Aaron Copland - Two Threnodies

In Memory of Igor Stravinsky


In memory of Beatrice Cunningham



Eva Álvarez, flute
Iván López, violin
Rubén Menéndez, viola
Javier Albarés, cello


These are two of the last pieces Aaron Copland composed, 1971 an 1973, respectively. Considering the occasion of their composition perhaps All Saint's Day is a good day to post them.

I will admit I'd never heard them before indulging in this series which has been a pure pleasure and it's almost through unless I choose to post all of his works.  I will entertain encouragement to do that.
