Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring Suite
Check out this video for Aaron's Copland's iconic Appalachian Spring Suite, an orchestral suite based on a ballet version composed in 1944 to choreography by Martha Graham. Set in 19th-century antebellum Pennsylvania in a small Appalachian settlement, Appallachian Spring seems to irresistibly evoke sentiments of, as Martha Graham described it, "a legend of American living."
