"Fanfare for the Common Man" was certainly Aaron 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.
The Narrative for the Common Man is something the Republicans successfully provide and are generously well compensated for, by a wealthy class of donors who UNDERSTAND clearly and precisely how to keep the COMMON MAN, anything but enlightened. The Republican think tank, those who initiate the innuendo, the interesting twists on facts, the intertwining of what a good religious, American, conservative should be, play some key chords in their Narrative which include discovering an enemy, defining God, Apple Pie and Motherhood, and repeating the message that OTHERS walk among us. The Narrative for the Common Man, is played in a simple melody, almost like a children’s song, where the lyrics are essentially repeated over and over again. The Narrative for the Common Man, has been a staple fo such illuminates as Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Juan Peron, Jim Jones, Jerry Falwell, and now Donald Trump. The Narrative for the Common Man is purposeful method in downgrading the intelligence factor of humans on the board of stupid, riding on the cusp of racist, and liven large in the realm of paranoia, that their chance in life to succeed NEVER depends on their own abilities, but the idea that the OTHER may steal the opportunity of success from them. This Narrative for the Common Man has been a useful tool for the Republican Party stemming back to the days of Segregation, Joseph McCarthy, the Viet Nam War, a Kenyan named Barack Obama, and mot recently Hillary’s emails and Benghazi. The Narrative for the Common is a virus which eats away at the conscience of Liberals, Progressives, and those Americans who seek equality…at the same time the Narrative for the Common Man is a deadly virus multiplying quickly in the souls of those who believe you must pay to pray to God, you must discard all other Amendments to the Constitution except the 2nd, and especially deadly to those who either much around in white robes, swaztika’s, or splattered with the feces of anything of the Confederate States of America.
As usual, like the lemmings they had been during the 2016 election the news media are, the leaders in permitting the Republicans to set the Narrative for the Common Man. it was all about Hillary, even though the only facts were fiction and forwarded by the Republican Spin Machine, then it became what murders of the innocent by the NRA, and the debates as to whether guns kill or just certain people kill, this was followed by permitting all kinds of lies and denials, then redials and new lies to float as if Trump and his ilk never colluded with the Russians…and north media has permitted Trump to decide who is a real Patriot, regarding the Flag and the National Anthem. How can there be a debate when Free Speech is still permitted in this nation, yet, somehow Trump and his crime family of Republicans have done the old smoke and mirrors, took the lead in stating who is a Patriot and who IS NOT, and the media has lavished themselves with meager, meaningless, harangues on a once again non-debatable topic. The Narrative for the Common Man, created once again by the people who have nothing in common with the common man!
