Im 55yr old english fella, a roofer/prison officer, two noble trades if done properly. A common man, i take Mr.Copelands song personally. Its for us all,
Eugene Goosens called on Copeland to write this song as a tribute to all the common men called on to perform uncommon tasks in WW2. Goosens was the conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Aaron Copeland wrote the soundtrack to America, his Rodeo is the musical equivalent of Fredrick Remington's paintings of the old west, having grown up in the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania I can assure you the story of him spending a springtime in a cabin in the Pennsylvania mountians to get the inspiration to write Appalachian Spring is 100% true, right now as I speak it's springtime in our Pennsylvania mountians, as the songbirds return and the forest comes back to life you can just feel that song in the air.
I started playing this (both versions) in high school orchestra and marching band. I am 64 now and still playing. Blood stays pumping with Aaron Copeland /ELP music classic.
What to say abour this...nothing, It reflecta how we aré as human beings, such a tribute to mankind, I'm 58 grew up with solid rock, blusa, soul an so on, this son wraps up all...thx to ELP
I am a classically trained musician who had just started music school at the local university when Emerson Lake and Palmer came out with their album version of Copeland. Both versions bring back fond memories of a happy time in my life.
Just brilliant, loved how these classically trained musicians were really into the ELP piece. Still love the original version from ELP . Got emotional right through this, music can do this to you.
While I tend to be a strict purist, the transition to the upbeat ELP arrangement was a pleasant suprise. The orchestra members looked like they were having a great time with it. Very nice
This is a masterpiece. Music has to encourage, entice, uplift the common person. This piece did that and more, it propelled the individual to become greater than themselves.
Nah fam, gang on dah shih mang, I be a schtraight thug n shih mang, glad you yt peepo passed yo civilization to us blacks. Now iz r turn to lead you yt's, we kangz and now uze gon bow down.
I love this rendition of the song by Copeland. It should be in the repertoire of every symphony orchestra. Emerson, Lake and Palmer did a great job--and it will live through the ages. Thank you !!
Wasn’t expecting the orchestral version of ELP’s prog rock 🪨 🎸🎸👩🎤🥸masterpiece at the end! This is cool 😎 and I’d bet all those musicians had the time of their lives bashing this one out on stage? 🎸👍🤜👏👏👏👏👏👏👏BRAVO!!!! BRAVO 🙌 BRAVO!!!!!👏👏👏
I agree. The Emerson part does not (to me) quite work in this orchestration, or performance. The voicings do not capture the angularity, muscularity and musical intelligence of the original. But I concede that anyone not intimately familiar with the source material would find a lot to enjoy. And the Copeland (opening) portion is excellent: faithfully rendered, as Kerenna points out, and in a very "musicianly" and sensitive way.
The second half of this tribute to America has such a delightful surprising jazz ending. One of the best of Aaron Copland a close friend of Leonard Bernstein
Ho servito l'Italia nel 1982 negli Alpini. L'ultima notte in caserma, in piazza d'armi ci hanno dedicato il "Silenzio fuori ordinanza". Avrei preferito una di queste due. O tutt'e due
It's very strange that only one guy knows the "rock" (no jazz at all!) version of Fanfare by Emerson Lake and Palmer, great trio of musicians who reinterpretated classics (Bartok, Janacek, Bach, Mussorsgky, Stravinsky and Copland) in the '70s. Thanks God I had the chance to live those years and appreciate rock music!!! See how the player in the orchestra enjoy the rock part of Fanfare..... Great.Thanks to Keith Emerson!!!
@@patriciadyar2482 so did I in Detroit, and they returned a few months later, sans orchestra, it was too expensive a tour. Still, two of the greatest shows I've ever seen!!
I absolutely adore this rendering of this piece! The trumpets at the beginning sound like one trumpet and t as they move into the harmony it is seamless and gorgeous!!
Thanks for the upload! Nearly every comment here seems to have little idea of the contribution of Keith Emerson to stylizing and modernizing a number of classical composers - Copeland included. His progressive-rock-classical works began in 1970 with Greg Lake and Carson Palmer, and are essential listening - even for you classicist snobs.
Well... actually Keith made me dig out Jean Sibelius' great music Karelia Suite, as he recorded a live rendition with his group The Nice. This was before ELP. great stuff, both The Keith version and the original! probably some of the best classical music to start with, if you enjoy classic prog and want to try on some classical music.
Super. Aus der Traum..... Augen zu, und reinhöhren. Dann spüre Deinen eigenen Traum. Du musst aber bereit sein, es in Dich zu lassen. Wer spielt noch in der Richtung ? Ich bin stolz mit 59.
Impressive tonal quality, timing and spacing by the brass in the opening Copland segment and really enjoyed the ELP treatment at the end. One of the best renditions on RUclips! My compliments to this fine young orchestra.
It ALL gives chills. It's awesomely inspired. I wrote a fanfare that was inspired directly by this (I'll cop to it straight up, even though Copland himself was no doubt inspired by Janacek's Sinfonietta, written about 15 years before. Dueling Fanfares). This is an astounding Lincolnesque fanfare. What I wrote was premiered at Easter Sunday High Mass, and I masked the connection, for trumpet and brass synethesizer setting, though it was all written for the limitations of my original synthesizer, a Moog that was not polyphonic, but would play two notes at once. In harmony classes in younger years, I had read it was verboten to write melodic lines in parallel 5ths, so the piece was written in all parallel fifths, basically. So there. Take that, pedants! In any case, it was a hit, and I'm proud to have made something work that was said not to be viable musically, and that was my tribute to Copland, with his open fourths and fifths, so jaw dropping in the open sound of fanfares that seem to predate the first human brass instruments. From Above. Certainly this music is. And the soul snaps to attention with the first notification by the gong and then fanfare. Gabriel, is that you calling? LOL
R.I.P. Keith Emerson, now the late and great. Notice it took about 50 people to play his keyboards part! This rock version is as fast as the 1977 live version by ELP elsewhere on RUclips with Carl Palmer's rotatin drum kit.
Yes he did approve of it and he became very close to Keith Emerson so close that Keith and his wife named the first born son Aaron after Aaron Copeland so that should tell you everything my friend isn’t this great music I grew up watching them perform in fact I saw them from almost the very beginning from 1973 through The year 2000 and I’ll tell you Keith Emerson RIP Greg Lake RIP thank God for Carl Palmer keeping the legacy alive which by the way is the name of his band I was so blessed seeing these guys thank you so much for indulging me
A GREAT PERFORMANCE OF THE ORIGINAL VERSION, BUT THE MODERN ONE IS MOST THAN AMAZING. BY THE EMOTION, IT ALMOST PROVOKE ME A BRAIN STROKE!. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL., FOR THIS INCREDIBLE GIFT!

You sir are a gentleman.

Exactly. Any job (trade) done properly is noble.
im45 y.o. Prison officer too - I'm pensioner now,from Russia. 👍😀
I said yes to the man I married 47 years ago with this music played live at our wedding.
Brilliant. Thank you
I started playing this (both versions) in high school orchestra and marching band. I am 64 now and still playing. Blood stays pumping with Aaron Copeland /ELP music classic.
Works Volume 1 tour, loge fourth row center, Madison Square Garden, I will never forget it.
I named my Beautiful Sloop
" Fanfare "
To pay honor to this amazing music.
ELP put their spin on a philharmonic piece; then a philharmonic put their spin on ELP's spin of a philharmonic piece. Great music!
Greatest concert I ever saw Emerson Lake and Palmer works with the orchestra ! Bar none!
Did not expect the orchestra to do the rock transistion. Pleasant surprise.
Age 78, listened to this countless times and I still get chills. LOVE Copeland's music which is 100% American.
The opening horn section with the harmonisation always sends tingles up my spine.
What to say abour this...nothing, It reflecta how we aré as human beings, such a tribute to mankind, I'm 58 grew up with solid rock, blusa, soul an so on, this son wraps up all...thx to ELP
So GREAT. Never get an better Performance Sinne Emerson an Lake and Palmer. You are Great. Love you too.
The opening horns on this piece always gives me chills.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Me as well! The impact is enormous ~ The resounding horns remind me of a Roman Colosseum.
Me too! Then they have fun and get “jazzy” at the end!
pareil pour moi !!!!
Yep! Just gorgeous! Beautifully done!
I am a classically trained musician who had just started music school at the local university when Emerson Lake and Palmer came out with their album version of Copeland. Both versions bring back fond memories of a happy time in my life.
Copeland and ELP were a good mix. Couldn't say the same for Metallica.. And if my fave band Megadeth tried it. Never
The orchestra did the ELP version of Fanfare For The Common Man by Aaron Copeland. Life has come FULL Circle!
I love how all those young kids now know who ELP were/are and appreciate them.
Keep the faith. There's hope yet for the world as we know it.
As a musician, Fanfare is my absolute favorite song of all time. Original, ELP, this version, it doesn't matter. The song is so powerful.
In my opinion, both versions are, and will always be FANTASTIC!
I have this as my ring tone.
Never fails to get a compliment.
Love it !
Fabulous. Amazing. The musicians are clearly loving it. This goes in my 'favorites'.
Listening to this with nice quality headphones is amazing. My common man Blue Collar anthem.
It features ELP's work, they have to be acknowledged for their arrangement of the Copeland piece.
Love it and loved ELP, epic 70s musicians.
The co-ordination to bring all these people to work in harmony is incredible when you think about it !!
Quite simply terrific arrangement. What’s not to love?
Great tribute to ELP and their version of it.
Yep! I just have loved it since 2013!!! So young, play BEAUTIFULLY!!!!
Just brilliant, loved how these classically trained musicians were really into the ELP piece. Still love the original version from ELP . Got emotional right through this, music can do this to you.
Beautiful version of an Aaron Copland masterpiece.
Chills spectacular. It works
He was asked to write a fanfare for the nations soldiers, but decided to do it for the workers, the common man behind the war effort.
Amazing, stunning, magnificent ...
Wow...Both Colpand and ELP would be proud. So well done.
FUCK YEAH, This is THE ultimate!
Excellent.
3.55 min in, and im tearing up. So much power.
I am too. So awesome!♥️♥️
While I tend to be a strict purist, the transition to the upbeat ELP arrangement was a pleasant suprise. The orchestra members looked like they were having a great time with it. Very nice
Yes: their enjoyment was palpable.
RIP Keith Emerson.
...and Greg Lake...:(
Palmer is still living.😁😁😁❤❤❤
This is a masterpiece. Music has to encourage, entice, uplift the common person. This piece did that and more, it propelled the individual to become greater than themselves.
It's so peaceful and enlightening. Comfort to my heart. I am common.
Nah fam, gang on dah shih mang, I be a schtraight thug n shih mang, glad you yt peepo passed yo civilization to us blacks. Now iz r turn to lead you yt's, we kangz and now uze gon bow down.
an anthem for the citizens of our wonderful planet earth and rightly so!
RECORDAR ES VOLVER A VIVIR QUE BELLEZA DE MUSICA YO ERA UNA ADOLECENTE CUANDO EMPECE A ESCUCHAR A ELP ESCUCHO Y ME EMOCIONO
The greatest testament to the music is seeing how much the musicians enjoy performing the piece,
Sehr gut! Grusse aus Minnesota, USA
BRAVO, FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL. Congratulations to all of you. Here in the USA, I call that CLASS! Danke, Danke, Danke.
I was lucky enough to see them when they tour the "Works" album.Concert was amazing.
Absolutely priceless
What a tribute !
Homage to ELP
I believe it to be one of the best pieces ever written and ELP the best to play it. Marvelous!
I love this rendition of the song by Copeland. It should be in the repertoire of every symphony orchestra.
Emerson, Lake and Palmer did a great job--and it will live through the ages. Thank you !!
Pure musical beauty.....and it brings a tear to my eye
Yes, indeed it does. Copious tears. Involuntary.
Fabulous. I still have all my ELP albums from HS. Thanks for posting. Really takes me back.
I'm very psyched that I searched for this, nice work by all 😊❤
This is SO powerful!
The famous ELP's arrangement for Copland's Fanfarre For The Common Man.
Maravillosa version.
Wasn’t expecting the orchestral version of ELP’s prog rock 🪨 🎸🎸👩🎤🥸masterpiece at the end! This is cool 😎 and I’d bet all those musicians had the time of their lives bashing this one out on stage? 🎸👍🤜👏👏👏👏👏👏👏BRAVO!!!! BRAVO 🙌 BRAVO!!!!!👏👏👏
for working poeple song
Well done...
Ausgezeichnet! Vielen Dank!
Beautiful and magnificent rendition of one of my favorite songs.
Fantastic! I had heard years ago a work like this was done and now I finally see it!
I just fucking love this
Loved it.The first half was my favorite part. How they were harmonizing and didn't miss a note
I agree. The Emerson part does not (to me) quite work in this orchestration, or performance.
The voicings do not capture the angularity, muscularity and musical intelligence of the original.
But I concede that anyone not intimately familiar with the source material would find a lot to enjoy.
And the Copeland (opening) portion is excellent: faithfully rendered, as Kerenna points out, and in a very "musicianly" and sensitive way.
The second half of this tribute to America has such a delightful surprising jazz ending. One of the best of Aaron Copland a close friend of Leonard Bernstein
Aaron Copland, America's best composer of the 20th Century. The last half is incredibly done and what rhythm and drums.
Walter Futterweit I would put George Gershwin and John Williams in that group as well.
James Covington
yup
Yes, their rendering of Emerson, Lake & Palmer version of the song is nice.
I always thought the "common man" referred to humans, not Americans.
bmo Can't get get much more common than that.
Excelente ejecución, tanto de la versión original de Copland, como de la versión de ELP que nunca había escuchado...gracias por compartirla.
Very great! I love it! Many thanks!
Ho servito l'Italia nel 1982 negli Alpini. L'ultima notte in caserma, in piazza d'armi ci hanno dedicato il "Silenzio fuori ordinanza". Avrei preferito una di queste due. O tutt'e due
Still amazing .... 2019.
No hay algo mejor para un atleta que un camino largo y un entrenamiento extenuante, en mi mente ese sonido motivándome a seguir, seguir, seguir...
Love Mr.Copelands work, he lived in my home town of Peekskill ,New York. What a neighbor to have!!
It's very strange that only one guy knows the "rock" (no jazz at all!) version of Fanfare by Emerson Lake and Palmer, great trio of musicians who reinterpretated classics (Bartok, Janacek, Bach, Mussorsgky, Stravinsky and Copland) in the '70s.

+fabiola leonardi I had the great privilege of attending the "Works" tour in 1977 while they still had the orchestra with them. It was magnificent!
Yeah, we had the good music, they have Justin Bieber
manca Sibelius .e hai ancora gli LP dei Nice ???
Fan of Copland, fan of ELP, this was fun!! Great music.
@@patriciadyar2482 so did I in Detroit, and they returned a few months later, sans orchestra, it was too expensive a tour. Still, two of the greatest shows I've ever seen!!
Magnificent! What an amazing version. A real head-banger and foot-tapper.

VERY COOL !!
As a Copeland fan, I hope others will explore his other work. A wonderful composer of American music.
Copeland has some AMAZING compositions....such a Blessing
I love listening to this. I could listen to this forever practically. Some ofvthe other comments are awesome.
Wow! This is a great rendition of this piece. All those players did both Aaron Copland and ELP justice!
Right on!
Wonderful mix, always loved the ELP version and the symphony. Putting the two together is amazing.
Deporteeeeeveeee, esa canción era la intro del programa, la conocí el día de hoy por un amigo
awesome. young girls and boys playing their heart outs
This goes HARD!
GREAT JOB!!!!
This is played as I walk to the Grill to create another masterpiece.
This was one of several pieces commissioned by the US government during the last months of WWII.
Wonderful! Such a beautiful wall of music.
WHAT A TREAT TO HEAR THIS POWERFUL MUSIC OF COPLAND WHAT A GREAT ORCH AND WHAT A SOUND THEY CAN MAKE..OUTSTANDING MUSICIANS...BRAVO..BRAVO.....

Yep! Supercool! My pal, Bobby Graham (DC Police Dept ret) told me about this: he played it as a music therapy major at Howard U 1979.
This does, in fact, rock
I did 12 years US Army Infantry.
Wonderfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect.....
Great performance!

Fantastico, Maravilhoso, splendido,etc.
What a great version!

Yes he did approve of it and he became very close to Keith Emerson so close that Keith and his wife named the first born son Aaron after Aaron Copeland so that should tell you everything my friend isn’t this great music I grew up watching them perform in fact I saw them from almost the very beginning from 1973 through The year 2000 and I’ll tell you Keith Emerson RIP Greg Lake RIP thank God for Carl Palmer keeping the legacy alive which by the way is the name of his band I was so blessed seeing these guys thank you so much for indulging me
