An Aaron Copland Question


If Mr. Copland were alive today, do you feel he would still write a "Fanfare For The Common Man"?

Thanks to all. How would Copland see today's common man? Is that common man still the strength of our country? I am not so sure. It seems that the average person of today is quite crude.

A man from Johns Hopkins has a book out titled: "Choosing
Civility", and it is worth reading. I agree with his thoughts in the book....ie: the common man of today may be a bit too common.

This is the basis of my question, how does today's "common man" compare with the one of Coplan's time...and would todays inspire Mr. Copland to greatness?
