The Copland 2000 series

A series of books published to coincide with the centennial of Copland's birth.

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 honoured cultural figures in United States history. Among countless awards and honours, Copland received the Pulitzer Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. This exciting series of arrangements offers soloists the opportunity to experience some of Copland's pioneering musical achievements in the establishment of a uniquely American idiom.

"So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning." - Aaron Copland
