@@ImJumber true however it was written as an attempt to get American composers to develope their own national music, so it doesn't really sound American to me. Very carpathian
This is actually the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Zinman, recorded in 1993. The previous uploader probably got it from the compilation release that also includes Appalachian Spring done by the LA Philharmonic with Mehta and didn't read the credits very carefully.
In response to Jericho Gonzales on how Aaron Copland makes you "proud to be an American...." Mr. Copland was born in Brooklyn to Conservative Jewish Lithuanian parents. He was a Jew, homosexual, a socialists, and agnostic. Imagine the scorn and hatred this man would have to deal with today. His love of America and it's ideals inspired him as a composer. It's proof that there is room for all in our country.
Why, what's missing? The part that's just clapping? The tap dance? This is everything Copland wrote (as opposed to just the Four Dance Episodes that you usually hear) so "complete ballet" seems reasonable.
That’s so interesting how all the different staves are in different keys on the same parts in places. I saw sections in D and simultaneous sections in E and some in C. Never thought about trying that.
Yes, all of that indicates the instruments that transpose. This can be a very confusing subject to the novice, but what this means is that the "fundamental" pitch of certain instruments--the pitch that the instrument sounds as its basic fundamental tone without any manipulation--is the "key" of that instrument. So, a trumpet in B-flat when played in the open position--no valves down, the pitch unaltered by the lips--is a B-flat. Thus, when a composer writes for the B-flat trumpet, they must write everything a whole step higher than the sounding pitch, as all of the instruments are relating back to a monolithic "C" as the fulcrum pitch. "C" represents that fundamental pitch, regardless of the particular transposition involved. "C" for the B-flat trumpet is B-flat. "C" for the F Horn is F (a fifth higher than the sounding pitch). "C" for an A clarinet is A (a minor third higher than the sounding pitch). All of this seems needlessly complicated and unnecessary, but once you get used to reading scores this way, it begins to make its own sense.
@@datamasked623 You've never seen full scores before? ll transposing instruments (Trumpets, Clarinets, French Horns etc.) have to be transposed when written down so that they sound "right". It's all in the same key.
just wanted to let you know, that's just because certain instruments (mainly winds/bass) need their music transposed to sound the same. If an A calrient plays what's written as C on their music, a violinist would have to play an A (minor third down) to make the same pitch
No Other composer ever makes me so proud to be an American as Aaron Copland.
I think it was Leonard Bernstein who said “Copland took American music out of the woods.”
@@samdajellybeenie14 I also believe Bernstein really wrote some amazing “American” music as well
How about Dvorák? Yeah, he is czech. But he wrote 9th symphony for the America.

stunningly beautiful piece of music to calm the soul
Ouço essa música e me sinto cavalgando no velho oeste!
It must be over 30 years since I last heard this but I remember every bar. Must mean something!

You may want to understand the current reality you live in. Thanks

This is not actually the "complete ballet".

That's business. Don't fret.

Great music
Would love to be one of the woodwinds playing this piece
I'll be performing it this fall :)
what is that AWFUL thing thrown in?

@@1712Overture Could be. Or it's a modal modulation of some kind. It definitely caught my eye that simultaneous parts are in different keys though.

if you wanna hear music that is actually in 2 keys at once listen to charles ives
