I played flute in the New York Youth Symphony Orchestra on this piece at Carnegie Hall in 1978.. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Copland when he came to a rehearsal and conducted the orchestra on this piece.
Correction *1968
wow. That is so cool. How was he like?
APPLAUSE, AND MORE APPLAUSE! Hats off to you sir! I love this piece. I love Copeland's iconic compositions. I loved Bernstein (he achieved sainthood with West Side Story). The NY Philharmonic is a total class act! Long may it live!
Wow. I could have only wished!
Yes I stand corrected 1968
Watching Copland almost elevate off the podium as he exhorts the orchestra through those final, magnificent crescendos...it literally brings tears to my eyes. There is nothing like watching a genius conduct his own great composition. And god love Lenny Bernstein for always being the ultimate champion of Copland's incredible oeuvre.
There's nothing like Copland directed by Copland!!!!!! Thanks so much for posting!
Nothing better than Copland conducting Copland. When he passed away in 1990 I wore all black that day.
At the 8:09, 9:34, 10:01, and 11:03 minute marks -- my former teacher, Peter Simenauer, is playing the E-flat soprano clarinet solos. This was Peter's first season with the NY Philharmonic as its associate principal and E-flat soprano clarinetist -- a position he held from 1960 through 1998.
Two of my musical heroes. What joy to hear an American sound from the NYP . Copeland brings me peace, Lenny joy. Thanks for posting this.
Bernstein slips in from the wings at 12:05 so that he can be the one to smack the giant drum. With a big grin.
Wow!!! Great observation! Thanks for pointing that out. And I love the expression on Bernstein's face.... pure joy!
burtcolk thank you!
That is charming to learn. From what I know or remember about him, very much how he was about living his life.
Don’t forget about Epstein slipping out of prison
Copeland and Bernstein. 2 all time Great musicians 🙏 just beautiful❤
It was in the early 1950s that CBS telecast a Sunday afternoon hour-long program called "Omnibus" that was hosted by Alistair Cooke. It lasted until 1961. The show was along the lines of today's CBS Sunday Morning when Charles Kuralt and Charles Osgood were the hosts. Anyway, it was during a 1953 or 1954 edition of Omnibus that I was introduced to the music of Aaron Copland. I was 9 years old, taken by the claim that he had created an "American sound".....I've been a lover of Copland's works ever since. I attended his 80th Birthday concert at the Kennedy Center when he, Leonard Bernstein and Mstislav Rostropovich all took turns conducting the National Symphony.
Sitting in the choir in London's Royal Festival Hall, I saw Copland in the late 60s conducting his own work and Gershwin's Concerto in F. He seemed to be the most charming of men smiling as he conducted throughout all of the pieces and, for those of us who had never seen him before, particularly tall. Most of all, of course, he was a genius and wrote some of the greatest symphonic music of the 20th century that will entertain and inspire for centuries to come.
What??? How can anyone give this a thumbs down?!!! Miss you Lenny!!!!
What a great conductor Mr Copeland is? He makes very intricate melodies, and patterns look easy. Bravo
Giants walked the Earth in those days
Still one of my all-time favorites
Copland....what else is there to be said! His music captures the true feeling of American (the Southwest in particular) rugged adventure and individualism, ie, Billy The Kid Suite, Fanfare to the Common Man, etc, etc. The strains of his compositions truly are Americana......Matthew Brazille...Long Berach, CA
Excelente composición, histórica interpretación musical,👋👋👋👋👌🌈
Simply marvelous. What couple of titans. I miss the integrity, charisma and genius of both Lenny and Aaron. Eternal gratitude for all the gifts they left behind.
Thanks for posting this. It's an added pleasure to see Copland conducting it with such delight!
Wow, what a historical document!
This is such a masterwork of rhythm and texture. A superb performance and so great to see Copland take genuine pleasure in conducting it.
WONDERFUL job conducting!!!!!!
LOVE to see the composers conduct their own works.
One of Bernstein's first efforts was a piano transcription of El Salon Mexico. It's pretty amazing as well.
Thanks for sharing this historic moment!
This guy was having so much fun!!!
This symphony is a symphony of memories that I played at a brass band contest 40 years ago. At that time the record being released was limited. It seems like a dream that it is possible to enjoy the performances by composers in modern times.
Que hermosa musica, no puedo dejar de escucharla, el señor Aaron Copland un genio!!!
Pero criticó muy feo a Silvestre Revueltas en un escrito.
So beautiful and so powerful....
I’m not sure it’s gets better than this. It’s a musical painting.
El Salón México fue la primera obra que escuché de Copland, dirigida por Bernstein. Desde entonces ha permanecido en mí como una de las piezas favoritas del autor. Me ha encantado ver este vídeo dirigiéndola él mismo!!
Grande forza evocatrice. Atmosfere gioiose si alterna no a quelle malinconiche
Si lo sabías perdón: Se cuenta que el maestro Aaron Copland compuso esta obra maestra inspirado en el hecho de que un día visitó el Salón Mexico cuando este estaba en sus días de gloria, y el maestro Copland quedo muy impresionado por la fastuosidad del salón y del ambiente, que le daba toda la gente ahí presente bailando danzón, y de ahí le surgió la idea de componer esta obra titulándola con el nombre de aquel lugar que lo había dejado gratamente impresionado: “EL Salón México”.
@@MrCaifanero no lo sabía, gracias por la info. Dónde está ese Salón México?
love all things copeland and bernstein!! and the new york philharmonic
audio is great - too bad they didn't have high definition color video back then to go with it.
How anyone could give this superb performance the thumb's down is beyond me.
Stanley Drucker, principal clarinet. Looking like a kid genius then, he's still with us at 93.
Anyone who has ever tried to follow the score to this music will know how complex the rhythms are. It's an ordeal trying to follow it, never mind play it. It's a joy to listen to though.
Ironically, it is easy to conduct because while the players have odd placements of phrases, the "beating" is mostly in fours, twos, or six eights. No worries for the conductor. The fiddle players (especially) have to count like mad.
I don't think the rhythms are that complex though I'm sure they look complex on the page. You have to hear the music and hum it in the shower. What gives me trouble is Up the Neck by the Pretenders, or Spirits in the Material World by the Police though I'm sure the rhythms are trivially simple on the page.
DucksDeLucks - Have you played this? It’s far more complex than it sounds.
I can hum it. I have never played it in an orchestra. How can musical rhythm be more complex than it sounds? That's kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? Okay, it could look very complex on the page and since musicians have to follow the score it might give them trouble,. To me this music is intuitive whereas something like George Crumb is not intuitive. Bernstein's West Side Story music sounds rhythmically trickier to my ear.
Okay, humming is not playing it. A musical piece can easily be more complex than it sounds. I know many pieces that sound pertty simple when you listen to them, but when you actually play them, they're far more difficult and complex than you think. This is one of them. As the original poster said, it's much more difficult to play than to listen to. And saying that Sting is more difficult to play than Copland is pretty funny.
One of the first composers that was truly American
We played this in the late 80's in high school symphonic orchestra - I think we submitted it to State and won that year. Very challenging piece. Other performances I found didn't do it the justice this one did, thank you for posting.
Aaron Copland was a true genius. One of those excellent old-school composers, those unrivaled artists.
I can remember as a child placing the LP for this on our huge hi-fi, setting it turning and
just lying on the floor in front of its huge speakers and letting its sound pour over me. I
get it that Copland was inspired by the amazing music and dancers at El Salon, but I
cannot hear this piece without thinking of the Mexican Revolution... and I swear there
are parts having the spirit of the horses of the Villistas and the Zapatistas tearing over
the ridge to battle.
凄く貴重ですね！。私この曲大好きです。
この曲は日本の吹奏楽コンクールの自由曲の定番です。コンクールは時間制限があるのでだいぶカットされていますが、それでも素晴らしいです。あと、管弦楽だと吹奏楽とは感じが違いますね。私はどちらも好きです。
"The Men" sound excellent here! I love Copland.
In honor of our high school band director Mr. Art Guajardo. RIP.❤
What an excellent piece this is!
WOW! Copland was pure genius. One thing I noticed about this video, however, is that there are no women in the orchestra. I'd say we've come a long way since 1960!
Terry Prater I don't see any blacks or Sikhs either, but there is at least one jew: no prizes for spotting him. People get a job in an orchestra after playing to the required standard at an (often screened) audition and then being a pleasant colleague on the job. These simple criteria limit the number of suitable musicians so much that orchestras couldn't then and can't now afford to be choosy about sex, race or religion.
To clarify, it is your position that orchestras did not officially limit their membership to men in decades past?
walter wall Actually, it a well-known fact that both American and Europeans orchestras discriminated against women during much of the 20th century. You mentioned race and religion, but the fact is that those are much smaller percentages of the population than women... definitely a false equivolence. Do your research.
screened auditions are standard now, but weren't till the very late 20th century. Back then, it looked much more "official" or "prestigious" or whatever to have an all male orchestra. It was an expectation. Women could play in community orchestras, but not the big ones.
The Wiener Philharmoniker explicitly forbade women until the 1980s, I believe. The first female member, a harpist, was quite a controversial addition, I think.
...excellent..! I would love to see more of Copland conducting...!
We played this song when I was a senior in high school; I had that drum solo 👍
En los años 50 se filmó una película llamada Fiesta Brava, con Ricardo Montalban cuya inspiración musical era Salón México.
Bernstein has a lovely speaking voice - I've never really noticed that before... :)
Spike Lee She's GOTTA HAVE IT BRUNG ME TO THIS AMAZING ARTIST WOW!!!!!TO BE A FAN OF MUSIC U HAVE TO LUV ALL MUSIC MUSIC IS UNIVERSAL LANGUAGES ARE DIVIDED BUT MUSIC IS TIMELESS
It would've been an honor to play Mr. Copland's works under Aaron Copland himself. Fun fact, I was born 6 days after Aaron Copland's 100th birthday. I couldn't imagine living in a world where Stravinsky, Copland, and Bernstein were all alive.
I remember the closing part of this as the closing theme in the late 60's and early 70's for La Hora Nacional (The National Hour), a one-hour radio program produced by the General Directorate of Radio, Television and Film (RTC) of the Mexican Secretariat of the Interior, which airs at 10pm on Sunday nights on all radio stations in Mexico, as required by Mexican broadcasting law.
True, no wonder it sounds so familiar!...heard it throughout all my youth.
Qué nostalgia me produce ver y oír esto!! 1960... Uao!
I grew up on this great music from one set of grandparents. Other set was old time country & easy listening
Educated to be a HS music teacher (Tuba) & played this in orchestras
Muy muy impresionante
Festiva
Dulce
Y termina como México 🇲🇽
Explosiva
Hasta que vi la película "Salón México"
La conocí.
Even Saw the "Salón México" film ( by the way excellent ,master pièce)
Just know it Aaron Copland suite
Is't a Nice tribute
Master work
WONDERFULL¡¡¡¡
A definitive performance!
Saul Goodman on timpani. I trained to be a timpanist using his book : Modern Method for Timpani
This is my life in Salon México.
OMG this is so good
The movie Salon Mexico brought me here
Me too, I was watching the movie "Salon Mexico" and when they mentioned Copland and this compositon, I googled it inmediately.
Ist wirklich witzig. Der Komponist ist witzig. Bringt Humor in die Musik. Schön dass es ihn gab. Wie auch ,,Bought me a Cat...'' ist sehr lustig.
Wow!!
Wow👌
2 légendes de la musique américaine
it's amaging!
Y ese ritmo de habanera maravilloso 😍 del comienzo...
Describe Paul Bowles en sus Memorias de nómada, que vino con Aaron Copland a México y uno de los lugares que visitaron fue precisamente el salón de baile ubicado por el barrio de Santa María la Rivera que se llamaba Salón México, y de él se inspiró como una narrativa de esas visitas a ese lugar.
The late great Saul Goodman playing the timpani. I learned to play timpani from his manual entitled Modern Method For Tympani
I don't care what genre of music you normally listen to. But if you watch and listen to this, and are not moved, then you are not a music lover.
Brilliant
I liked it. :)
HBD Aaron Copeland...
Woooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🖤❤️🖤❤️
very good
Who's playing Eb clarinet? He is marvelous!!
COPLAND MASTERPIECE!
I heard this for the first time last night (Monday March 15th, 2021) on my way home from work on Iowa Public Radio Classical only it was the last bit so I didn’t know what it was until they said what the piece was and who made it. Because before that to me it had the sound of West Side Story combined with Magnificent Seven, and to me what sounded like a little eastern influence.
Me imagino unos mexicanos cabalgando en él espacio 🥰.
who else watched this when they were in Chorus class
He should have heard Danzones in the Salon Mexico...
what is that melody that starts at 4:14? It's so beautiful. Does it come from a Mexican song?
According to this it's El Mosco: www.northbsr.com/PDF/41057383-El-Salon-Mexico-Analysis.pdf
Thanks for that
Gil Evans quotes that melody in Blues For Pablo on Miles Ahead.
Is that Mister Vacciano playing trumpet?
Yes!
Salon Mexico's style remembers me Silvestre Revueltas and others nationalist composers.
xollotl ome Copland actually visited Mexico and met Revueltas early in his career. He was definitely influenced by him.
women waited to technicolor filming...
Who cares?
Anyone know where I can find the music sheet to this for free? please, it would be a big help.
It's still under copyright, so you won't find it online for free. legally. You might still find the score at a large public library. I remember taking scores from the Chicago Public Library back in the 1970s and copying out the trumpet parts to practice. Certainly a music school ought to have it in their library.
For anyone still looking for an answer to this, I know the Library of Congress has some of Copeland's scores digitized and available in their online collections.
Baile mi rey Paco con Merceditas y Guadalupe el cuico.
10:20 Copland is getting it in his conducting pattern lol! Doesn't look great but damn he's having an amazing time.
It's the time signature. When you're at rest and counting. That's literally happening in your brain!! Lol

Some Composers weren't conductors.... And then some like Copland, Britten, and Stravinsky....werent too bad. 😀
Twenty-seven people are never happy with anything.
Copland with his ridiculous time signature...
Since some of you insist on going down this path, why not also mention that there are no men of color in the orchestra---shock! They're all white, middle-aged or beyond---and probably no LGBT's either. Well....on the other hand.... But my point is this: why are so many viewers seemingly OBSESSED with race, gender, orientation, etc?....these were astounding times in American music, and Leonard Bernstein and the NY Phil did more to educate and bring classical music to the country than anyone ever imagined possible.
So why not relax, take it for what it is...and just enjoy it.
Composer, conductor is Gay and well know of his many loves with young musicians eg Bernstein
It's just a culture war. Don't expect common sense. Maybe people will eventually get sick of PC.
And Copland and Barber and Menotti and Cowell and...It's just not a thing though back then it was against the law (Cowell spent time in jail for being gay).
No one even brought it up. Could it be that it's actually reactionaries who depend on manufactured moral outrage and imaginary offenses to maintain the pretence that they're at all relevant in the modern world?
(It's also hilarious, as others have pointed out, that you'd go off on this particular rant under a composition from the famously gay Aaron Copland.)
Long live Communism!
Just interesting to me, nothing more. Anybody else notice that there doesn’t seem to be a single woman in the orchestra? Great performance, though.
I definitely noticed the lack of women. At about 4 minutes in, I began actively looking for them. I didn't find any. As a female brass player myself, I am familiar with lingering sexism (particularly within brass and rhythm sections) but I was very surprised that there wasn't a single woman anywhere. I'm so glad to say that these days I can at least be acknowledged as holding my own, and can wrestle a chair for myself. Some of the men don't like it, but they don't have to!
