Aaron Copland - Fanfare For The Common Man

The awesome Fanfare For the Common Man by Aaron Copland.

This fanfare was written on request from Eugene Goossens, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, in response to the US entry into the Second World War.
During the First World War, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra had asked British composers for a fanfare to begin each orchestral concert. It had been so successful that he thought to repeat the procedure in World War II with American composers.
Goossens suggested titles like Fanfare for Soldiers, but Copland gave it the much better title Fanfare for the Common Man.
The piece was premiered 12 March 1943 at income tax time, as a homage to the common man.

Even though it is american, I think it should be the "official" fanfare for alle the common people in the world. Kind of like they did the moonlanding for all mankind.
This is just my personal opinion, and I mean no offence to americans for wanting to "steal" this one.

America was once a bastion of freedom, science and hope. Now it's a terrorist state, inciting hatred and violence across the entire globe, and their perpetual build up of arms is sending us all on the fast-track to WW3. I miss the USA, now what we have is the USA Incorporated.

@HappyLummox The "wo" in "woman" means "wife", "wife person".

We are all men.

And the common woman gets nothing.

@spruceorcedar At least you use "cope" as a transitive verb. I'm always hearing it used incorrectly as an intransitive verb - "I can't cope."

@wmlfan9 Mr. Copland can't "Cope" with you not looking up his name in Wikipedia.

Personally, when I hear this, I see the Apollo missions, and things flying through space. Sometimes, because I'm American, things heading west. The whole idea of a new frontier.

Awesome song, but aliens at the end? Not so awesome. Don't get me wrong, I love scifi, but aliens just weren't what I was looking for in this vid, or with this song.

This is one of the best Interpretations I have yet to see.. However, I see bias, and that's what PISSIS ME OFF. The work is bigger than N. America. I think you almost got it.
