Aaron Copland and His World reassesses the legacy of one of America's best-loved composers at a pivotal moment--as his life and work shift from the realm of personal memory to that of history. This collection of seventeen essays by distinguished scholars of American music explores the stages of cultural change on which Copland's long life (1900 to 1990) unfolded: from the modernist experiments of the 1920s, through the progressive populism of the Great Depression and the urgencies of World War II, to postwar political backlash and the rise of serialism in the 1950s and the cultural turbulence of the 1960s. Continually responding to an ever-changing political and cultural panorama, Copland kept a firm focus on both his private muse and the public he served. No self-absorbed recluse, he was very much a public figure who devoted his career to building support systems to help composers function productively in America. This book critiques Copland's work in these shifting contexts. The topics include Copland's role in shaping an American school of modern dance; his relationship with Leonard Bernstein; his homosexuality, especially as influenced by the writings of Andre Gide; and explorations of cultural nationalism. Copland's rich correspondence with the composer and critic Arthur Berger, who helped set the parameters of Copland's reception, is published here in its entirety, edited by Wayne Shirley. The contributors include Emily Abrams, Paul Anderson, Elliott Antokoletz, Leon Botstein, Martin Brody, Elizabeth Crist, Morris Dickstein, Lynn Garafola, Melissa de Graaf, Neil Lerner, Gail Levin, Beth Levy, Vivian Perlis, Howard Pollack, and Larry Starr.

Aaron Burr--Revolutionary War hero, third vice president of the United States and a controversial figure of the early republic--was tried and acquitted of treason charges in 1807, and thereafter departed for self-imposed exile in Europe, his political career in ruins. Adrift in Paris for 15 months, he led a marginal existence on the run from creditors and the courts, getting by on handouts. While other Americans in Paris enjoyed official status that insulated them from life in the capital, Burr dreamed up fruitless schemes and pawned his possessions, yet remained in high spirits, enjoying Parisian theater and cafes. He shopped, flirted, paid for sex and associated with friends old and new while gathering the resolve to return to America. Burr's Paris journal is a rare item, with only 250 unexpurgated copies printed in 1903. In it he relates his fascinating stories and describes Parisian life at the height of Napoleon's power. Drawing on Burr's journal and other sources, this book provides a self-portrait of the down-and-out Founding Father abroad.

Aaron Copland (1900-1990) is generally considered the most popular and well-known composer of American art music, and yet little scholarly attention has been paid to Copland since the 1950s. This volume begins with a portrait of the composer and an evaluation of significant research trends which is intended to fill a void and to suggest directions for further research. The guide also provides a section discussing Copland's interdisciplinary interests, such as ballet and film work, as well as a comprehensive bibliography of writings about Copland and his music.

The world is a melting pot of families of different configurations. One of the most important gifts we can give our children is to help them feel good about the uniqueness of their family and help them learn to accept, respect, and include people whom they may experience as "different". Whether you have a traditional family, single parent family, or many of the other types of families, give your children the love and respect they deserve. Teach them that being "different" is okay
In Aaron's Rod, a satirical, ultra-masculine narrative with unconsciously homosexual undertones by controversial literary legend D.H. Lawrence, protagonist Aaron Sisson has grown tired of his dulling marriage and monotonous daily life working a desk job for a coal mine business in the Midlands of England. He abandons his wife and children to chase dreams of fame and fortune as a professional flutist, and embarks on an impulsive trip to Italy. There, he networks in various inner circles of artists, intellects and socialites, soon meeting the mesmerizing writer Rawdon Lilly, who acts as Aaron's pseudo-spiritual guru in this thrilling new world free of domestic duties, and sparks a "bromance" that just may shift Aaron's impression of himself, life and art forever...With a sharp introduction by David McConnell, author of the forthcoming The Beads (ITNA, 2023) and winner of the 2014 Stonewall Book Award for his non-fiction work American Honor Killings: Desire and Rage Among Men (Akashic, 2013), this new edition of Aaron's Rod, as part of the ITNA ICONS collection, is a fascinating portrayal of a burnt-out working-class man of early twentieth century England, replete with the polarizing, often frankly misogynistic themes that made the book the target of controversy.
This is the story of Aaron and Savanah Monkey who, after the death of their father, are trying to cope with their sadness and why they can't go and see him. Their pursuit to find a way to heaven is tiresome and adds to their mix of emotions. It isn't until they return home that mommy explains that their love for him will always be in their hearts.
