Copland's rich correspondence with the composer and critic Arthur Berger, who helped set the parameters of Copland's reception, is published here in its entirety, edited by Wayne Shirley. The topics include Copland's role in shaping an American school of modern dance his relationship with Leonard Bernstein his homosexuality, especially as influenced by the writings of Andr Gide and explorations of cultural nationalism. This book critiques Copland's work in these shifting contexts. No self-absorbed recluse, he was very much a public figure who devoted his career to building support systems to help composers function productively in America. Continually responding to an ever-changing political and cultural panorama, Copland kept a firm focus on both his private muse and the public he served. This collection of seventeen essays by distinguished scholars of American music explores the stages of cultural change on which Copland's long life (1900 to 1990) unfolded: from the modernist experiments of the 1920s, through the progressive populism of the Great Depression and the urgencies of World War II, to postwar political backlash and the rise of serialism in the 1950s and the cultural turbulence of the 1960s.
