"Appalachian Spring" is one of Aaron Copland's most popular compositions. Originally written for a ballet, "Appalachian Spring" was later adapted as a suite for chamber orchestra. One section of the piece contains variations on a Shaker theme, and this section became so popular that Copland wrote a version for wind ensemble and titled it "Variations On A Shaker Melody."

Performed live by the Dallas Wind Symphony.

Jerry Junkin, Conductor
