Aaron Copland: Noted Giant Among
Composers; His Jewish Background

Aaron Copland is, indeed, a
giant among composers. Julia
Smith's "Aaron Copland: His
Work and Contribution to
American Music," published by
E. P. Dutton & Co. (340 4th, NY
10) provides indisputable proof
of the greatness of the man
whose works are so numerous,
whose compositions so impor-
tant, that a large sized volume
is needed to enumerate them
all.
This 336-page biography and
critical evaluation of Copland's
creations accounts for the man's
accomplishments. It lists his
musical works, published and
unpublished. It illustrates his
creative efforts with musical
scores. It describes "the ad-
venturousness" of his progress.
His biographer refers to his
Jewish background, to the
synagogue he attended (Beth
Israel Anshei Emes, on Har-
rison street, the first syna-
gogue to be established in
Brooklyn) and tells of the
cantor's music he had heard.
Miss Smith states about Cop-
land's interest in synagogue
music:
"These ancient melodies,
now garbed in harmonic set-
tings of the style of Mendels-
sohn and other early 19th
century composers, had lost
their characteristics. Actual-
ly, except for his trio, 'Vit-
ebsk' (a study . on a Jewish
melody), and a setting of the
Jewish folksong 'Dance-Hora,'
Copland has not turned to
Jewish sources for music ma-
terial."
Was Copland influenced by
his Jewish background? The
biographer does not concern
herself with this question, but
we do read: "As a child, Aaron
heard much music at Jewish
weddings, which the entire
family frequently attended to-
gether. At these functions,
though assemblies usually
played American dance music

Mrs. Philip P. Fealk, a vice-
president of the Greater Detroit
Bnai Brith Women's Council,
was one of a number of na-
tional Bnai Brith leaders to at-
tend the organization's first
Leadership Training Institute.
The session, held in addition
to the annual summer Institutes
of Judaism, took place at Camp
Bnai Brith, in the Pocono Moun-
tains at Starlight, Pa.
Leading the one-week sessions
were Drs. Harry Orlinsky, Lou

such as ragtime, waltzes, and
schottishes, yet an occasional
Jewish dance was thrown in
for local color."
The Copland biography is re-
plete with many personal ac-
counts, with stories about the
composer and his friends, about
many of the great musicians of
our time.
It is a splendid biography, of
interest not only to musicians
but to lay people as well.
