| Program Notes | Hailstork's Symphony No. 1 was written in 1988 for performance during a summer festival held at Ocean Grove, NJ. The festival organizers specified that the scoring of the work had to be limited to the scale commonly used in Haydn's time; thus, the orchestration calls for woodwinds in pairs, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings. This "classical" symphony is in four movements. The opening Allegro is in sonata-allegro form, and a new theme is introduced in the development section. The second movement, marked Lento ma non troppo, has a Simple A-B-A ternary design. The Scherzo (Allegretto) third movement is a somewhat more complex ternary design that is based on a buzzing theme in the woodwinds and strings. The Finale (Vivace), which begins with the same chords that opened the work, is in rondo form, and themes from each of the first three movements are recalled. |
