“Be Glad Then, America” takes its title from William Schuman’s New England Triptych, which used as its point of departure the religious choral writing of William Billings, one of the grandfathers of American music. Two other repertoire pillars fill out the album, Persichetti’s Psalm for Band and Bennett’s Symphonic Songs.
Complementing these classic works are three world première recordings: the exuberant For ‘The President’s Own’ by John Williams, a set of selected Charles Ives songs arranged for the President’s Own, and a transcription of the glorious final movement of Aaron Copland’s Third Symphony, which restores music cut from the Symphony soon after its early orchestral performances.
