We owe a lot to Gerald Schwarz for championing the works of this wonderful composer.

New visual form explored in your triptych, but single image. AabB. With Syms 1-48 all commissioned, this was Hovhaness's "Domestic Symphony" written for Yuletide at home.... It is wonderfully warm & cosy. Is it safe to assume that Syms 50-67 were all commissioned ?
