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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Symphony No 3 - Seattle Symphony Orchestra \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Symphony No 7, Variation-Symphony - Seattle Symphony Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gerard Schwarz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40556874694727,"sku":"17018210","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2017564.jpg?v=1747363158","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/mennin-seattle-sym-schwarz-moby-dick-symphonies-nos-3-7","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
