history
When the Aaron opland symphony was performed in New York on January 11,
1925, the conductor Walter Damrosch declared, "a young man who could
write such a symphony at the age of 23 would be guilty of murder within
five years."
After listening to copeland's clarinet concerto, I couldn't help but
recall what mo yan said about reading "one hundred years of solitude"
for the first time: "the mood is indescribable, just like that of
gabriel Garcia marquez reading kafka in Paris.
Then I listened to copeland's "Appalachian spring" and was filled with
emotions. His music had a special melodic beauty, colorful harmonic
changes, rich Blues and Ragtime of native American jazz, and the general
brilliance of refraction through multiple prismatic lenses.Even more
colorful than Debussy's impressionism, the beauty is suffocating.
Aaron opland (1900 -- 1990) American composer.Originally from Russia, he
was the first American composer to be considered indigenous.Copland was
taught by goldmark, whose first work was the organ symphony (symphony
no. 1, 1924).Copland is one of the most important and influential
American composers in the 20th century.The clarinet concerto was written
in 1947-48 for Benny Goodman, one of America's most sought-after jazz
clarinetists.This work is an excellent blend of musical elements.
Today's video: 1. Martin Frost and the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra
perform Copeland's Clarinet Concerto. 2. Tom and Jerry (audio + sheet
music) performed by Aaron Copeland.
Copland's clarinet concerto, written for benny goodman, 1947-1948,
dedicated to goodman.A total of 2 movements: 1, slow and expressive,
three body.The theme is similar to the melody of satie's "kino
grimes".The middle section is designated as "wider ground".Copeland
explains the movement: "in the material, elements related to north and
South American popular music are subliminally combined, such as a
Brazilian pop song I heard in Rio, used as a refrain in F major";2. Come
on, rondo of freedom.Copland instructs "the main instrument is delicate
and ghostly", with a rumba rhythm in the middle and a rumba tone at the
end of the jazz's stubborn bass. |

Copland's Clarinet Concerto, composed in 1947-1948,
was written by the rock king Benny. Written by
Goodman, dedicated to Goodman. There are two
movements in total: 1. Slow and expressive, in a
ternary form. The theme is similar to the melody of
Sati's "Kino's Lament". The middle section is
designated as "wider area". Copland explained this
movement: "Among those materials, elements related
to popular music from North and South America were
subconsciously integrated. For instance, a Brazilian
pop song I heard in Rio was used as a chorus in F
major." 2. Hurry up, free rondo. Copland instructed
that "the lead instrument is delicate and ghostly",
with a rumba rhythm in the middle part, and finally
ends with a rumba pattern under the stubborn bass
rhythm of jazz. |
