The thirdmovement of his seventh symphony is preceded by a quotation from Coleridge's "Hymn BeforeSunrise" and is titled "Landscape: Lento". In one of his symphonies, the chorus exclaims "Behold"after an opening brass fanfare. He adapted one of Lorenzo's soliloquies from The Merchant of Veniceinto his (*) Serenade to Music. His first symphony sets the poetry of Walt Whitman and closes with amovement called "The Explorers". Another of his works is an adaptation for string ensemble of a tune bythe composer of "Spem in Alium".
