I cut the Simple Gifts section out of Aaron Copeland's Appalachian Spring (not meaning to desecrate a great work) but hopefully the transition doesn't sound too awkward. Please enjoy the photographs by Ansel Adams which accompany the music.

  • "Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Balanchine ballets, et al. don't redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history." - Susan Sontag

    Thoughts?

    Good day.

  • @rsranger2201 @jjbinks3 @EricTheYounger @TheIrieFeeling @noeffeks @77scapegoat @rsranger2201

    Your collective, anti-white sentiments reveal that you are all philistines. Thank you for your time, kudos pending, and Good Day.

  • @keepcalmycarryon Exactly what does this comment have to do with this piece of music?

  • @keepcalmycarryon

    Humanity is the cancer of human history :)

  • You have to wonder why Miss Sontag hasn't killed herself yet

  • They are wonderful AAron and the love of his life Peter! How can you Evangelicals hate them? They created such beauty! I think they are closer to God than you will ever be!

  • Very good video :D

  • @keepcalmycarryon i think there's been a misunderstanding...I'm not anti white nor do i support Sontag's views. I was trying to acknowledge that you were satirizing Sontag in your post, which i gave you a thumbs up on. others misinterpreted you and i tried to tell them what you were actually doing.

    in any case, "Simple Gifts" is a wonderful piece.

  • Ooo oo io jp oo opp oo kk klj pippo io oo

  • @keepcalmycarryon As if the whole world were a huge tit for tat game -as if Shakespeare, algebra, Mozart et al were *also* responsible for the depredations of imperialism. Sontag couldn't tell from history or nuance if it bit her on the nose.

  • The tune is the old Shaker hymn "It is a Gift To Be Simple and To Be Free".
