I so miss Aaron Copland.I was born in 1954 the American century. Good parents and teachers left me conscious of and saddened by war and suffering. Despite my fathers untimely death when I was 5 and the poverty of my youth; there was always hope and optimism then. The mid twentieth century in America was a time when we all felt sure we could live a dream and conquer anything. Composers like Copland, Bernstein,and Gershwin taught us how to worship peace and freedom.Thank you Aaron for the peace.

Aaron Copland ha scritto: "la musica esprime di volta in volta serenità, esuberanza, rimpianto, trionfo, disperazione o delizia.Ha in sé tutti questi caratteri,e molti altri ancora, in un'infinita varietà di delicate sfumature.Può esprimere persino uno stato di intenzioni per cui non esiste parola adeguata.....quello che importa è che ognuno senta per sé la specifica qualità espressiva di un tema o, analogamente, di un intero componimento musicale."
Grazie a tutti voi per la vostra musica.

This is a beautiful performance. If you want to hear another take on it, Christopher Brellochs plays it on saxophone with piano accompaniment.

@doublehighd The crazy part is my teacher's wife also plays trumpet and she told me she had the fortune of performing this piece under the baton of Copland himself! As I prepare this for my own recital I ask, "Which horn should I play, C or Bb?". To my astonishment she said he was completely impartial! Therefore I've opted my Yamaha Chicago C over my Bach Strad Bb. I too would have expected the composer to have a stronger preference, but perhaps in his younger years such was the case?

Copland wrote it for Bb trumpet. That makes a difference. But the performance is very musical. Pity about the sound.
Beautiful performances by all. Special bravos to the English horn and trumpet soloists as well as the lush sound of the strings and the especially sensitive conductor. It's particularly satisfying to hear Copland, the great American master, played so beatifully in Rome.

Such a beautiful sound from the entire orchestra. The English Horn and trumpet soloists also. Magnificent.
