The new
Masterworks Series by
Carl Fischer Music will
showcase arrangements of
20th Century American
composers. Symphony No. 2
by Howard Hanson is one
of the most popular
American Symphonies ever
written, and is played
regularly by major
symphony orchestras
around the world. It was
originally commissioned
by the Boston Symphony
Orchestra to celebrate
their 50th anniversary
in 1930, where it was
given its first
performance. The work was
most famously used in the
end credits of the movie
Alien in 1979. This
arrangement focuses on
the hauntingly beautiful
second theme of the first
movement. After being
stated in the key of
E-flat Major, it provides
a contrasting section
before returning in the
key of D-flat Major.
Cellos are featured
prominently in tenor
clef, and often cover the
soaring horn solos from
the original. Musicians
will experience true
symphonic beauty in this
exquisite arrangement for
strings and harp.
