Best Answer

Aaron Copland wrote many art songs and operatic music. The closest he came to writing a popular song was his arrangement of some old American Songs such as "By the River", "The Gift to be Simple," "I Bought Me a Cat" and others. He also used old western melodies in his ballets "Billy the Kid", "Appalachian Spring" and "Rodeo."
