* ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' - its theme bears a striking resemblance to a sped-up version of Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" melded with bits the Music/JohnWilliams theme from ''[[Film/{{Superman}} Superman: The Movie]]''. Given that the series was heavily influenced by the Creator/JohnByrne era Superman (Clark is the real person, Superman is his disguise, and Clark sees himself as a perfectly normal person who happens to have extraordinary powers), this probably wasn't unintentional.

Added DiffLines:

*Peter Schikele (a.k.a. Music/PDQBach) wrote an AffectionateParody of Copland's ''Lincoln Portrait'' entitled ''Bach Portrait''; while it's included on a P.D.Q. Bach album (''1712 Overture and Other Musical Assaults''), it's directly presented as Schickele's own composition. Like Copland's work, it is a piece of orchestra music interspersed with quotations from [[Music/JohannSebastianBach its subject's]] surviving writings... except the quotations are from letters in which Bach is complaining that he's not getting paid enough, or that a cask of wine he bought was damaged in shipping, among other completely mundane topics.

Power Walk was renamed to Team Power Walk. Check here


* StandardSnippet: The "Hoedown" from ''Rodeo'' is used a lot in westerns. His "Fanfare for the Common Man" is very popular for scenes of North America, particular panoramas, grand cityscapes, stadia and stadium events...and of course, is the go-to piece for heroes doing a slow-motion PowerWalk.
