Aaron Copland

    Aaron Copland bol po celé desaťročia považovaný za popredného amerického skladateľa, ktorého diela siahali od baletov a orchestrálnej hudby až po filmové partitúry. Jeho hudobný vývoj odrážal kľúčové trendy svojej doby, od raných experimentov s jazzovými rytmami a neoklasicizmom až po zjednodušenie štýlu, ktoré mu umožnilo osloviť širšie publikum prostredníctvom rozhlasu a filmu. Vo svojich neskorších rokoch sa Copland venoval aj dvanásťtónovej technike, ako je vidieť v jeho skladbe pre slávnostné otvorenie Lincoln Center. Po roku 1970 prestal skladať, ale naďalej prednášal a dirigoval.
