Copland’s Fanfare for America - Tucson Symphony Orchestra
The 2025–26 Classic Series comes to a stirring finale with music of America. Maestro Gomez’s discovery of music by Robert Mucyznski, the late head of composition at the University of Arizona, continues with his Symphony (1953) receiving its first-ever performance. It is paired with Copland’s vibrant, muscular Symphony No. 3 and Joan Tower’s Sixth Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman.
Copland’s Symphony is firmly rooted in America, with nods to the composer’s Fanfare for the Common Man. The jubilant work, a celebration of the end of World War II, is a true example of The Great American Symphony.
Inspired by Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, Joan Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman is the final in a series of six tributes to adventurous women. This one honors the Cuban-American composer Tania León.
