Description:
Morton Gould (1913-1996), equally comfortable in the worlds of both "serious" and "light" music, presented his symphonettes (an Americanization of the term "sinfonietta," much like kitchenette and dinette) as works of a truly American vernacular, drawing on popular culture as well as classical forms. His American Symphonette No. 2 was the work that first made Gould a name among the American public through radio, with the second movement (Pavanne) a pop orchestra standard to this day. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 4Sax(opt.; AATB; all dCl): 2.3.3.0: Perc(1): Hp(or Pno): Gtr: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set). The original condensed score is included with this set, but the full score has been extracted from the complete work and also included.
