Aaron Copland Quotes

Don't ever let him near a microphone.
Aaron Copland

Inspiration may be a form of super-consciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness I wouldn't know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self-consciousness.
Aaron Copland

So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning.
Aaron Copland

Aaron Copland

Aaron Copland

To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.
Aaron Copland

When I speak of the gifted listener, I am thinking of the nonmusician primarily, of the listener who intends to retain his amateur status. It is the thought of just such a listener that excites the composer in me.
