His most important works during this period were based on American folk lore including Billy the Kid and Rodeo . Other works during this period were a series of movie scores including Of Mice and Men and The Heiress . In his later years Coplands work reflected the serial techniques of the so-called 12-tone school of Arnold Schoenberg. Notable among these was Connotations commissioned for the opening of Lincoln Center.
After 1970 Copland stopped composing, though he continued to lecture and conduct through the mid-1980s. He died on December 2, 1990 at the Phelps Memorial Hospital in Tarrytown , New York.

艾伦.科普兰美国作曲家、指挥家、钢琴家、演讲家、作家等。1900 年生于布鲁克林。13 岁开始学习钢琴,中学毕业后,随戈德马克学习对位与和声,1921 年在巴黎枫丹白露音乐学校,从布朗热学作曲。1924 年回国,后任教于多所音乐院校。1935~1944年受聘于哈佛大学。
科普兰一生致力于提倡美国音乐,他的讲学、创作活动、社会活动始终以此为宗旨和目的。
他的创作风格的变化实是当时各种音乐流派存在的一种写照,反映了音乐发展的状况。早期作品乐队组曲《剧场音乐》有爵士乐因素,是对民族风格的初试;《钢琴变奏曲》、《短交响曲》即为新古典主义影响的结果;1935 年以后,进入创作旺盛阶段,写下了一系列能被听众广泛接受的民族音乐,如舞剧音乐《小伙子比利》、《牧区竞技》、《阿巴拉契亚之春》、管弦乐曲《墨西哥沙龙》、《林肯肖像》等,奠定了他为美国学派代表人物的地位;晚期创作中还采用了十二音技法。
