USA night (not the first !) :
Aaron Jay Kernis - Musica Celestis
Richard Toensing - Magnificat
Frank Ticheli - Symphony no. 2 (wind band).....incidentally, are those words we are allowed to mention here ?!
Gloria Coates - Cantata da Requiem
John Williams - 5 Sacred Trees Bassoon Concerto
Jeff Manookian - Requiem.
Sorry if that's disloyal to dear old England - just find USA music so much more diverse and approachable; happy to be shouted down....with evidence !
No...I am not going to rise to that challenge ;D My only comment would be that there is an inevitability about American music being more diverse given the much more obvious cross-fertilization of so many different European, non-European and ethnic cultural traditions involved in the US.
