 Henry A. Wallace whose speech proclaiming the arrival of "the century of the Common Man" inspired Copland to write the fanfare. |
Fanfare for the Common Man is a 20th-century American classical music work by American composer Aaron Copland. The piece was written in 1942 for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra under conductor Eugene Goossens. It was inspired in part by a famous speech made earlier in the same year where vice president Henry A. Wallace proclaimed the dawning of the "Century of the Common Man". Several cover versions have been made and fragments of work have appeared in many subsequent US and British cultural productions, such as in the musical scores of movies.
