Aaron Copland's Fanfare for The Common Man
Was looking through my cd collection for stuff I have't listened to in a bit. Came across an Aaron Copland cd. When Fanfare began to play it brought chills to my spine. What a powerful piece of music. I read the liner notes and Fanfare was written during WWII as a tribute to American fighting men. Now that I know this, it makes it even a more powerful work given the way things are in the world today! IMHO Copland is a composer who goes under appreciated by too many people.
