Hunting The Muse

Copland and McCarthy

Aaron Copland was called before Congressional Hearings held by McCarthy to explore his connection to communism. I'm sure there are plenty of fascinating testimonies in this collection, but Copland was interesting to me just because he's one of my favorite composers. To find it, load the page and search for "Copland". It shows many of the dirty tricks people use to question people when they are on a witch hunt.
