Night Rivers Symphony No 3 Study Score

With influences of Mahler's construct and Walt Whitman's poems, Night Rivers takes its title from Whitman, and the first seven bars inform much of the following one-movement symphony. The fluid score is one of movement and repose, and impressive enough to have Fanfare's Stephen Ellis submit a "Hall of Fame Review" for only the second time. "I can't be more direct: Night Riversà is stunning - a rare work that achieves a dramatic balance of the cerebral and visceral. ...To my mind, it is one of the supreme American symphonies." - Stephen Ellis, Fanfare
