Emerson Lake and Palmer – Fanfare for the Common Man
In 1977 Emerson, Lake and Palmer would release their album Works Volume 1. The album was divided into four parts, each recorded on a side of the 4 record set. Each section highlighted a member of the band.
On side 4, the Band’s side, they recorded two tracks. Fanfare for the Common Man, a classical piece written in 1942 by Aaron Copeland was the first track.
Keith Emerson was a admirer of Aaron Copeland, and this wasn’t the first song of his that they recorded. Hoedown was on their 1972 album Trilogy.
Emerson, Lake and Palmer’s arrangement of Fanfare for the Common Man was used as the opening theme song for CBS Sports Spectacular.
