Robert Ward: Symphony No. 4; Concerto for Saxophone & Orchestra, etc.
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Ward (b. 1917) writes the kind of American Romanticism that puts him in line behind Roy Harris and Howard Hanson. Not a bad line to be in. Ward's music is tonal and, in places, exuberant (as in Jubilation Overture from 1945). His Symphony 4 (1958), the major work here, is part of that same Midwestern legacy. The Concerto for Saxophone and Orchestra (1983) comes from the composer's interest in jazz and swing from his World War II years playing in the 7th Infantry Division's own swing band. The music is not dated, though. Sonic Structure (1980) is more abstract, but still tonal and lucid in its details. --Paul Cook
