Abstract
Aaron Copland was intrigued by Emily Dickinson’s poetry and carefully chose twelve of her poems to set to music. Copland wrote piano parts that would paint the picture of the character, the action, and objects in the poem. These four excerpts each explore different ideas of death and the afterlife.
