It would be difficult to overestimate the influence of Copland's music on American music of the 20th and 21st centuries. His songs and arias provide a concise tour of his stylistic journey and most of the songs are available in this remarkable volume.Includes: 9 songs (including 4 early songs); the complete 12 settings of Emily Dickinson's poems; 3 arias. The songs have been transposed down either a major or minor third; the original key is retained for the Emily Dickinson settings and the arias.
