<munch, munch, munch, CHOMP> Last Thursday, I went to an all-Copeland concert at Carnegie Hall by the Pittsburgh Symphony under Andre Previn. The concert had a mix of some of Copeland's pre World War II works which I enjoy (e.g. Appalacian Spring, El Salon Mexico, Rodeo) - although I was disappointed by this performance of them and some of the later works which I don't like (e.g. his 1962 "Connotations") Frankly, I find it hard to relate to "modern" classical music - it doesn't contain sound patterns that I can relate to as musical in the way that pre-twentieth century classical music, or relatively modern jazz works do.
