Lindsey,
The Copland is a **FABULOUS**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! piece. It is
actually an arrangement of the "Simple Symphony" he wrote. It is a bear
in the counting department, using lots of those 7's and 5's he is
notorious for. It sounds sort-of like "El Salon Mexico" in LSD. There is
a pretty good recording of it with the Boston Symphony Chamber Players. I
strongly recommend that everyone listen to it many times and study the
score very closely. If you actually have to count instead of knowing
everyone's part, you're probably in deep trouble in this piece. Have fun.
