柯普兰是美国现代音乐史上最重要的作曲家。当他开始学音乐时,一般美国作曲家们正紧抓住伟大的德国传统不放。像史特拉汶斯基或荀白克等人的革命性的作品,在大西洋的这边还不为人所知,而美国本身伟大的新派作曲家查理-艾伍士(Charles Ives),也在孤军奋斗的情况下尝试创作。1924年,当柯普兰从巴黎纳迪亚-布兰哲(Nadia Boulanger)的门下学成国后,成为决心从美国经验出发来谱曲的年轻音乐家中,最耀眼的一位。在年轻的时候,柯普兰曾被人称作音乐的激进份子,华特-达姆洛希(Walter Darmrosch)在指挥了他的作品「风琴交响曲」后对观众说:「如果一个年轻人在廿三岁的时候,写出一首像这样的交响曲,在五年之内,他大概就会要准备杀人了。」他的一系列爵士风味的作品,包括「剧场音乐(1925年作)」和「钢琴协奏曲(1926年作)」,也同样备受争议。后来,爵士乐很快便在柯普兰的音乐中消失,但它的节奏性仍占有很重要的地位。 当美国经济大萧条时,柯普兰正步入三十岁,而遭逢到他个人及艺术创作上的危机。虽然他并不是政治人物,但他也像当时的许多艺术家和知识分子一样,投入了左翼行列。由于政治意识以及他相当不稳定的经济情况,使他重新考虑在这样的社会危机中,是否仍要扮演作曲家的角色。「古老的美国歌谣」是柯普兰在50年代时,着手谱作好几个声乐作品的其中一个。当然,其中规模最大的是他的歌剧「温和国度」,原本是受电视台委托写一个短的歌剧,在1954年时由纽约市立歌剧院首度制作。剧作者艾利琼斯笔下的故事,是一个中西部乡下小镇的一个年轻女孩,以及她梦想中农场外的世界。虽然这出影剧的评价很差,柯普兰仍从其中挑出一些组曲,「生活的承诺」是第一幕的终曲。
