Of the large ensemble scores: Hovhaness wrote some interesting scores
for brass & percussion - the Requiem & Resurrection (a reconception of
the Vishnu symphony) is perhaps the most striking; although the Star
Dawn & 4th Symphonies run it close.  The latter work appears on an old
Mercury Living Presence CD with the 3rd symphony by Giannini & the
outrageous West Point Symphony of Morton Gould - both of which are show
stoppers - while the November Journeys symphony by George Lloyd is worth
looking at.
