Lincoln and Appalachian Spring

I don't know if anyone's commented on it yet or has recognized it, but take a listen to Appalachian Spring by Copland and see if you recognize the Lincoln theme in it.

Which theme, would be my next question? :)

I think someone pointed out that the People's House theme opening bears some resemblances to a passage from Appalachian Spring and I am inclined to think this as a nice nod and homage from Williams to the grand old man of the American orchestral music. :)

Yeah "The People's House" track's beginning section resembles parts in App Spring's "Moderato" and there are some slight similarities between them that aren't really theme similarities. I thought that was neat though ;)
