Read excerpt
The tragedy that unfolded on Sept. 11, 2001 shocked the world; hundreds of ordinary Americans’ lives were taken and their families affected. Copland’s piece was intended to capture the soul of American values. He considered titles such as “Fanfare for the Spirit of Democracy” and “Fanfare for Four Freedoms” (freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from want and fear), before finally settling on “Fanfare for the Common Man.” The phrase “common man” came from a speech by Franklin D.
