@Bones McCoy I have to agree that the 'Fanfare' version you posted was just...Yucky.

The viddy I posted was a virtual Who's Who of top notch Rock N' Roll legends inc;

Keith Emerson ~ Keyboards
Jeff Baxter ~ Guitar
Joe Walsh ~ Guitar
John Entwistle ~ Bass
Simon Phillips ~ Drums

Totally blows away the meandering Orchestral version, IMO.

:cool:

Yes I like the rock version.

But the composer (Copland) was a nasty piece of work. His specialty was "artistic condescension", deliberately blatantly writing far below his ability, you know, for the sake of the limited aptitudes of "the common man". It's all "talk slow, no big words" music. It's all "charitable", and at base none too subtle sneering. "Look! Shiny toy?" like someone playing with a cat.

"In Praise of The Grubby Common People Who Categorically Aren't As Good As Me"
"I Love All You Worthless Idiots"
"Dumb But Happy, You Wonderful Dirty Hicks"
"Nice Shack, You Subhuman Hillbilly"

That's what I hear whenever I hear Copland.

Let's rename the song...In a Weird Al sort of way.
