Nationalist Music--Music that represents America


On Wednesday, we listened to 2 pieces by Aaron Copland that were supposed to represent America.  “Appalachian Springs” paints a picture of the American landscape and pioneer spirit, and “Fanfare for the Common Man” represented the ideals of the American Dream.  Do you think he accomplishes this in his music? Why or why not?  Use the comment section below to answer this question.
