One work with this name was commissioned by the National Music Camp in 1974, and the second of its three movements is an Adagio subtitled "The Untold Want."
One work with this name was commissioned by the National Music Camp in 1974, and the second of its three movements is an Adagio subtitled "The Untold Want." The composer of that work discussed composing it at age 80 in the same interview with David Williams in which he noted that it was Sibelius rather than Nielsen that had influenced his Nordic Symphony. Another work by this title is a setting of the same text as the first movement of Roy Harris's Symphony for Voices. Both its baritone and soprano soloists are featured in its fourth and final movement, a setting of the poem "Passage to India" known as "The Explorers," which is preceded by "Scherzo: The Waves." For 10 points, identify this title shared by Howard Hanson's seventh and Ralph Vaughan Williams' first symphonies, settings of such poems from Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass as "Joy, Shipmate, Joy!" and "On the Beach at Night Alone."
