Gerard SchwarzAbout
Cast in a traditional design of three movements in a fast-slow-fast pattern, Symphony No.3 is a work of great contrapuntal energy, percussive accents and propulsive rhythms. The composer described the passionate slow movement as “an extended song ... making use of sustained voice-weaving.”
Symphony No.7 develops in a single movement of remarkable contrasts and intensity.
An exception to Mennin’s “pure” compositional approach, the concertato Moby Dick depicts “the emotional impact of the novel as a whole.”
This recording has been acclaimed as “a fine tribute to an inexplicably neglected figure of the century’s American music scene” (Chicago Tribune).
