Answer to Question 1

Title - Joan Tower's Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman

Tower conceived the work as a tribute and a response to Copland's fanfare

Both the Copland and Tower works are scored for eleven brass and three percussion

Both fanfares are more than ceremonial flourishes

Both are short, but substantial musical statements

both exemplify a relatively recent trend in musical life which is concert music for large ensembles featuring winds and percussion.

Answer to Question 2

Minimalist composers restored consonant harmony while moving forward

Effect of old and new at the same time

Reconceived the way music presents time

free listeners from marking the passage of time at comfortable intervals

slowly changing harmony, open-ended rhythm, and anonymity of performing resources help project a sense of connection to something beyond the self that is essentially spiritual

connects back to the spiritual impulse that inspired music earlier music.
