Description:
Charles Ives's 'Symphony No. 1 in D minor', written between 1898 and 1902, is an example of how Ives synthesized ideas from composers who came before him. Many of his later symphonies relied on Protestant hymns as the main theme. However, this symphony is composed in the late-Romantic European tradition, and is believed to contain many paraphrases from famous European pieces such as Tchaikovsky's 'Pathétique', Schubert's 'Unfinished Symphony' and especially Dvořák's 'New World Symphony'. Dutch arranger Andre Bodin transcribed the beautiful 2nd movement of this 'Symphony No. 1' ('Adagio molto') for Symphonic Band.
