    This is me, my soul. I love Aaron Copeland's music. This work is hauntingly beautiful and timeless. Keep writing your beautiful music in Heaven, Mr. Copeland. I will listen to it when I get there.

      Aaron Copland wrote music that described the American landscape in the same way John Steinbeck wrote about it. Or James Michener. And this is coming from me, a hardcore Dead Kennedys fan.

      European composers were writing stuff about people like William Tell, Robin Hood, or someone from Shakespeare's plays, so Copland chose an American legend to write about. This is not a ballet - it is a concert suite. I think Copland could have chosen a nice person instead of this outlaw, somebody like Daniel Boone or Davy Crocket, but I'm sure he had his reasons.

    We owe so much to Bela Bartok who took his recorders to the peasants of Hungary and Rumania to uncover a hidden music and use it in his magical compositions. Bernard Haitink in this Concerto for Orchestra brings together a larger than usual symphony orchestra and plays it like a small chamaber ensemble. The Shostakovich satire in the second to last movement is performed with grace, charm and love.

    Always loved the Suite's plaintive themes the best. The broad landscapes between Taos and the Sierra Nevada readily come to mind -- I think of the great mystique of the classic American West -- with a little sadness, yes, knowing that the timeless transcendence of special places is easily forgotten in today's world.

    A musician I have known since the early 80's died recently. John Geddes. Great man but a very understated man. He was a master of many instruments. A lovely man. And wil be missed by so many...

    This, along with Shostakovitch's 5th symphony in D minor where my favorite's as a pre-teen. I could see myself with two .45 peacemakers on a wild horse, making to the border just in time, the posse' hot on my heels.

    The section of music 10:00 through 13:00 [ish] paints an open desert prairie as a lone rider makes his way across the landscape in my mind
    The picture at 12:45 is hauntingly beautiful and really fits the landscape that the music creates.......

    Billy the Kid was a killer.
    He incorporated the evil of his time into his being.
    That being said, this piece of music CAPTURES the wild west. The physical setting, the atmosphere, the attitudes and the people [more specifically the personage i.e. Billy] of the time.
    Just astonishing.
    Mr. Copland a truly talented individual who still blesses us all.

    The Open Prairie piece is very well done by Maestro Kunzel. He gives it the initial subtlety, simplicity, and restraint it needs, resisting the temptation to go big early. The most evocative version of The Open Prairie that I have heard. In contrast to the excessive bombast of the Bernstein version.

    About the photo of Billy the Kid: It has always been assumed that the outlaw was Left Handed as his pistol seems mounted on his left hip - there was even a movie entitled," The Left-Handed Gun ". However, not long ago, a gun expert viewing the famous photo revealed that the details of the rifle that is being held, seemingly by the right hand proved that the photo had been somehow reversed. Therefore the Left-Handed legend was suddenly disproven.
