William Schuman (1910 - 1992)

In Praise of Shahn ()

Canticle for Orchestra

Besetzung: Volles Orchester

Verlag: Theodore Presser Company

Bemerkung: "In the spring of 1969, shortly after the death of Ben Shahn, I received a call from Lawrence A. Fleischman of the Kennedy Galleries in New York on behalf of a group of the late artist's friends. Would I accept a commission to compose a work in Shahn's memory? Because of my admiration for the astonishing achievements of this artist, my response was immediate and affirmative. I began at once to consider what relationship, if any, the music could have to Shahn. My thoughts led me to reject any attempt to portray his works in a specific programmatic manner."
