Sunday Music: Fanfare For The Common Man



Aaron Copland is among a very small and select group of American composers who were (or are) certified geniuses and national treasures. If it sounded familiar, but you didn't know what this piece was called before today, pay heed: it was written in your honor. In case you always thought you deserved your own theme song, that's been taken care of herewith, since 1942.

And today, of all days, I couldn't imagine a better group to perform it in your honor.

    In the late '70s, Emerson, Lake and Palmer did a recording of Fanfare. Did well on the UK charts. When I saw your title, I thought it would be the one you linked.
