Blackwater 53393 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Coffee’s not so great when it’s likely to put you in the hospital. I’m allergic to it! Started when I was about 16.

This isn’t Sousa, nor even a march, but this is my version of blood-moving sunrise music... One of a few pieces of music that will give me chills. The history behind it is interesting to me as well: Quote "Fanfare for the Common Man" was certainly Copland's best known concert opener. He wrote it in response to a solicitation from Eugene Goosens for a musical tribute honoring those engaged in World War II. Goosens, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, originally had in mind a fanfare "... for Soldiers, or for Airmen or Sailors" and planned to open his 1942 concert season with it. Aaron Copland later wrote, "The challenge was to compose a traditional fanfare, direct and powerful, yet with a contemporary sound." To the ultimate delight of audiences Copland managed to weave musical complexity with popular style. He worked slowly and deliberately, however, and the piece was not ready until a full month after the proposed premier. To Goosens' surprise Copland titled the piece "Fanfare for the Common Man" (although his sketches show he also experimented with other titles such as "Fanfare for a Solemn Ceremony" and "Fanfare for Four Freedoms"). Fortunately Goosens loved the work, despite his puzzlement over the title, and decided with Copland to preview it on March 12, 1943. As income taxes were to be paid on March 15 that year, they both felt it was an opportune moment to honor the common man. Copland later wrote, "Since that occasion, 'Fanfare' has been played by many and varied ensembles, ranging from the U.S. Air Force Band to the popular Emerson, Lake, and Palmer group ... I confess that I prefer 'Fanfare' in the original version, and I later used it in the final movement of my Third Symphony." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Back in the day we would heat up some Dr. Pepper in a sauce pan, until it steamed, and put it in a cup with a slice of lemon. It was different, for sure...an acquired taste...if you could stick with it long enough to acquire a taste for it. It did not seem as bitter as coffee. In fact, at some point, in the distant past, they even had a commercial on, down here, for: "Dr. Pepper served hot". Of course, I am of the "Captain Kangaroo" generation, and I remember the name of Sky King's airplane...if that tells you anything. "That's the way it is, Monday, June the ___ 1962.
