Maestro
Donald Macleod traces Copland’s later years as conductor and chronicler.
Donald Macleod closes Copland’s story with a portrait of his later years – a period of transition from composing to conducting and reflecting on a lifetime in music. As new ideas became harder to come by, Copland embraced the podium, championing his own works and those of his successors. His later career reveals a composer turning outward and a biographer looking inwards, balancing public recognition with a quiet, more contemplative life.
