Harry Somers / Symphony No.1

[@whiteysomers6574]

Thank you for posting this. Harry Somers was my Uncle and the other Harry Somers on your playlist is my Brother. It's great to see this music getting heard.

Good luck to you. If Harry Somers was my uncle I'd be very proud. His music is new to me here in the UK and I've thoroughly enjoyed this excellent symphony. The writing is thoughtful and precise. A superb find.

I mainly know his Suite for harp, but after listening to this, I know he was one of the truly great composers. His music has truth and honesty. A real genius. Much better than his teacher Weinzweig.

Whenever I come across people who challenge the aesthetic power of 12-tone music, I share this piece. This is gorgeous dodecaphony!

Excellent and unexpected. I will be listening to more of Somer's music.

Such a wonderful, taut piece ... Like Canadian William Schuman!

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Much better than Schuman.
