Not only is the location beautiful, the performance is outstanding. I grew up in the late 30s and 40s. When I first heard this on the radio, I didn't understand why the adults around me had wet eyes. After well over 80 years of life, when my own eyes get damp, I understand! This is Aaron Copeland's masterpiece for everyone! ❤🎉

Far and away the best performance I have heard in a very long time. The intonation is A+ and the tempi are just about perfect. They don't come much better than this.

I thought what a beautiful setting for this sublime interpretation of Fanfare for the Common Man.... Then saw that this video was posted in July 2021. I realized that the musicians were most likely social distancing to prevent the spread of covid 19. I was quickly reminded of the millions of people who died of or were left disabled by the disease. This music was written during World War II. I've always thought that it reflects the weariness of the people who were living through the war. Having lived through the pandemic I feel I have a hint of understanding of what the original audience must have felt.

One of the best renditions ever of this wonderful piece

[MyTroubadour]

Excellente interprétation de ce chef d'oeuvre.

Copeland wrote this song in the early yrs of WWII for the common men going off to war. Think what was going through a young soldier’s mind, walking up the gangplank of a ship, going off to harms way, while this is playing in the background.
👍👍💯🇺🇸

Por la memoria todos los que dejaron su vida por La Libertad.

In college, because of illness, I had to play the jhigh horn part on euphonium. Painful as it was, I absolutely loved that performance. Copland is a genius and this makes me miss my youth. 😭
