Aaron Copland

Any tips for someone to follow?

Hey, I only caught a bit of this segment in the car, but I'd like the find the rest. The interviewee was a musician who had either recently recorded some Copeland, or something else having to do with him. I thought the interviewer was Terry Gross, but I don't see it listed on the Fresh Air website.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I'm trying to listen to the concert right now and it's killing me not being able to figure this out. It's this part right

Jeopardy! recap for Thur., Sept. 13 - Let's meet today's contestants:

• Lauren, a teaching artist from New York, turns elementary school writings into sketch comedy;

• Shawn, a regional human resources manager from Florida, has been to over 300 concerts over the past 10 years; and

• Kyle, a music teacher from Colorado, blessed a priest at The Vatican. Kyle is a one-day champ with winnings of $28,401.

Kyle found DD3 from second position and was able to tie up the contest with Shawn, then kept moving forward to secure first place going into FJ with $16,800 vs. $12,000 for Shawn and $6,600 for Lauren.

DD1 - I GOT A FEVER - Random House defines this "fever" as "greed and excitement caused by" it and dates the term to the 1840s (Kyle lost $2,000)

DD2 - ARTS & CULTURE - He had nothing to do with the title, but Aaron Copeland said, "I've begun to see the" mountains "myself" on hearing this piece (Shawn lost $1,600)

DD3 - CONTRACTIONS - A 2015 book says that for over 200 years, this word "has been knocking at the door of standard English" but is still shunned (Kyle won $4,000)

FJ - BEFORE THEY BECAME PRESIDENT - On October 4, 1940, for the premiere of what's been called his most famous movie role, Ronald Reagan was in this city

This season's FJ hot streak came to an abrupt halt, as surprisingly no one was correct.

This should have resulted in a win for Shawn, but instead of betting just enough to cover a possible double-up by Lauren, he lost $8,000, finishing with $4,000. This allowed Kyle to escape with the victory when he dropped $7,201 to $9,599 for a two-day total of $38,000.

Triple Stumper of the day: No one was able to provide the product in the ad slogan "We got the fever for the flavor of a Pringle's".

This day in Trebekistan: Alex doesn't have the rhythm down of the "gimme gimme gimme" lyrics from "Honky Tonk Women", and thinks his body looks a lot like Neptune's.

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is gold fever? DD2 - What is "Appalachian Spring"? DD3 - What is ain't? FJ - What is South Bend, Indiana?

Hey ya’ll!

I’m an introverted extrovert working remotely and looking for some people to connect with. It’s a little lonely in my world right now, so I’d love someone or someone’s to connect with on a regular basis. I’d be open to write letters, e-mail, chat on here, carrier pigeon — really, to any form of communication.

I love trying new things and meeting new people. Skydiving, bungee jumping, diving with great whites? Sign me up. I’m not afraid to venture into the unknown, but should probably exercise a little bit more caution…I was once falsely imprisoned by a well meaning but forceful volunteer trail maintenance worker. I won’t let one bad experience sully my zest for life, however.

I love to collect geriatric hobbies (crafting, letter writing, overusing my label maker for things that don’t even need labels), and also enjoy reading, baking, and crocheting. So far I’ve crocheted a potholder, but it’s been a fun process and I think I have a blanket in my future. I have ADHD so I also have a robust hobby graveyard — sewing, backpacking, geocaching, resin art, drying flowers, calligraphy, ukulele, kayaking, candle making, veggie gardening, and card making being just a few. 🥴

I really enjoy all things pop culture, including current events, music, movies, and TV shows. I finally got around to watching Community, and have been enjoying that so much. I’m also a diehard RuPaul’s Drag Race fan. If you have any music/tv/movie recommendations, I’d love to hear it! Recently, I’ve entered my R&B and house music era. I was raised in a musical family and enjoy an eclectic variety of music — from The Who to Aaron Copeland. I don’t generally enjoy live shows, but I have a lotta bit of FOMO over missing Beyoncé at Coachella. Luckilly, Homecoming is still on Netflix and in my monthly rotation.

Music and food are the way I show people I care. All of my friends have curated playlists I secretly keep for them, comprised of every song that I’ve seen makes them smile or they sing along to. When they have a rough day or week or month, I’ll reveal their playlist to cheer them up and bring them joy. I pride myself on my punny playlist names and genre-bending curation.

I’m a huge foodie and love every genre of food. Outside of mushrooms, I’ll generally try anything. Jellyfish, beetles, and Rocky Mountain oysters are one and dones, but I’ll give anything else a first (or second) chance.

I have an incredibly dark, inappropriate sense of humor. Want to share way too soon jokes, talk about disgusting things over dinner, and poke fun at the stupidity of society together? I’m your gal.

If any of this piques your interest (or even if it doesn't, let's keep it interesting), drop me a message! 🚀🎶🤪

*edit: I can’t spell for shit, nor can I use spell check apparently. Hopefully the edits help make this slightly more intelligible.

A level of detail in the music:

In the flashback where Melmont assaults Cornelia at her house. There is an old man in the house - it wasn't clear to me at the time who he was, but it turns out that he was a piano tuner. Others thought he might have been Cornelia's father or butler, but no - he's a piano tuner.

Anyway, as Melmont is leaving he stops for a moment and listens and asks the man what he is playing. The man replies "Anton Dvorak". That was a creepy scene.

. Dvorak was a Czech composer who was just getting getting popular in 1875 (the time of that flashback sequence).

In 1892 (two years after the main story of The English takes place) he moved to the U.S. and was inspired (and handsomely paid) to write his Symphony #9 "" (a.k.a. "A New World Symphony"). That in turn was influenced by the music he heard in the States, including native American music and African-American music.

" Dvořák was influenced not only by music he had heard, but by what he had seen, in America. He wrote that he would not have composed his American pieces as he had if he had not seen America. It has been said that Dvořák was inspired by the "wide open spaces" of America, such as prairies he may have seen on his trip to Iowa in the summer of 1893. Notices about several performances of the symphony include the phrase "wide open spaces" about what inspired the symphony and/or about the feelings it conveys to listeners. "

#9 became Dvorak's most popular piece to date by a wide margin. Written just a few years off from the time of the film's story. Written by a European person awed by the wide open spaces of the American west and the cultures in that place.

It's still pretty popular. Back in the day we played in my high school concert band, I hear it from time to time on the classical music station that I listen to on my boring commute.

The style of that music was then a huge influence on music depicting the grandeur of the American west - maybe not as much as others like Aaron Copeland, but close.

Then Dvorak returned to Europe and lived there the rest of his days (like Cornelia).

That just seemed a perfect choice of composer to reference.

So I was watching Boston Crusaders show Ode To Joy from 2005, when I heard Coplands The Promise of Living. I then got to thinking, Cadets played Copland this past year and Crown did Fanfare for the Common Man in 2012 so I began to wonder how much Copland have corps used in the past. I went on a search on corpsreps and found that since 1965 there has only been two years where Copland was not played. 1966 and 1989. My question is what makes Copland such a good composer to be used year after year, obviously he is a fantastic composer, one of my favorites actually, but what about him makes him great for this activity. Are there any other composers that have been/could be used to this extreme?
