[PAR] [TLE] Aaron Copland [SEP] Aaron Copland ( ; November 14, 1900December 2, 1990) was an American composer, composition teacher, writer, and later a conductor of his own and other American music.  Copland was referred to by his peers and critics as "the Dean of American Composers."  The open, slowly changing harmonies in much of his music are typical of what many people consider to be the sound of American music, evoking the vast American landscape and pioneer spirit.  He is best known for the works he wrote in the 1930s and 1940s in a deliberately accessible style often referred to as "populist" and which the composer labeled his "vernacular" style.  Works in this vein include the ballets "Appalachian Spring", "Billy the Kid" and "Rodeo", his "Fanfare for the Common Man" and Third Symphony.  In addition to his ballets and orchestral works, he produced music in many other genres including chamber music, vocal works, opera and film scores. [PAR] [TLE] Spirit of the American Range [SEP] Spirit of the American Range is a classical music album by the Oregon Symphony under the artistic direction of Carlos Kalmar, released by Dutch record label Pentatone on February 10, 2015.

It contains works by three American 20th-century composers: Walter Piston's ballet suite from "The Incredible Flutist", George Antheil's "A Jazz Symphony", and Aaron Copland's Symphony No. 3.  The recording was the third by the orchestra under Kalmar's leadership, following the highly successful "Music for a Time of War" (2011) and "This England" (2012).  "Spirit of the American Range" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Orchestral Performance, and its producer, Blanton Alspaugh, was nominated for Producer of the Year, Classical.
