Fanfare for the Common Man: Copland

Lincoln Portrait: Copland
(with special guest narrator)

Symphony #1: Brahm

"Out of many...one" It's a phrase we all need to remember these days and the old National Motto is vividly exemplified in the music of Johannes Brahms and Aaron Copland and in the words of Abraham Lincoln. Brahms' First Symphony is a rich musical exploration of unity in variety, while Copland's dignified and stirring setting of words of our 16th President bring the message home.
