Variations On A Shaker Melody
Aaron Copland wrote three ballets during his career. This was his third ballet, and was the only ballet that did not make extensive use of folk melodies. The only song that Copland included along with his original music was the old Shaker hymn "Simple Gifts". With the unmistakeable Copland harmonies, "Variations On A Shaker Melody" is sure to be a welcome addition to your band's library. Technical Notes: Aaron Copland's music is characteristically and recognizably American. Copland's untiring efforts to ensure that his works would speak to the average citizen as well as to his fellow artists made him one of the most honored cultural figures in United States history. Among countless awards and honors, Copland received the Pulitzer Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. This exciting series of arrangements offers symphonic bands and orchestras the opportunity to experience some of Copland's pioneering musical achievements in the establishment of a uniquely American idiom. The percussion part is labeled "Timpani & Percussion" and is written for timpani, glockenspiel, triangle, and xylophone. Composer(s): This piece was composed by Aaron Copland. Publisher: This piece was published by Boosey & Hawkes.
