Appalachian Spring

As part of NPR's "Milestones of the Millenium" explore Aaron Copland's "Appalachian Spring" with commentary by Robert Kapilow and John Adams, and interviews with the composer himself.

While exploring the Internet on Appalachian topics I came across the website of Marcia Abonta. Her "Appalachian Seasons Series" looks interesting as does her website in general.

You might enjoy this pairing of "Simple Gifts" from "Appalachian Spring" with the beautiful black and white photography of Ansel Adams.
