Fanfare for the Common Man

Album by Aaron Copland & Orquesta Filarmónica de la Ciudad de México & Enrique Bátiz

Fanfare for the Common Man is a 1942 orchestral fanfare composed by American composer Aaron Copland. Scored for brass and percussion, it uses open intervals, bold rhythmic figuration and broad, slow-moving harmonies to evoke a spacious, distinctly 'American' orchestral sound and reflects Copland's mid-career turn toward populist, civic-oriented compositions during the World War II era.
