Music for the Common Man: Aaron Copland during the Depression and War
Crist, Elizabeth B. (Assistant Professor of Musicology, Assistant Professor of Musicology, University of Texas at Austin)
Music for the Common Man examines Copland's most celebrated music in the context of progressive politics during the 1930s and 1940s, arguing that such works as El Salon Mexico, Billy the Kid, and Appalachian Spring represent the aesthetic expression of leftwing cultural currents.
