Composer: Aaron Copland

Painting: Emigrants Crossing the Plains by Albert Bierstadt - Hudba
One of the very few composers that makes me proud to be an American. The rugged, breathtaking beauty of this country and its people shines through Copland's music. So powerful, subtle and yet, achingly tender and delicate.
Not only makes you feel proud, but you can literally feel it.
Close your eyes and listen and you're driving cattle in the 1880s.
Much like the painting, “Emigrants Crossing the Plains”, by Albert Bierstadt.

The painting in the video is "Oregon Trail" by Albert Bierstadt. It is housed in the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio.
And one would hope a very respectable copy lies somewhere along the actual Oregon Trail.
Ty for the info I’d LOVE to go see it
"Manifest Destiny"
YOU HAVE DIED OF DYSENTERY
Thank you for this information
One Winter's day, I was driving through the I-40/l-26 mountains on the morning after an ice storm. This was playing, full blast and windows down. It was as if I were in the middle of a crystal chandelier as the rising sun sparkled on the frozen hoar frost for a hundred miles.
My, you could be one great writer!!
Nice imagery. Thanks.
Awesome, ty for sharing
An image you will never forget.
Daniel Claeys that's beautiful
I've only seen this once live. My girlfriend who was the first chair cellist asked me to go and I was blown away. I'll never forget watching her furiously bow away, along with everyone else playing their heart out.
Most seriously, one of the best pieces of American music ever written.
Aaron Copland wrote America's soundtrack
INDEED !!!
@Defund the NASA Now so much quintessential 'american' music came from 1st/2nd generation immigrants.
@Defund the NÄSHAya bëi bëi Then there was Rodgers and Hammerstein and Lerner and Loewe. All, guess what...
@Defund the NÄSHAya bëi bëi he was born in brooklyn so id say hes pretty american
Maybe he was just listening carefully.
So much of my emotional connection to our country is framed by this music.Copland is as American to me as George Washington
You betcha !! And please do remember that he was a small, gay, first generation American , New York Jew who composed what we rightly consider to be the most "American" classical music. And do remember also that much of what he did was part of FDR's New Deal Federal Writers Program. May we see such a program soon.
@@douglasarchard8201 wow well i didn't know any of that! I do believe each of those facts (and countless more)must have contributed in some way to the final musical product. That music couldn't have come out of him if it wasn't in him to begin with.
@@douglasarchard8201 This info made my day--thank you!!!!! In this disorienting time we need to understand our country's TRUE underpinnings.
Hell yeah.
@@douglasarchard8201 I am tired of the indentity issues it is the art and music that is relevant not lifestyle
Happy Birthday to Aaron Copeland REST IN POWER Blessings and Hugs 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
In response to Ian 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.
Copeland dealt with it all during his life. Little to nothing has changed and that is a sad commentary. Fortunately for some of us, the music he created is immune to the nonsense perpetrated by the self induced ignorance of people today.
Identity politics are irrelevant - Aaron Copeland was a gift from God and defined the Soul of the Greatest Nation on earth -- the American soul that is being eaten alive by identity politics.
He would probably vote for Trump today
Makes me love him even more. I would have asked for date back in the day now that I know he was gay lol. That's awesome
@@robela598 Doubt it seriously
I'm British and I think Copland is the best thing the US has in the music world, of all genres.
Gershwin slapped too. But they certainly had very different styles haha
Thank you.
After many year's of listening to this work, at 71 you never tire of Aaron Copland, testament to the quality of his music.
Thank you God for Aaron Copland.
Amen brother.
Love ❤ Zubin Meta’s tempo for Hoe Down…perfect…not toooo fast like others do…it’s got a good vibe😂
Aaron Copeland was and is, one our countries greatest assets.
Rocco Sophie
You know it.
Truly is
Copland, not "Copeland" [sic]
absolutely. probably, our last great american composer except for bernstein
Amen, one of our greatest treasures! Long Live His Music!
An otherwise beautiful and classic piece, performed masterfully, and ruined by the contaminated ad-laden cesspool that CZcams has become.
I recommend that you install uBlock origin. It is an addon for chrome and firefox that blocks ads.
@@lambdamusic611 will check it out. Thanks!
You are getting it for free! Difficult to complain about the ads really - complain about the poor royalties that the orchestra gets if you want.
*_*laughs in CZcams Vanced_**
The start of Hoedown punches me in the sternum every time. It's like a shotgun blast in musical form!
Also Emerson Lake & Palmer (Trilogy) 1972...RIP....Hoedown...
That theme contained in the "Corral Nocturne" movement is nothing less than GORGEOUS !
My favorite movement. Copland wrote such tender music for what could be considered a "rough" setting like a rodeo.
I have heard "Hoe-Down" in so many western-related movies, but I had never heard it out of that context. Today I heard it on the radio, and the DJ mentioned the name of the song and its composer, so I looked it up. I am glad I did! I thoroughly enjoyed the entire suite. Thank you for posting it, Lambda Music!
It's always interesting to hear a piece in it's entirety. I love this work too.
What? Literally the exact same thing happened to me. I heard it on the radio today, and looked for this version
The first time I think I heard "Hoe-Down" was as part of the Beef Council's ads, originally with VO by Robert Mitchum, then by James Garner, and now by Sam Elliott.
That's a trio so masculine it could grow hair on Wonder Woman's chest! 😆
@@elainebmack I only recently came across the full version of it. In film and TV, it's just that one recognizable part played in a much smaller and simpler arrangement, and it's played for laughs so it always sounds cheesy. When I stumbled onto the original I remember thinking "holy s*** is that what it's supposed to sound like?"
For a wild interpretation of Hoedown, try the Emerson Lake and Palmer version.
I really like the sequence that begins at 6:35 and particularly as it hits 6:55. I also really like the sequence from 12:44 in Corral Nocturne with the clarinet and cellos playing two different melodies.
This is so good, I never thought I'd enjoy this as much as I did. I just listened to it because I've heard of it, what a wonderful piece, it just seems so real and yes, uniquely American.
Saturday Night Waltz has moved me every time I've listened to it, and I think it always will.
Hoe Down gets so much "talk", but I think Saturday Night Waltz is a more evocative composition
Such a beautiful melody
I loved performing the oboe solo in Saturday Night Waltz. I remember it decades later. Absolutely beautiful.

I thoroughly enjoy the fact that your language has no translation for the word "Hoedown". If I may offer an explanation: A party, an event, a great occasion, a hootenanny, a shindig, a soiree
Wonderful!
COPLAND IS MY FAVORITE COMPOSER ABOVE ALL ...
Corral Nocturne is my favorite movement. So peaceful and gentle.
A great American composer!
Love this music!
You Tube, show some respect for this American masterpiece. I understand you have to make a buck, but the commercial interruptions are a slap on the face of classical music lovers. More and more I am returning to my old CDs.
If you are on a computer, I recommend that you install uBlock origin. It is an addon for chrome and firefox that blocks ads.
@@lambdamusic611 thank you.
Adblock Plus is your friend
@@marshalivingston1921 Thanks Marsha. I respect YT´s right to make an honest buck through advertising. But interruptions are beyond the pale.
Absolutely!! I’m shocked
Aarons billy the kid was my introduction to his work!
You can't have relatives in the South West without seeing 1 to 17 of these every summer.. best part?? Why, the horses,of COURSE!!!!
Mi bisabuelo era norteamericano.... El vino a España en 1941 con una delegacion comercial del gobierno de Roosevelt, durante la 2a guerra mundial.
Se quedó en España, y murio aquí en 1981.
Era de Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Cómo se llamaba él, si es posible la pregunta?
I love Aaron Copeland’s music. I found by accident. But the commercials 🤦🏻. Shame on CZcams.
Stunning painting. There is a promise of .... a NEW BEGINNING in this picture.
Beautiful job by Mr Mehta and the LA Phil
This music touches my soul.
Turn off the ads
great song to put a jump in your step and adulation in your soul!!
Very nice and funny. Thank you for sharing this. The Orchestra is great too. One of the Big Five of USA.
Hoedown gives me youth orchestra flashbacks. Our conductor wanted us to play it at full speed, and we were NOT prepared. Super fun piece, though!
Good old fashioned Western music.
WTH? I never heard this ending to "Corral Nocturne" before, complete with saloon sounds! Love it! 😄
I love it
16:10 is a spirit booster! At least that’s how I feel. Love it.
wonderful
I don't know who added all of that extra stuff to the 2nd and 4th movement in this recording, but I love what they added. It's extremely fun.
Great! A good music to start with courage¡
The first time I heard this I was blown away thinking of of course John Williams the people that this man inspired including the lead Keith Emerson who rearranged hoedown and fanfare for the common man he hit it off with Aaron Copeland with a lot of respect and love because Keith Emerson and his wife named their firstborn son Aaron AaronEmerson thank you for letting me indulge you folks
I hv ELP albums and hv the one with Hoe Down but had no idea he named his son Aaron. I was a huge fan of that group. Two no longer with us😥
BRILLIANT - my favorite copland piece
still prefer fanfare for a common man but this is my second
You must listen to"Copland's third symphony", you will love it. Minnesota Orchestra. On this playlist. Marshall Walter
Great! Thank you.
The date and place I fell in love with this music: July 3, 1994, Petrillo bandshell, Grant Park, Chicago Illinois.
Phantom regiment?
⚡😮
@@georgesetzer5283 No, better the past, and then...
Really fun to play with and ocherstra on viola
surfer kiwi I’m playing this in ocherstra on oboe next spring ;)
Only an American could have written this piece!
Great.
Around 17:30 sounds like something out of a John Wayne flick.....
I love it so much. It makes you want to keep this land forever free and not give it over to the fascists.
I'm a progrssive dem, I love this score. My family members who served loves this song. Get warm and feely with your patriotism without your commentary. Magat.
Ironically, giving your country over the fascists would preserve your national identity. It’s socialism, and liberalism that causes degradation of society and debased art such as what you see in America today. I think you just see fascist as an entirely negative buzzword but in actuality its not a negative and hateful ideology. It simply focuses on national identity and the citizens of said nation.
❤
@@cincyshawn I’m a progressive Dem too. That was my point - to not let the country be taken by fascists like MAGA
@@michaelrowand898 My bad then!! Amen!
Yeeeeehaaaa!
Every time I hear How Down, I keep thinking of that beef commercial. "Beef It's what's for dinner" with Robert Mitchum.
I think you mean Hoe-Down.
I thought that was Sam Elliot
Favorite bumper sticker. "Eat beef! Because the West wasn't won on salad."😂
I don't understand the desperation of companies to interrupt beautiful music with their crass advertising. Put it at the beginning or put it at the end if you must, but don't insinuate your way into a piece in progress. It's a matter of decency versus indecency.
How's this for a connection between two works of art? Zuban Mehta, who conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic (and still does, I believe), when it played this great version of Aaron Copland's classic, has been married since 1969 to Nancy Kovack, who played Medea opposite Todd Armstrong in "Jason and the Argonauts" (by FAR the best film rendering of Greek mythology ever). I still remember when Tom Hanks presented Ray Harryhausen with his Oscar for Lifetime Achievement, and confessed that "Jason" (only one of the many films where Harryhausen brought mythic creatures to wonderful life) was his favorite movie.
The advertisements in this are criminal
Ballet West, will show it on Friday November 4th through Saturday November 12th at the capitol theatre in Salt Lake City Utah
❤️👍👍👍💐💐💐💐💐💐
I first heard hoe down played by Emerson lake and palmer.
You can visualise everthing
May the almighty Allah - God - reward you for sharing this jewel.

The ads are the reason I am rejecting this version for use in my Elementary Music classroom!!
I suggest that you install the Ad blocker uBlock origin.
@@lambdamusic611 I will look into it!! Thank you!!
あれ？ホンキートングピアノと普通の調律のピアノを一台ずつの計2台、ステージの上に準備しているのかしら。気のせい？
BEEF its whats for dinner
On how many western-movies is copelands music played? Anyone?
the red pony is another one i can think of
The music itself probably none but the feeling of the music is a different matter
22:13 Flute excerpt for 2019 UQSO audition :)
Did you make it!?
Beef! It's what's for dinner. (Sam Elliot voice)
it was actually Robert Mitchum at first then later Sam Elliot (wikipedia ftw)
It's not corny.
Corn fed from the Midwest? Hey, why not?
@Glinkling Smearnops No.
Right
This music would've been impossible to create in modern day America and it breaks my heart to realize that.
shame about all the ads but I suppose someone had to upload it..
Great music BUT CZcams interrupted it with many ads. Not good at all.
Going to dedicate this to Liz Bacala who was a pupil at Ellen Wilkinson High School in Ealing where my favourite Aunt [Wendy Halden] taught music. At the beginning of the same lesson [during 1981] the class listened to this Wendy asked which famous composer had the same letters in their surname as 'Halden' ... Liz suggested 'Rimsky-Korsakov' LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Still makes me laugh today trying to imagine my Aunt's face when THAT came out!
😮🌱
That jumpscare at about 21 minutes in..... warning headphone users
should not happen if you are paying attention to the music
rofl
Corretta gamejewels moo
No.Try listening to Tchaikovsky's 1812.NOW that is loud!
BEEF it's whats for dinner... yum
YEET
What is this painting?
note that the painting information is in the desciption of the video.
"Emigrants Crossing the Plains" by Albert Bierstadt
24:03 I never heard that part before
Don't forget this is Rodeo, not Four Dance Episodes from Rodeo. That's why Ranch House Party is in too. (Although not mentioned in the description)
What's up with a the ads?
It is youtube's choice, not mine. Sorry for the inconvenience. To be clear, I do not get nor want any revenue from the ads.
i wish someone could help me out w the tonality instrumentation and form of this
Here's a link to the sheet music where you can download it for free.
It's a piano score, but it's got all the notes you need. Key is D major.

What the L.A. phil once was....
What's wrong with the LA Phil now?
Academic decathlon anybody?
Im affraid this is not LA Phil, nor Zubin Mehta.
What recording is this? I’d like to get it. It’s superb. Thanks in advance.
@@WombBoy , Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Thats on Deezer.
Either way, i think its a great recording. :)
Beh, Copland da noi in Italia non si esegue mai. Neppure i teatri mettono in scena i suoi balletti tratti dalle sue composizioni coreografati da Agnes de Mille. E' un peccato e una totale mancanza di cultura e di fantasia dei nostri...
IMO this sounds dated today, and like a movie score.
He Got Game...We're the Lincoln Railsplitters...Oh you didn't read the paper that day?
If your in Mrs drakes class like this
im only hear because its my hw to listen to this kms
“hear”? With that grammar, maybe you need to be doing more homework.
OOF i swear im a good student
Don't swear
If enough mud is thrown at a wall some will stick. Keep listening with an open mind and you may find a spark that will light a fire.
This is one of the best composers of classical music... look up his other works.
We all know this music is part of the American West myth, but by the same token, this is the music of the myth, much like anything religious - as far as I'm concerned - is, in terms of tuneage e.g. Jerusalem etc. etc.
But what music for what a myth, so long as people learn about all the facets of the story of the American West.
Absolutely right. Even "True Grit" showed a West that was full of cheating and meanness, while "The Big Country" emphasised the rare thing that was nobility and gentlemanly conduct (of course from Peck's character but also a staggeringly good Burl Ives!!!). "Soldier Blue" wanted to eradicate anything good we might have seen, and the Spaghettis homed in on the filth and sex and dirt. Up market, "Dances with Wolves" would have us believe that the white man gave nothing but misery and chaos , and that the only escape for such into decency was to throw away that civilisation and embrace that of the indigenes. Recently, "The English" has shown us a West steeped in an even deeper evil - not just the meanness of individual people, but a whole culture and region mired in something simply of diabolical malevolence. Of course "The English" was filmed in Spain, so the rescue service of our emotions that Monument Valley or the Tetons or the beautiful deserts and prairies might otherwise offer was not there. Not even that to help out.
I've watched dawn over Grand Canyon and walked in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and those are wondrous places - but when I did that I was mostly alone with nature, and it was more than OK.
Ridiculously maybe (and yet), those who believe in resets of history and "Tartaria" show us something amazing and paradoxical about towns and cities occasionally also out west - namely that they had stunningly beautiful and complex buildings from, say, the 1870s onwards, which might offer some contrast with what we would imagine as mere shack-towns. This is an odd thing (perhaps just rubbish in the deeper interpretation, but those photos are there).
Of course, by defiinition the truest of the true West had few larger localities of any kind.
But could it be that the noble West myth that absolutely never was has given way to myth of the West as utter evil that also never was???
When "The Way the West was Won" (a much-trashed movie in modern sentiment) began with the song "The Promised Land" that was of course a deep-religious reference, and someone listening might be convinced by that too, just as they might be stunned by the beauty of James Newton Howard's music for "Wyatt Earp".
So are all these composers spinning the lies and cheating us?
That would be a tragedy if so, something so tragic and awful that I can't quite believe it.
My fallback position, inevitable for a Born-Again, is that where God was, there was beauty and meaning and nobility and truth, even in just odd corners and for little scraps of time.
So the Holy Spirit inspires the transcending music, and He does NOT lie. Not ever.
Something of God must have been there. Somewhere out West there must have been moments of mercy, decency, kindness and understanding (almost never seen in the movies, that's for sure).
But those people read their Bibles and then took no notice whatever of what they had read?
Just as did the slave-owners
A great and deep perversion...
So, as you say, it would be great to face the truth of the West - but where exactly does that truth lie.
Most likely you are familiar czcams.com/video/UkDuEQKED4Y/video.html (presenting "The Tender Land")??
You see that painting we see there?
That's a long story in itself as the artist of that painting was obsessed and angry with the idea of the land being ruined by erosion and bad practices!
So even that fairly innocent-looking homespun look is actually steeped with tension...
Why is there no late performance of the Ballet for this work.
I suspect that it's because of the all white casting of the original American Ballet Company.
The only thing on the Net is Agnes De Millne 1950's production, which is fantastic but very poor in Video Quality.
hoxton test - yeah, a spartan set and terrible production values but damn that dancing was beautiful
This could easily be recast with dancers of any color, especially these days. Maybe it will happen.
The New York City Ballet has been performing "Rodeo" since 2015, with brilliant (IMHO) choreography by young master Justin Peck, which focuses exclusively on the dancing (unlike De Mille's focus on context & setting). I'd love to see Justin Peck's version & then another new production of De Mille's).
Why not?
I suspect the reason is because nobody's recorded yet racist piece of s***
If you came here from the balloons video hit like.
Listen.Ok?
YAWN.
I HATE this music, which I had to play all too often in high school orchestra.
You're very fortunate to play classical music...keep it up😊
