Copland Lincoln Portrait Free Download Lincoln Portrait copland lincoln portrait free download Lincoln Portrait. One of Copland's most popular pieces, Lincoln Portrait was commissioned during the early years of the War by conductor Andre Kostelanetz for a program of three new works by American composers. Copland chose excerpts from Lincoln's own words for the narration. The score includes quotations of Springfield Mountain and Camptown Races. According to Copland, "I hoped to suggest something of the mysterious sense of fatality that surrounds Lincoln's personality. The challenge was to compose something simple, yet interesting enoughto fit Lincoln." The piece has been performed on many significant occasions and with innumerable narrators, among them Carl Sandburg, William Warfield, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Copland himself.

With the release of his new album Exile, a reflection on exile with the Baltic Sea Orchestra, the iconoclast and prolific pioneer of the neo-classical movement confirms his status as one of the most ideologically committed artists out there. Melding classical and electronic music, physical and emotional worlds, he produces instrumental works of rare evocative power. From Sappho of Mytilene to Kaija Saariaho and Clara Schumann, several women have managed to break through the macho codes of the milieu and become composers. While the classical music landscape has been largely dominated by men in recent centuries, the work of their female colleagues, whether pioneers or contemporaries, is just as fascinating. Here we put eleven undervalued figures of female composition in the spotlight. Esa-Pekka Salonen is an acclaimed finnish conductor and prolific composer. With over 60 albums under his belt, he has heavily contributed to the history of musical interpretation. This is an interview with an exceptional musician, who discusses his unique approach to working on classical music in the studio. Copland, Aaron. Whenever a film or television score evokes America – the wide-open prairie or pastoral New England, the rowdiness of a Western frontier town or loneliness in a big city – the melodies and harmonies and orchestral colouring will inevitably owe a good deal to the music of Aaron Copland. In a series of popular ballet, film and concert scores in the 1930s and ’40s, Copland virtually created the sound of his nation. Yet in the 1950s he was identified as among the ‘dupes and fellow-travellers’ of Soviet Communism , and hauled before one of Senator Joseph McCarthy’s notorious committees investigating ‘un-American activities’; his Lincoln Portrait was removed from the programme of President Eisenhower’s inaugural concert; he even found it difficult to renew his passport. Five essential works by Aaron Copland. When was Aaron Copland born? He was born in November 1900 in the New York borough of Brooklyn, the youngest child of shopkeepers of Russian Jewish origin. Having played the piano from an early age, he studied composition with the New York teacher Rubin Goldmark, a pupil of Dvorák who also taught another Brooklynite, George Gershwin . At the age of 20, however, Copland departed America for France where he became one of the first pupils of the great teacher Nadia Boulanger, and through her met Stravinsky and other leading figures in the artistic ferment of the 1920s. Before his return to the States, Copland had begun to ponder how best to create ‘immediately recognisable American music’. His first answer was jazz, and jazz colours and clichés permeate two of his works of the mid-1920s, the suite Music for the Theatre and the Piano Concerto (written for himself as soloist). Thereafter, though, the jazz influence disappeared from his music, returning later in more sublimated form. Six of the best landmark jazz recordings. Aaron Copland and politics. The quintessential American composer accused of being ‘un-American’: that’s the startling paradox of Copland’s career. And it’s sharpened by the fact that his best-known works had come about precisely because of his left-wing political stance. Although he was never a Communist Party member, it was the dictates of the Soviet-inspired Popular Front that encouraged him to reach out to a mass audience by finding new outlets outside the concert hall, by incorporating folk songs and popular idioms into his works, and by simplifying his musical language. Yet, as McCarthy and his allies refused to recognise, most activists on the pre-war Left were simply pursuing the same democratic idealism that underlay the founding and history of the United States. Copland’s life story is also quintessentially American, chronicling a rise from an unprivileged background in an immigrant family to the status – after the McCarthy storm had abated – of a respected and admired leader of his profession. Who influenced Aaron Copland and his style? In the late 1920s, he composed his only piece directly reflecting his East European Jewish heritage, the piano trio Vitebsk , adapted a Dance Symphony from his early ballet Grohg , and wrote a fiercely rhetorical Symphonic Ode. Then in the early 1930s he turned to a more severe style, sometimes dubbed ‘constructivist’, exemplified by the bold, spare Piano Variations, the orchestral suite Statements, and the Short Symphony , also arranged as the Sextet – a work of complex dancing rhythms and luminous textures that may well be Copland’s most perfect achievement. Copland responded to the miseries of the Depression and the rise of Nazism in Germany by turning to left-wing politics. His allegiances are displayed overtly in only a handful of pieces: a workers’ song, a satirical ballet and a didactic school opera. However, his political sympathies also inspired him to reach out to listeners beyond the specialist new-music audience of the time. In El salón México , for example, he turned to Mexican tunes to create a colourful portrait of a country he had visited many times. Copland conducts El Salon Mexico. He branched out into writing for the radio, for the theatre and for the Hollywood studios. Above all, he made an impact as a composer for dance with his three great ballet scores on American subjects that included American melodies: Billy the Kid , and the wartime Rodeo and Appalachian Spring . Copland’s specific contribution to the Second World War effort produced two of his best-known works, the Lincoln Portrait and Fanfare for the Common Man . After the War, he incorporated a version of the Fanfare into one of his most ambitious concert works, the Third Symphony; and he wrote a Clarinet Concerto for the celebrated band leader Benny Goodman. Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man. Such high-profile compositions of the 1940s were complemented by his smaller-scale works, including Sonatas for piano and for violin and piano, and the choral In the Beginning . In the 1950s, the rise of a younger generation of modernist composers seems to have left Copland uncertain as to which way to turn. He continued to write some works in his earlier populist vein, notably the arrangements of Old American Songs and the opera The Tender Land – a touching coming-of-age story that has yet to achieve the success it deserves. He explored new ground in his only song-cycle, a sensitive response to the poems of Emily Dickinson, and in a Nonet for strings. And in his Piano Quartet of 1950 he experimented with 12-note serial techniques in an attempt to refresh his harmonic vocabulary. He pursued this in a magisterial Piano Fantasy , and in his two major orchestral statements of the 1960s, the challenging Connotations and the more reflective Inscape . It’s all too easy to trace a dividing line between Copland’s ‘popular’ and ‘serious’ works – and he himself acknowledged the dichotomy, while finding it ‘not at all worrisome’. But with the passage of time it has become easier to discern features common to all his music: integrity, directness, rhythmic life, and a highly personal combination of public rhetoric and private sensitivity.

This thesis presents an analysis of Copland's first major serial work, the Quartet for Piano and Strings (1950), using pitch-class set theory and tonal analytical techniques. The first chapter introduces Copland's Piano Quartet in its historical context and considers major influences on his compositional development. The second chapter takes up a pitch-class set approach to the work, emphasizing the role played by the eleven-tone row in determining salient pc sets. Chapter Three re-examines many of these same passages from the viewpoint of tonal referentiality, considering how Copland is able to evoke tonal gestures within a structural context governed by pc-set relationships. The fourth chapter will reflect on the dialectic that is played out in this work between pc-sets and tonal elements, and considers the strengths and weaknesses of various analytical approaches to the work.

  • Program Notes
    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM Pro Musica March 23, 2017 Academy of St Martin in the Fields Aaron Copland (1900-1990) Quiet City Aaron Copland’s compositions are divided into three periods: the early jazz-inspired works, the severely avant-garde, and the “Americana” or populist style that produced his most beloved works such as Rodeo, Appalachian Spring, Lincoln Portrait, and Fanfare for the Common Man. While Quiet City of 1940 falls into Copland’s populist style, we should be cautious about that categorization causing us to miss the work’s purely musical qualities and genius. That said, we must recognize it as one of the most evocative pieces of Copland’s output. In this case, it paints a night in a sleepless city, presumably New York, Copland’s home. Based on Copland’s incidental music for Irwin Shaw’s failed play of the same name, Quiet City was premiered in 1941 by the Saidenberg Little Symphony in New York City. Copland himself commented that the work was “an attempt to mirror the troubled main character of Irwin Shaw’s play.” He also admitted that Quiet City “seems to have become a musical entity superseding the original reasons for its composition.” On Mozart and Shostakovich In light of the combination of Mozart and Shostakovich on this program, we offer the following thoughts: On the death of the American novelist Saul Bellow, The New York Times reported that Mr. Bellow once told a reporter that “for many years, Mozart was a kind of idol to me—this rapturous singing that’s always on the edge of sadness and melancholy and disappointment and heartbreak, but always ready for an outburst of the most delicious music.” One could say much of the same about the music of Shostakovich, thus pointing to the raison d’etre for combining these two composers on a program.

It’s an artistic force connecting us to each other and to the world around us. I love that our concerts create a space for people to gather as a community—to explore and experience an incredible spectrum of music. Sometimes, we spend an evening in the concert hall together, and it’s simply some hours of joy and beauty. Other times there may be an additional purpose, music in dialogue with an issue or an idea, maybe historic or current, or even a thought that is still not fully formed in our minds and hearts. What’s wonderful is that music gives voice to ideas and feelings that words alone do not; it touches all aspects of our being.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Franz Liszt Piano Concerto No. 2 in a Major
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Franz Liszt Born October 22, 1811, Raiding, Hungary. Died July 31, 1886, Bayreuth, Germany. Piano Concerto No. 2 in A Major Liszt composed this concerto in 1839 and revised it often, beginning in 1849. It was first performed on January 7, 1857, in Weimar, by Hans von Bronsart, with the composer conducting. The first American performance was given in Boston on October 5, 1870, by Anna Mehlig, with Theodore Thomas, who later founded the Chicago Symphony, conducting his own orchestra. The orchestra consists of three flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, cymbals, and strings. Performance time is approximately twenty-two minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Liszt’s Second Piano Concerto were given at the Auditorium Theatre on March 1 and 2, 1901, with Leopold Godowsky as soloist and Theodore Thomas conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given at Orchestra Hall on March 19, 20, and 21, 2009, with Jean-Yves Thibaudet as soloist and Jaap van Zweden conducting. The Orchestra first performed this concerto at the Ravinia Festival on August 4, 1945, with Leon Fleisher as soloist and Leonard Bernstein conducting, and most recently on July 3, 1996, with Misha Dichter as soloist and Hermann Michael conducting. Liszt is music’s misunderstood genius. The greatest pianist of his time, he often has been caricatured as a mad, intemperate virtuoso and as a shameless and

  • West Side Story” (Original Cast Recording) (1957) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Robert L
    “West Side Story” (Original cast recording) (1957) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Robert L. McLaughlin (guest essay)* Original “West Side Story” cast members at recording session (from left: Elizabeth Taylor, Carmen Gutierrez, Marilyn Cooper, Carol Lawrence) “West Side Story” is among the best and most important of Broadway musicals. It was both a culmination of the Rodgers and Hammerstein integrated musical, bringing together music, dance, language and design in service of a powerful narrative, and an arrow pointing toward the future, creating new possibilities for what a musical can be and how it can work. Its cast recording preserves its score and the original performances. “West Side Story’s” journey to theater immortality was not easy. The show’s origins came in the late 1940s when director/choreographer Jerome Robbins, composer Leonard Bernstein, and playwright Arthur Laurents imagined an updated retelling of “Romeo and Juliet,” with the star- crossed lovers thwarted by their contentious Catholic and Jewish families. After some work, the men decided that such a musical would evoke “Abie’s Irish Rose” more than Shakespeare and so they set the project aside. A few years later, however, Bernstein and Laurents were struck by news reports of gang violence in New York and, with Robbins, reconceived the piece as a story of two lovers set against Caucasian and Puerto Rican gang warfare. The musical’s “Prologue” establishes the rivalry between the Jets, a gang of white teens, children mostly of immigrant parents and claimants of a block of turf on New York City’s west side, and the Sharks, a gang of Puerto Rican teens, recently come to the city and, as the play begins, finally numerous enough to challenge the Jets’ dominion.
