Quiet City

I absolutely love this version of Quiet City. The original incidental music from the Irwin Shaw play recreated by saxophonist Cristopher Brellochs.

Hello I'm Kevin Lindegaard and I'm a huge fan of the music of Aaron Copland. I hope my blog will help spread the legacy of this colossus of 20th Century Music. I'm no musician myself but I have ears and I will try to communicate what moves me about Copland's music.

I was well aware that I had become typecast as a purveyor of Americana in music. I knew this was not the whole story, or even the best of the story."

Favourite Quote

Most people use music as a couch; they want to be pillowed on it, relaxed and consoled for the stress of daily living. But serious music was never meant to be soporific.
