In the continuing series of “Surprise Symphonies,” we have marvelous works by 20^th century American composers Ned Rorem and William Schuman – both of which are titled Symphony No. 3. Rorem and Schuman helped to define the American sound in classical music and we’ll hear their genius on full display.
