20 世纪 30 年代，亚伦-科普兰（Aaron Copland）先后尝试过爵士乐和不和谐的抽象作品，他意识到大多数音乐爱好者根本不喜欢当代严肃作曲家创作的音乐。他决定尝试创作朴实无华、内容充实而又令人愉悦的音乐，让他们重新回到音乐厅，并以此为根基，在古老的西部神话中开创了一种独特的露天美国音乐风格。这里是他三部伟大的西部芭蕾舞剧的组曲，之前是 1942 年作为战时爱国乐曲创作的激动人心的《普通人的序曲》"

原文简介:
In the 1930s, having experimented by turns with jazz and dissonant abstract works, Aaron Copland recognised that most music-lovers simply did not like the music being written by contemporary "serious" composers. He decided to try writing "plain" music, substantial yet enjoyable, which would bring them back to the concert-halls, and in so doing single-handedly forged a distinctive "open-air" American style of music rooted in the mythology of the old West. Here are the suites from his three great "Western" ballets, preceded by the stirring Fanfare for the Common Man, written in 1942 as a patriotic wartime piece.
