In addition to his ballets and orchestral works, Copland produced music in many other genres including chamber music, vocal works, opera and film scores. Brass and percussion instruments have been featured in much of Aaron Copland’s music to create a mood of importance and power. His composition called Fanfare for the Common Man has become a standard in American patriotic music and features these families of the orchestra.
