I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Holmboe's Sinfonia Disintegrazzione, his response to the Nazi invasion of Denmark. Sadly, the only recording of the work is a complete mess, to the extent that in the scherzo the percussion section play a complete bar later than the rest of the orchestra.

What?! I've never heard of that work! Could you please point me to the recording of it?

Seconded. Please tell us more about it?

… music is not only an `entertainment’, nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.  RVW, 1948
