Copland’s Appalachian Spring

Copland’s Appalachian Spring The ballet, scored (written) for a thirteen-member chamber orchestra, was premiered on Monday, Oct. 30th, 1944. The story is a spring celebration of the American pioneers of the 1800s after building a new Pennsylvania farmhouse. Among the central characters are a newlywed couple, a neighbor, a revivalist preacher and his followers. 8

Copland’s Appalachian Spring The orchestral suite is divided in eight sections The 7th section is calm and flowing. Scenes of daily activity for the Bride and her Farmer husband. There are five variations on a Shaker theme. The theme, sung by a solo clarinet, was taken from a collection of Shaker melodies compiled by Edward D. Andrews, and published under the title "The Gift to Be Simple." The melody most borrowed and used almost literally is called "Simple Gifts." 9
