Copland was referred to by his peers and critics as \"the Dean of American Composers\". The open, slowly changing harmonies in much of his music are typical of what many people consider to be the sound of American music, evoking the vast American landscape and pioneer spirit. He is best known for the works he wrote in the 1930s and 1940s in a deliberately accessible style often referred to as \"populist\" and which the composer labeled his \"vernacular\" style. Works in this vein include the ballets Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid and Rodeo, his Fanfare for the Common Man and Third Symphony. In addition to his ballets and orchestral works, he produced music in many other genres, including chamber music, vocal works, opera and film scores. \/\/\/ Label: Telarc – CD-80117 Format: CD Country: US Released: 1987 Genre: Classical Style: Classical \/\/\/ Tracklist: 1 John Henry: A Railroad Ballad For Orchestra 3:48 2 Lincoln Portrait Narrator – Katharine Hepburn 15:33 3 The Promise Of Living (From The Tender Land) 5:26 4 Old American Songs, Set I Baritone Vocals – Sherrill Milnes 11:27 5 Jubilee Variations 1:27 6 Ceremonial Fanfare 3:44 7 An Outdoor Overture 8:47 Baritone Vocals – Sherrill Milnes (tracks: 4) Composed By – Aaron Copland Conductor – Erich Kunzel Narrator [Speaker] – Katharine Hepburn (tracks: 2)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00000E8NJ\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00000E8NJ.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Erich Kunzel|Aaron Copland|Cincinnati Pops Orchestra|Katharine Hepburn|Sherrill Milnes\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
