		The ‘Dante Symphony’ is based on the poetic masterpiece by Dante Alighieri and has two movements: ‘Inferno’ and ‘Purgatory’, charting the jjourney of the soul toward Paradise, with some of the musical ideas taken directly from Dante’s text.
		All Martinu’s symphonies were written in the USA, where he arrived in 1941 as a fugtive from the Nazis, and their success was immediate as the works were taken up by some of the finest conductors of the time, although they have since been unjustly neglected.

		Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. That Mozart was legendary in the combination of rapidity and perfection in so many of his masterpieces is hardly news, and to remind a reader of the famous fact that all three of his final symphonies were composed in scarcely two months’ time seems a cliché.
		But these last three symphonies seemed to pour out of him inexorably and in a rush of structural perfection and expressive depths; biographical sleuthing has unearthed nothing more than the chance that one or more of Symphonies 39-41 might be performed for profit within six months of their completion.
		Edvard Grieg, in a nearly-forgotten essay commented, "In the G-minor Symphony Mozart shows himself to us in all his grace and sincerity of feeling." And biographer Marcia Davenport puts all three of the symphonies into a larger perspective: "The remarkable feature of his development is not the romantic one…but the plain matter of the instrumentation.

		Simple Symphony is entirely based on material from works that the composer wrote between the ages of nine and twelve.
		The best known of all Britten's orchestral music must be the Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell, more commonly known as The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra,a work that is both a tribute to the great 17th century English composer Henry Purcell and a useful teaching instrument.
		Simple Symphony is a staple in String Orchestral literature.

		What the Simple Symphony offers, is charming thematic material from Britten’s childhood (all the themes were composed between the ages of 9 and 12) developed by the sophisticated composer of 20 years.
		The Simple Symphony is in four movements, each of which has a descriptive and alliterative title.
		He joined the BBC Symphony Orchestra at 21 and became principal trumpet of the London Philharmonic at 24, but he left orchestral playing at 27 to devote himself to composition.

		What Bill alluded to was; internally the Symphony house a kind a micro processor that sends out a pulse of some sort, that treats the AC, thus preventing it from reacting in a chaotic fashion.
		The Symphonies came in a (5.5" by 5" by 1.5") fl encased metal chassis equipped with a detachable 9-volt DC adapter that gave it a rather (cheap) UN-audiophile feel.
		Back to the Symphonies, the unit is designed to be used in parallel with your system allows for a pretty fast and easy hookup.

		But musical precocity was another side of his persona, and by age 14 he had amassed a catalog of 100 opus numbers, mostly songs and solo piano pieces.
		"This 'Simple Symphony' is entirely based on material from works which the composer wrote between the ages of nine and twelve," he noted in the published score.
		In form, the symphony's four movements approximate classical shapes and key relationships, though in miniature - sonata form movements first and last, framing a scherzo and a slow movement.

		Benjamin Britten was the foremost British composer of the 20th century, a creative genius in virtually every musical genre, but especially noted for almost single-handedly reviving opera with his masterpieces, Peter Grimes and Billy Budd.
		Over the next few months, while deciding what directions his career might take, he rummaged through piles of his childhood musical sketches and decided to arrange several of them for string orchestra, an ensemble for which he was to develop an abiding fondness.
		Simple Symphony is a gentle parody of the Baroque suite, a series of dances played out in a variety of textures.

		The horn plays simple phrases while the tenor is given an elegiac melody.
		The Simple Symphony, composed in 1934, utilizes some of Benjamin Britten’s facile but original compositions written before he was thirteen.
		To a certain degree, The Simple Symphony bears a relationship to Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony in that both works adhere to strict Classical form and more simple melodic and tonal structure.

		Unlike the Symphony in C, this work holds together quite well, and is a little masterpiece — not his greatest work, perhaps, but a symphony worth repeated listenings and no small amount of praise.
		But his Third Symphony is the first of his that I truly love, and it is also the first of his that shows his genius for form and orchestration.
		It is a string symphony of a very sombre cast, adding the trumpet only at the end, as the mood lifts from darkness to the light of an affirming chorale (an original melody with Honegger, not a quotation).

	BRITTEN Simple Symphony etc Bedford NAXOS 8.557205 [GPJ]: Classical CD Reviews- Feb 2005 MusicWeb-International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This CD contains music composed over the entire span of Britten’s career, from the early Simple Symphony based on themes written in childhood, to the orchestral version of Lachrymae, a work from 1976, the year of his death.
		As already mentioned, the Simple Symphony is an arrangement and expansion of music written earlier.
		For me, the least impressive performance on this disc is the Simple Symphony, which, though more than adequate, lacks a little panache and conviction.

		Britten's interpretation is much more 'baroque' than the full orchestral sound we are used to; but it is much more convincing, particarly as the theme is by Purcell.
		And the 'Simple Symphony' is as charming as others have noted.
		The Simple Symphony is a fantastic orchestral composition,by the great contemporary composer, Benjamin Britten.

		Steuart Bedford is undoubtedly the leading Britten conductor and this is left in no doubt in this delightful collection of Britten works that span forty years of his composing life, from the 1934 'Simple Symphony' to the gorgeous set of variations for viola and orchestra, 'Lachrymae,' from 1976.
		The 'Simple Symphony' for strings is probably the most familiar piece here.
		It was put together by Britten from pieces he had written in childhood and the movements have witty titles: Boisterous Bourrée, Playful Pizzicato, Sentimental Sarabande, and Frolicsome Finale.

		Always someone played with anotherone,and somebody joined their playing.I thank to this orchestra for giving a lot of memories & charms of String orchestra.
		I learned "Symphony" and modern musics there.Members were 100 more, but they were kind & friendly,I could enjoy with them.Although we usually play Symphonies,the most memorial for me was "Messiah Concert"with glee club & Chorus held every X'mas eve.
		It was comfortable and fun to play here,Here I felt good feeling"Music as amateur",in my opinion,the important for amateur music is "How fun can we play,How much can we feel joy to play together",never feel"Pressure and stress".

		Her collaboration with the orchestra can be viewed in retrospect as a successful artistic enterprise, and this CD bears testimony to their joint achievement.
		The rich string sound of the Simple Symphony suits the music very well.
		This may not be the most searching piece Britten composed, but it has a pleasing immediacy and Glover finds just the right touches of phrasing and tempi.

		Highlights of the Central show included Simple Symphony by Nellie Happee, a beguiling, light, work of great quality to Benjamin Britten's music (more please), Bintley's Scottish Dances (from Flowers in the Forest) which is always playful fun and Sara Matthews' Superstruct.
		A low point however was Ann Jenner's Elements to Bizet's Symphony in C, used with such magnificence by Balanchine.

		Britten: Simple Symphony, Etc / Bedford, Et Al Release Date:
		As any student string player will tell you, Britten's Simple Symphony (originally conceived for school string groups) is not exactly "simple", at least regarding the individual technique required to play it well, not to mention the ensemble precision its four varied movements demands.
		Tempo is key (don't rush!) and dynamic contrast and energy in the bowing also are important components of a successful rendering of this attractive, idiomatic, and cleverly inventive work.
