Aaron Copland

    Aaron Copland byl celoživotně považován za předního amerického skladatele, jehož dílo pokrývalo širokou škálu žánrů od baletů a orchestrálních skladeb po filmové partitury. Jeho hudební vývoj odrážel klíčové trendy své doby, od počátečních experimentů s jazzovými rytmy a neoklasicismem po zjednodušení stylu, které mu umožnilo oslovit širší publikum prostřednictvím rozhlasu a filmu. V pozdějších letech své kariéry se Copland věnoval také dodekafonické technice, což dokazuje jeho skladba pro slavnostní otevření Lincoln Center. Po roce 1970 se přestal věnovat kompozici, ale nadále přednášel a dirigoval.
