Abstract Details

2008, Master of Humanities (MHum), Wright State University, Humanities.
During the 20th century, serious composers in the United States increasingly wrote symphonies, and a few of these composers expanded the form with the use of chorus. Three key examples are Marc Blitzstein’s The Airborne Symphony, Peter Mennin’s Symphony No. 4 (“Cycle”), and Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 3 (“Kaddish”). Although all three are choral symphonies each composer took a much different approach to the form. The paper will focus on analysis of these three symphonies and examination of their place in the history of the American symphony.
