Beautiful.

@NewMusicXX I think it's just a different take on things. "Mainstream Dodecaphony", it's actually refreshing to me, the logic of it is more clear and the parts more memorable.

I don't like how the commentary in the video tries to infer that Copland used serialism because of Stravinsky. If you could point to any one thing, it was the fact that he was indicted by the House of UnAmerican Activities and had his music dropped from various programs after his "name had been named". His serial composition started right after and so did some strange language about "autonomy" in art (think about this in contrast with his "American" "populist" music.
Read about it sometime.

His last major work (Inscape) is a serial piece.

Is this Bernstein Conducting? Brilliant whoever it is
-
Jackie "O" being stunned - I can imagine her being "stunned" shortly after this when her husband's head explodes in her face.
-
The Sixten Ehrling recording with the Juilliard Orchestra on New World Records (1988) was critically aclaimed...
This Bernstein performance was universally panned...
-
If want to hera a really good piece try "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima." That's a very good but creepy piece.
-
I agree about Inscape. I found Connotations to be the stronger work.

Hi
Copland has another serial piece call Inscape, but and I have it but to be honest I wasn't that impress with it. Just my opnion. Thanks for reading

Copland and atonal music didn't really gel, in my opinion.

You're right. Unlike Stravinsky, who continued with serialism, Copland gave it up when it was no longer "cool" and went back to what he was doing before. His 12-tone works are curiosities.
