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 taxes!’
Listening time c10 minutes (podcast 6′, music 3′)
