Copland, A :: Copland for Flute

Aaron Copland's music is characteristically and recognisably American. Copland's untiring efforts to ensure that his works would speak to the average citizen as well as to his fellow artists made him one of the most honored cultural figures in United States history. Among countless awards and honors, Copland received the Pulitzer Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The Instrumental Album collection is part of a series of arrangements offering soloists the opportunity to experience some of Copland's pioneering musical achievements in the establishment of a uniquely American idiom.

This flute solo book pairs with the piano accompaniment book, the Copland Instrumental Album: Piano Accompaniment, available separately.
