A short podcast about the shortest of pieces, yet Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man still packs a punch and seems to point to big issues.

'No taxation without representation'? Perhaps today's call should be 'No representatives (from the Head of State down) who don't pay their taxes!'

Listening time c10 minutes (podcast 6', music 3')

Listen to the whole piece here, played by the San Francisco Symphony  conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas on Youtube, Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon music 

You can buy the piece as a high-quality download from Presto music.
