Group: Neoclassicism, Copland group Short description: Music on American subjects. Research into and use of folk music (and to a lesser extent of jazz rhythms). Obsessed with the great European pre-classical forms, especially the fugue and passacaglia. Long singing lines and resonant modal harmonies, is ultimately based on his admiration for and development of Renaissance polyphony. Antiphonal effects. Like many American composers of his time, he was deeply impressed by the symphonic achievement of Sibelius. Music grows organically from the opening bars, as if a tiny seed gives birth to an entire tree.
