Symphony No. 7

Symphony No. 7 for Wind Ensemble is, as David Maslanka explains, a Symphony of old songs remembered: "I am strongly affected by American folk songs and hymn tunes, and I think of this Symphony as 'old songs remembered'. With one exception all the tunes are original, but they all feel very familiar. The borrowed melody is from the 371 Four-Part Chorales by J.S. Bach. Each song has a bright side and a dark side, a surface and the dream underneath. Each is a signal or call which evokes an inner world of associations."
