	Unsung Songs
		When Persichetti composed his Opus 77, in 1958, he created four superb musical settings of the quintessential American poet, and it is impossible to imagine a more approachable and useful set of teaching songs for undergraduate students.
		Persichetti's response was equally masterful in its concision and simplicity: The entire piano accompaniment is constructed with one elementary device--slowly arpeggiated chords, sustained by continuous pedaling.
		Persichetti's occasional willingness to repeat a poetic line to serve his musical needs is one of the few faults with which he can be charged (he does it again in The Grass).

		Vincent Persichetti’s Symphony for Band was commissioned and premiered by the Washington University Band at the MENC: National Association for Music Education Convention in St. Louis on April 16, 1956.
		Persichetti used the word "band" because he felt that it no longer had the connotation of a poor quality of music.
		He is quoted as saying, "Band music is virtually the only kind of music in America today (outside the ‘pop’ field) which can be introduced, accepted, put into immediate and wide use, and become a staple of the literature in a short time." The four movements of this symphony have forms with traditional implications.

		Chances are, a long time ago, the first American composer you encountered outside the mainstream (i.e., Copland, Harris) was Vincent Persichetti, and you might still own that old Columbia LP of his Symphony No. 4 with Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra.
		Interestingly, Persichetti is in the august company of Peter Mennin and William Schuman in withdrawing his first two symphonies; much of the 3rd makes a grand statement, and careful listeners might actually find similarities between the final moments of both the Persichetti and Schuman’s own Symphony No. 3.
		This will prove a great discovery for people new to Persichetti’s music, and this will be a must for those veteran fans waiting a long time to hear more of his music.

		Persichetti’s style of orchestral writing reflected his considerable talent and experience as a conductor.
		"Persichetti enjoys the almost unique distinction of never having belonged to the Right, or Left, or for that matter, the Middle of the Road, and as a consequence, the extremes which one finds in his writing cannot be charged up as victories for any extant musical camp.
		Persichettiâs knowledge, his ability to analyze and evaluate factors in musical style, and to illustrate them with clarity to an audience sprinkled with non-composers amount to virtuosity."

		Most exciting for fans of the duo piano medium will be the two pieces by Vincent Persichetti, a master keyboard composer if ever there were one.
		His brief and charming Sonata for Two Pianos opens the program, but the main work on the disc is his Concerto for Piano Four-Hands, an epic piece constructed somewhat along the lines of the Liszt Sonata.
		Persichetti recorded the work himself (with his wife, for whom he wrote it), and that performance, never available on CD, bespeaks an obvious authority--but sonically there's no comparison to this newcomer, and technically speaking, the Mangos sisters play every bit as well.

		89 by Vincent Persichetti exemplifies the analytical difficulty scholars have found with Persichetti’s music.
		While the piece seems aurally unified in a serial or freely-atonal style, Persichetti freely pushes the boundaries of atonality.
		A generalized analytical methodology is necessary to cope with Persichetti’s deviations from convention.
