and gives us some excellent choices. Off the top of my head:
* Any work by Grazyna Bacewicz
* Poulenc's Les Animaux modeles and Concert champetre
* Any Piston symphony other than the fourth
* Any orchestral work by Arnold Rosner
* Vaughan Williams's Concerto Grosso, Old King Cole, or Partita for Double
String Orchestra
* Bloch's Symphony in Eb, Violin Concerto, or Concerto symphonique
* Yardumian's Passacaglia, Recitative, and Fugue
* Bartok's Cantata profana
* Bruckner's Helgoland
* Gould's Spirituals for Orchestra
* Honegger's Symphony No. 1
* Stravinsky's Violin Concerto
* Schoenberg's Weihnachtsmusik 1921
* Hindemith's Symphony in Bb
* Debussy's Le Martyre de Saint Sebastien or 3 Villon Ballads
Dream on.
