
Hi again!
One of my compositons was a twelve tone serialist Berg/Schoenberg thing. our other two set works were Monteverdi Orfeo and the score of West Side Story, I still like both of them too.
once i got the measure of 12 tone composition it was quite fun, though i always found the initial ordering stressful. made me more impressed by berg’s es ist genug in his violin concerto
