	Appalachian Spring (Suite from the ballet)
		-->Copland composed Appalachian Spring under a commission from the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation in 1944; the ballet was first performed in the Coolidge Auditorium of the Library of Congress on October 30 of that year, with choreography by Martha Graham, who also danced the leading role.
		Appalachian Spring was the culmination of Copland's series of "Americana" in dance, having been preceded by Billy the Kid, with choreography by Eugene Loring (1938) and Rodeo, for Agnes de Mille (1942).
		In Appalachian Spring the composer struck a deeper, more poignant note than in the two "Westerns"; here the music is illumined by an inner glow of greater warmth than perhaps any of his earlier works.

	A 'fortuitous collaboration' led to 'Appalachian Spring' \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		"Appalachian Spring" – the story of a rural American couple on their wedding day – is a lasting testament of their combined creativity.
		What's surprising is that, when Copland worked on the original score, he had no idea it would ultimately be titled "Appalachian Spring." He wasn't thinking of either Appalachia or spring when he wrote the music.
		Nowhere was their collaboration more inspired than in the use of the homespun Shaker tune, "Simple Gifts." Copland got the idea for a song-like theme and variations from Graham, who suggested that it might work well in the context of the ballet.

	Appalachian Spring Greens
		Before people relied on getting their nutrients from vitamin pills and supermarkets, the first days of spring had people rushing outside to gather the fresh green leaves of vegetation known collectively as pot herbs, greens, garden sass, or sallet.
		Several of the greens that are Appalachian favorites are sheep sorrel, dandelion, poke, dock, lamb’s quarters, and mustard.
		Many Appalachians say that they are better than any spinach that comes canned, frozen, or even from the garden.

		Born in Huntington, West Virginia, where his father was a pastor in the Appalachian region, Dr. Smylie has continued his interest in the literature on Appalachia and, in recent years, has conducted a summer tour of the area with a group of interested seminarians.
		Instead of being considered descendants of freedom-loving immigrants, Appalachians have been considered offspring from the lower strata of European life who moved into the region to escape their responsibilities to society.

		Appalachian Spring was composed in 1943-44 as a ballet for Miss Martha Graham on a commission from the Elisabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation.
		It is a condensed version of the ballet (identical with the original suite derived from the ballet for symphony orchestra), which retains all essential features but omits those sections in which the interest is primarily choreographic.
		In 1945 Appalachian Spring received the Pulitzer Prize for music as well as the award of the Music Critics Circle of New York for the outstanding theatrical work of the season.

	Classical Notes - Classical Classics - Aaron Copland: Appalachian Spring, By Peter Gutmann
		Copland was amused that people often complimented his music as brilliantly evoking the Spring season and depicting the Appalachian mountains, even though the poem refers to a mountain stream, had no connection with the ballet and arose only well after the score was finished.
		While Billy the Kid and Rodeo made explicit reference to American myth and incorporated actual folk songs, Copland's musical treatment in Appalachian Spring was far more subtle, as he evokes his sources by distilling their essence into original materials.
		His definitive 1961 New York Philharmonic Appalachian Spring (Sony) is far more vibrant and bracing than the composer's, from its haunting opening to the animated climaxes.

	SGS - eStore (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Appalachian Spring" appears here in its complete score (about 7 minutes longer than the familiar suite) and, more importantly, in its original, intimate scoring.
		Copland himself was fond of this version, and it's easy to see why -- the clarity and intimacy is breathtaking, while lacking none of the beauty of the full orchestral scoring.
		So even if you have a recording of "Appalachian Spring," this CD is worth having for the substantial additional works.

	Pop City - Appalachian Spring Summer and Fall
		To this end, he’s taken a broad range of underground Pittsburgh artists from the ’80s to the present, and attempted to unify them under the credo of their very independence: “The Appalachian School,” he calls it, and it’s what makes Pittsburgh’s art world dynamic, radical, and unique.
		To Young, homesick in Europe, this mindset tied together a diverse set of artists, musicians and writers in the Pittsburgh area and beyond, spurred on by the combination of a desperate drive to create and the constant reminder that, in Pittsburgh, you have less chance of fame and fortune.
		De Muynck’s involvement in The Appalachian School acts as a nod to the globalization of these ideas: With strong connections to Pittsburgh artists such as Young, and a similar mindset to the School’s ways, national and international artists need not be shunned by the city.

	Copland: Appalachian Spring
		Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring is the best-known work by the dean of American composers, and with good reason.
		Copland's gentle, jazz-influenced style always falls easily on the ear, and his distinctively ``American'' sound led to the development of a unique national idiom that has served us well for over half a century, both in the concert hall and in the less obvious venue of the movie theater.
		It is one of the minor oddities of history that this phrase had never before been encountered by the composer, for it describes the music so perfectly that one would naturally conclude it had driven the creation of the work instead of being appended only as an afterthought.

	COPLAND: Appalachian Spring / Rodeo / Billy the Kid, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		But the America he returned to was on the verge of Depression, and despite its once-limitless reaches, communities like the cowboys, or even Appalachian dwellers from far western Pennsylvania, would be an endangered species within these months leading to another world war.
		For Copland the west represented the most American of myths, an endless space to throw a body around in the great raw-bone outdoors; by this time, though, they'd been conquered enough to become their own vanishing way of life.
		For Appalachian Spring, in 1944 (it would win the Pulitzer Prize the next year), the physical narrative was propelled by Martha Graham, who choreographed these suites of song, and the music's sense of movement, through her own angularity and severe majesty, betrothing herself to Copland and his shining Americana.

	Pro Arte: Copland; Appalachian Spring (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Copland called the work simply "Ballet for Martha." It was Graham who suggested the title from a phrase she had found in a poem by Hart Crane (though it had nothing to do with the scenario of the ballet).
		The scenario is a simple one, touching on primal issues of marriage and survival, on the eternal regeneration suggested by Spring.
		All of Copland's three major ballet scores make use of old folk melodies, but Appalachian Spring uses the least; the only tune to pre-date the composition is the Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts," which serves as the basis of a series of variations near the end of the ballet.

	NYCO’s Blog » Appalachian Spring
		This is the second day in a row where the NYT has taken a “Hey, did you know?” approach to the big picture, as they look at the fact that, yeah, technically, the Southern Tier is a federally designated part of Appalachia.
		The Appalachian Regional Commission was for years an active participant in improving the region, though it seems to have gone quieter in the last few years than it once was.
		Attention might be focused on the Southern Tier because it has some of the largest natural gas deposits east of the Mississippi coupled with proximity to one of the country’s largest natural gas markets in metro NYC.

		After spending two days at Bitter Goose helping teachers from around the state learn techniques for teaching their students how to write poetry, I took off to explore the surrounding villages and rural cemeteries.
