Where can I buy piano solo sheet music of Old American Songs by AARON COPLAND arranged by the late Alan Marks?
I only want the arrangement by Alan Marks for solo piano, but cant seem to find it anywhere. You can hear the arrangement on this CD http://www.wyastone.co.uk/nrl/main/5267a.html
Answer: Boosey and Hawkes holds the rights to Copland works, but I don't see the Marks transcription listed. This would seem to imply that it was never published.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to music that is similar to AARON COPLAND?
I have many of his songs; Im just getting a little board with them...
Answer: With all respect for the previous intersting suggestions, this question is sort of obliged in response. Leonard Bernstein is objectively heir to Copland. Died in the same year, Jewish background and a personal relationship which went far beyond mentorship; I won’t discuss this point.
Musically, Copland gave his best in the expression of an american spirit which emerged brilliantly in his symphonic dances, an original form he developed from the beginning.
•Fanfare for the Common Man
•John Henry
•Music for a Great City
•Quiet City

•Old american songs
Lenny went after with ballets and musicals and the wonderful soundtrack of ‘On the Waterfront’ (‘Trouble in Tahiti’, ‘West Side Story’, ‘1600 Pennsylvania Avenue’, ‘Songfest: A Cycle of American Poems’).
The link to the original jewish culture and sense of belonging appeared more strongly in Lenny than in Copland, but he too worked on that with ‘Vitebsk’, for voice and in a three-piano version. Vitebsk was the jewish russian village made immortal by painter Chagall (who was born there).

What did AARON COPLAND mean in this quote?
“To explain the creative musicians basic objective in elementary terms, I would say that a composer writes music to express and communicate and put down in permanent form certain thoughts, emotions, and states of being. These thoughts and emotions are gradually formed by the contact of the composers personality with the world in which he lives. He expresses these thoughts (musical ones…) in the musical language of his own time. The resultant work of art should speak to men and women of the artists own time with a directness and immediacy of communicative power that no previous art expression can give.” -Aaron copland
What "thoughts, emotions,and states of being" do you notice musicians today committing to musical form?
Answer: Copeland's music is interesting, though I'm not a huge fan. Composers were really into the music and melodies, you don't see that often any more. There's still some awesome music being written, but you don't see the old style like anthems to planets like Holst, or 'midnight sonata' by Mozart, or Copeland's own "Fanfare for the common man" (excellent song, also excellent version done by ELP). - things that are musical dedications meant to invoke a certain thought with no corresponding lyrics.

So said his daughter, Jamie Bernstein, as she narrated Late Night With Leonard - By PHILLIP LUTZ
How did AARON COPLANDs music create the American Sound?
Aaron coplands music has often been identified as the sound of America and one of the first composers to develop a unique "American Sound". What were some ways he created this unique sound?
Answer: Aaron copland (1900 – 1990) was an American composer of concert and film music. He was of Lithuanian Jewish descent.
Instrumental in forging a distinctly American style of composition, he was widely known as “the dean of American composers.” Copland's music achieved a difficult balance between modern music and American folk styles, and the open, slowly changing harmonies of many of his works are said to evoke the vast American landscape.
He incorporated percussive orchestration, changing meter, polyrhythms, polychords and tone rows. He also worked as a conductor, most frequently for his own works.
Upon his return from his studies in Paris, he decided that he wanted to write works that were "American in character" and thus he chose jazz as the American idiom. His first significant work was the necromantic ballet Grohg which contributed thematic material to his later Dance Symphony. Other major works of his first period (austere) include the Music for Theater in 1925, the Piano Variations in 1930, and in 1933 the Short Symphony. However, this jazz-inspired period was brief, as his style evolved toward the goal of writing more accessible works.
Several composers rejected the notion of writing music for the elite during the Depression, thus the common American folklore served as the basis for his work along with revival hymns, and cowboy and folk songs. At a time when conservatories were teaching more astringent methods of composition, Copland held onto the respect of academics with the reasonable statement that he wanted to see if he couldn't say what he had to say in the simplest possible terms.
His second period, the vernacular period, began about 1936 with Billy the Kid and El Salón México. Fanfare for the Common Man, perhaps Copland's most famous work, scored for brass and percussion, was written in 1942 at the request of the conductor Eugene Goossens, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. It would later be used to open many Democratic National Conventions. The fanfare was also used as the main theme of the fourth movement of Copland's Third Symphony, where it first appears in a quiet, pastoral manner, then in the brassier form of the original.
The same year Copland wrote A Lincoln Portrait which became popular with a wider audience, leading to a strengthening in his association with American music.
He was commissioned to write a ballet, Appalachian Spring, which he later arranged as a popular orchestral suite. The commission for Appalachian Spring came from Martha Graham, who had requested of Copland merely "music for an American ballet". Copland titled the piece "Music for Martha", having no idea of how she would use it on stage. Graham created a ballet she called Appalachian Spring, which was an instant success, and the music acquired the same name. Copland was amused and delighted later in life when people would come up to him and say: "You were so right - it sounds exactly like spring in the Appalachians", as he had no particular program in mind while writing the music.
The ballet Rodeo, a tale of a ranch wedding, written around the same time as Lincoln Portrait in 1942 is another enduring composition for Copland, and the "Hoe-Down" from the ballet is one of the most well-known compositions by any American composer, having been used numerous times in movies and on television.
IN SUMMARY
I think his decision to write accessible non-elitist music and base his work on folk tunes was the key reason for his becoming associated with the American Sound. This was no conservatoire academic, he remained connected to the Comon Man, as he would have to be to write a Fanfare for him.
Copeland's drawing on folk tunes for his compositions has certain obvious similarities with the Hungarian composer Béla Viktor János Bartók (1881 – 1945) who was a collector of Eastern European and Middle Eastern folk music and frequently incorporated these is his compositions.
