I have this sense that we all could use a collective reminder that life goes on. This short little number by Aaron Copland should help. Nothing is more of a soothing balm as a Copland harmony. This piece is from his opera, “The Tender Land,” and features the hymn, “Zion’s Walls,” which Copland arranged.
Mmmm. I just love Copland, and this piece was exactly what I needed today. Also, some of those rides in the first video look highly dangerous and/or unstable … and highly entertaining! I would really like to have them reinstated at state fairs and carnivals everywhere.
