On The Eve Of An Election In A Divided Country, The Story Behind A Fanfare For The Common Man

MUSIC Posted: November 7, 2016 10:31 am

Copland’s Fanfare is an American anthem. “It was written for the heartland, specifically Cincinnati. But it was also for America. In the end, it was not written for a general or a president, but for the “Common Man,” those“doing all the dirty work” in wartime – in Copland’s words. For those who voted and paid taxes. For those who rationed sugar and gasoline. For a nation united against a common foe. For those who waited for their young men and women to come home.”
