Fantasia for String Orchestra was premiered in January of 1948, with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Walter Hendl. The work is divided in two short movements. Both are built around two motives that are brought together. Shifts in instrumental register and textural thickness help to maintain an engaging tension throughout. The work is especially illuminating to listeners new to Mennin's music because it is built upon principles that define his later works.
