Technology--Its Wonders and Its Enhancement of the Most Menial Tasks
I love listening to my iPod Touch with my Bose head set, gratus Daughter, when I have work to do around the house. Yesterday I was doing the usual "dust and vacuum" routine and listening to Yale University's podcast series, Voices of American Music. Today's episode was a recorded compilation of oral interviews with Aaron Copland.
Aaron Copland
How priceless to hear his voice and his talking about working with Martha Graham and his composing the music for her Appalachian Spring ballet. I loved his statement about her, "She is a wonderful gal." And to think I saw her with her dance troupe at West High School auditorium a number of years ago thanks to the Anchorage Concert Association.
Thanks to YouTube here is a performance of Appalachian Spring with the original cast---Martha Graham, Eric Hawkins, and Merce Cunningham.
