Charles Ives and Aaron Copland - A Listener's Guide by Daniel Felsenfeld
This book explains - in vivid picturesque detail - why we still listen with admiration to the work of these men, and how their personalities and the era in which they lived affected their music. The accompanying online audio includes a sampling of their music from masterworks such as Appalachian Spring and The Unanswered Question to less common gems and includes guided listenings of exactly how the pieces work.
Aaron Copland's well-known and highly regarded compositions, performed and recorded extensively throughout the world, include the Pulitzer Prize-winning ballet Appalachian Spring, as well as Billy the Kid, Rodeo, Lincoln Portrait, and the film scores of Our Town and The Heiress. On being awarded a Congressional Gold Medal in 1986, Copland was praised for his uniquely American music that reflects the very soul and experience of our people. During his career, Copland taught composition at Harvard and the Berkshire Music Center, lectured all over the United States, and wrote Our New Music and Music and Imagination. He died in 1990.
