Appalachian Spring

Appalachian Spring is a landmark American ballet created by choreographer Martha Graham and composer Aaron Copland, which premiered in 1944 and earned Copland the Pulitzer Prize for Music. Originally scored for a 13-piece chamber orchestra and later arranged into a celebrated orchestral suite, the work captures the American pioneer spirit and famously features variations on the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts.
