About this Item

The recipient of this copy, Phillip Ramey, was a fellow composer and writer who was also one of Copland's closest friends. "Appalachian Spring" was composed from 1943-1944 for a ballet of the same name choreographed by Martha Graham. The original music, with its quintessentially American sound, won Aaron Copland the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1945. Seller Inventory # 15673
