Not well
received in its earliest
performances, Mennin's
Fantasia was impressive
enough to engender
fondest hopes for the
young composer's promise
when he would reach his
30s! Its two movements
are somewhat darker than
Mennin's usual tone, but
have held up very well in
the decades since. The
Fantasia can be
especially illuminating
to listeners new to
Mennin's music because it
displays, simply and
clearly, virtually all
the principles upon which
most of his later works
are constructed. (Walter
Simmons, The Music of
William Schuman, Vincent
Persichetti, and Peter
Mennin: Voices of Stone
and Steel).
