Aaron Copland (1900-1990) is best known and loved for the hugely popular compositions he wrote 1936-49, such as "Appalachian Spring", "Billy the Kid" and "Rodeo". He was one of the first to capture the essence of American life in sound. Together with Gershwin, Ives and Bernstein, he created music that mirrored the world in which he lived. This documentary looks at how a sassy New Yorker of Russian-Jewish background came to write the infectious and accessible music that established a distinctive American idiom.
Extracts from an interview with Copland are included and his biographer, Howard Pollack, and American conductor Hugh Wolff, a leading exponent of his music, both contribute to the program. Wolff also conducts the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra in passages from some of the composer’s most famous works, including "Fanfare for the Common Man", "Symphony No. 3", "Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson" (with mezzo-soprano Stella Doufexis), "El salón Mexico" and music for the feature film "Our Town".

"Fanfare for the Common Man" was inspired by Henry A. Wallace's speech, in which he proclaimed the dawning of the "Century of the Common Man".(https://web.archive.org/web/20070929124714/http://www.winrock.org/wallace/wallacecenter/wallace/CCM.htm). It also had an impact on the scores of several Hollywood films, such as "Superman", "Saving Private Ryan" or "The Patriot".
