The feature composition is Fanfare for the Common Man.
A fanfare is a special kind of composition, usually written to announce something, or someone, very important. Kings and Queens use fanfares.

He called his composition Fanfare for the Common Man.

Copland wanted his fanfare to sound special and important. He decided to use brass instruments and percussion for his composition. Copland began his fanfare with a strong statement from the bass drum and gong. Then he composed a powerful, robust theme for the trumpets to play. Copland wanted everyone to know right from the beginning that this composition was written to announce the importance of all the people in the world.

The feature composition is Fanfare for the Common Man.
Copland wrote his fanfare for brass and percussion because he wanted it to sound special and important. After the opening statement from the bass drum and gong, Copland composed a powerful, robust theme for the trumpets. This theme is repeated with the horns which makes it sound regal. The third time we hear the theme, Copland adds the trombones and tympani which give the fanfare more strength. He includes the tubas on the fourth repetition. Copland wanted his fanfare to grow and grow. It is almost as if he is trying to get the whole world to listen to his music.

This week's feature composer is Antonio Vivaldi.
The feature compositions are the second and third movements from Oboe Concerto in D Minor.  Vivaldi liked the sound of the oboe. He knew it could sound thoughtful or active, flowing or bouncy. In this concerto, Vivaldi used two oboes as the featured instruments. He composed the second movement for the thoughtful, flowing voice of the oboe. For the third movement, Vivaldi wrote music to show the oboe's other personality. It is fast and bouncy.

 This week's feature composer is Antonio Vivaldi.
The feature compositions are the second and third movements from Oboe Concerto in D Minor. Vivaldi knew how to use the sound of the oboe to create contrasting musical ideas. For the second movement, Vivaldi composed melodies for the two oboes that are flowing, thoughtful, may be even a little sad. He created this effect by making the melody for one of the oboes very close to the other. It's almost as if they are rubbing together.

 This week's feature composer is Antonio Vivaldi.
The feature compositions are the second and third movements from Oboe Concerto in D Minor.  Vivaldi used the flowing sound of the oboe in the second movement. For the third movement, he decided it was time for a contrast. Vivaldi composed fast, bouncy melodies for the two featured oboes. He made the melodies similar, but instead of rubbing against each other, they run along side-by-side.
