| Description: Symphony No. 2 by Howard Hanson is one of the most popular American symphonies ever written, and is played regularly by major symphony orchestras around the world. This arrangement for strings and harp focuses on the hauntingly beautiful second theme of the first movement. After being stated in the key of E-flat Major, it provides a contrasting section before returning in the key of D-flat Major. Cellos are featured prominently in tenor clef, and often cover the soaring horn solos from the original. |
