Among short pieces of music, I really like Fanfare for the
Common Man, by Aaron Copland.
There’s nothing common about it.
Come to think of it, I’ve never met a common man. I’ve met funny, smart, mean, weak,
strong, stupid, interesting, dull, devious, dangerous, lazy, angry, goofy and
serious men, but never one I would describe as common.
We’re gonna’ have to find a new title for Aaron’s wonderful
piece.
