 NPRN Composer of the Month
Copland, however, manages to achieve a larger picture than to concentrate on Billy-the opening procession is brought back at the end, which suggests that the episode of Billy's rebelliousness, capture, escape, and eventual death are merely a part of the vast panorama of history in the Wild West and, by extension, of America itself.
Copland was further challenged by a story which took place in the 19th century, since to that point he had been a very "current" composer in the dramatic themes he chose.
Copland can be defended against this charge, however: the "Fanfare" was not yet popular when Copland decided to use it in the symphony, where he felt it would invoke the grand optimism with which he wanted the symphony to end.

 AllRefer.com - Aaron Copland (Music: History, Composers, And Performers, Biography) - Encyclopedia
Brooklyn, N.Y. Copland was a pupil of Rubin Goldmark and of Nadia Boulanger, who introduced his work to the United States when she conducted his Symphony for Organ and Orchestra in 1925.
Although his earliest works show European influences, the American character of the greater part of his compositions is evident in his use of jazz and of American folk tunes, as in the short piece for chamber orchestra, John Henry (1940).
Copland wrote a song cycle, 12 Poems of Emily Dickinson, and a quartet for piano and strings (both 1950), Canticle of Freedom for chorus and orchestra (1955), and a tone poem Inscape (1967).

 Blogvertising: Opportunity (and Risk) · AD:TECH BLOG
Tony Conrad of Blacksmith Capital led a panel comprised of Henry Copland (Blogads.com), Shawn Gold (Weblogs, Inc.), and Beth Kirsch (Audible, Inc.) where they spoke to a packed house (amazing since this was the last panel on the last day) about the best ideas and opportunities, and a few risks.
After a quick history lesson, each panelist was able to give their take on what a blog is. Henry Copland is as passionate about blogs as is his idea of bloggers - passionate individuals expressing themselves.
Henry's vision of the blogosphere is that of a hive mind from a group of individuals, and what makes them special is that they are the influencers who can be far more valuable than the average consumer.

The earlier biographies, and even Copland's autobiography, are historically important but it is Howard Pollack who reveals and confirms just how important Aaron Copland was in defining a body of music that was and remains unique.
As worthwhile as these earlier publications are, it is Howard Pollack who has given all Copland devotees the quintessential story of the life and the music of America's greatest composer.
I can think of no better place to start exploring Copland's genius than with this book as an introduction to the music, without which the world would be a poorer place and the 20th century would be missing a unique body of sound.
