Martha Graham and ensemble in Appalachian Spring | photo: Library of Congress, Music Division
Aaron Copland's 1944 ballet "Appalachian Spring" was co-commissioned by choreographer and dancer Martha Graham. The original music called for only 13 instruments (as the performing space for the premiere was limited). The music won Copland the Pulitzer Prize in 1945. That same year, Copland condensed the music content into a suite for full orchestra. And that Suite, conducted by Leonard Bernstein, is today's Midday Masterpiece at 2:00 pm.
