James Kearney asks: >Can you please suggest other works (tone poems, symphonic movements) by >any composer with an atmosphere as potent, as spinetingling, as *epic* >as the "Swan"? Not as brooding or melancholy, but I could suggest Bax's "Tintagel" and "November Woods", Alfven's "Legend of the Skerries", Stenhammar's "Midvinter", and Rautavaara's "Cantus Arcticus", among others. Of course, there is also Sibelius's Symphony #4, "Tapiola", "Kullervo", and the rest of the "Four Legends". Mark [log in to unmask]
