Did I throw a grenade there or what? Can I say I’m not against sampling, or borrowing, but Copland’s compositions just set my teeth on edge?
While I don’t place Copland up there with Moxie or Raymond Scott, can I just say I’ve always liked hearing his music? (It’s hard for me to separate associating Copland with Martha Graham, for that matter.)
What about in context, with Martha’s dance?

While I appreciate Martha Graham’s contributions to modern dance, don’t I still find Copland intolerable? Don’t his pieces mash classical and American folk music together in a way that somehow lessens both?
Isn’t Copland a Stallone movie?

Isn’t it not the borrowing so much as what gets done with it afterwards? Why does Copland’s work make me want to light things on fire? (Is that an extreme reaction? Aren’t I normally fairly tolerant?)

After reading the GOP debate thread I have to wonder, how many of y’all have head-splitting hangovers from the drinking games you were playing?

can’t one describe Copland as perhaps American Gothic painted by Picasso in his cubist phase? considering that certain musical intervals were never used in succession, perhaps it is his use of modal traveling fourth and fifths that make you grind your teeth?
or perhaps the layering of the same mode but different key at the same time? or the almost comical sharpness of a lot of his melodies/counterpoints entrances and exits?
