Gênero

Música clássica

Chamado de “decano dos compositores norte-americanos”, Aaron Copland (1900-1990) foi um dos grandes responsáveis pela popularização da música de concerto nos EUA no século XX. Filho de imigrantes lituanos judeus, Copland nasceu em Nova York e começou a estudar piano aos 13 anos. Depois de estudar teoria e composição com Rubin Goldmark, ele foi para Paris em 1921 e se tornou um dos primeiros alunos norte-americanos da professora Nadia Boulanger. Seus primeiros trabalhos, como Music for the Theatre (1925) e Piano Concerto (1926), combinavam um neoclassicismo influenciado por Stravinsky e uma pitada de jazz. Durante a crise de 1929, a música de Copland ficou mais abstrata e modernista, principalmente nas Piano Variations (1930), mas logo o compositor mudaria de rumo. Ele produziu obras orquestrais populares que evocam salões de dança mexicanos, danças de caubóis e hinos religiosos dos shakers, como El Salón México (1936), Billy the Kid (1938), Rodeo (1942) e Appalachian Spring, esta composta para Martha Graham em 1944. A Segunda Guerra Mundial fortaleceu o patriotismo do compositor em obras como Lincoln Portrait (1942) e Symphony Nº 3 (1944-46), enquanto o pós-guerra foi marcado pelo desafio de absorver a música de vanguarda. Após uma série de obras para voz, como Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson (1949-50) e a ópera The Tender Land (1954), ele produziu Piano Fantasy (1957) e Conotations (1962), obras austeras e serialistas. Professor e entusiasta generoso de outros compositores, Copland escreveu livros sobre música e compôs diversas trilhas para Hollywood. Ele morreu em 1990 aos 90 anos.
