5/24/2015

0 Comments

 
As we head into Memorial Day, 2015, we will hear some great masterpieces by great American composers. I love listening to these pieces all year long so here are YouTube links to some of my favorites (yes, I love Copland) that you can save to your playlist. A great way to celebrate and commemorate our armed forces. Please share.

Fanfare for the Common Man, by Aaron Copland, New York Philharmonic.

Lincoln Portrait, by Aaron Copland, Narrator:
Katharine Hepburn.


Hymn to the Fallen by John Williams.

Canticle of Freedom, by Aaron Copland for orchestra and voices.

Eternal Father, Strong to Save; a beautiful arrangement for mixed choir and orchestra.


Taps and America the Beautiful, for organ and trumpet; Timothy Moke Trumpet, Georg Masanz Pipe Organ.

"As a piano teacher myself, I was anxious to find a teacher that would make learning music an enjoyable experience for my children. I am totally and completely happy with my children's lessons with Terry. He is patient and encouraging. He draws from a variety of resources to provide music that teaches, challenges, and is pleasant to play (and listen to). I highly recommend him!"  - Anna H.
"Terry Smith is an excellent piano teacher. He is very knowledgeable in technique and the history of music. He was always on time and ended on time for his next student. He always made lessons enjoyable."
