Also active as a critic, mentor, advocate, and concert organizer, he played a decisive role in the growth of serious music in the Americas in the twentieth century. In The American Stravinsky, Gayle Murchison closely analyzes selected works to discern the specific compositional techniques Copland used, and to understand the degree to which they derived from European models, particularly the influence of Igor Stravinsky. Murchison examines how Copland both Americanized these models and made them his own, thereby finding his own compositional voice. Murchison also discusses Copland's aesthetics of music and his ideas about its purpose and social function. 2018-03-01 23:55:55 2020-03-12 03:00:30 2020-04-01T12:49:32Z 2020-04-01T12:49:32Z 2012 book 648330 OCN: 1038443010 9780472099849 9780472069842 9780472125043 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/30248 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 648330.pdf University of Michigan Press 10.3998/mpub.105530 100864 10.3998/mpub.105530 e07ce9b5-7a46-4096-8f0c-bc1920e3d889 b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9780472099849 9780472069842 9780472125043 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Ann Arbor 100864 KU Select 2017: Backlist Collection Knowledge Unlatched open access
