Event Description 20th century American composer Aaron Copland and 18th century Austrian composer Franz Josef Haydn both revolutionized the music of their time, creating compositional styles that radically changed the course of music. Some of their most beautiful works were initially written in intimate, chamber settings in response to specific situations such as the orchestra pit or the exigencies of war. Whether using unaccompanied voices for “In the Beginning,” or 13 instruments for the original version of “Appalachian Spring,” Copeland melded modern, open harmonic structure with American folksong, evoking the vast American landscape. Haydn’s “Mass in D Minor” was written with spare orchestration necessitated by war, and demonstrates that sometimes less truly is more.
