	WILLIAM SCHUMAN
		William Schuman belongs to the second generation (Thomson, Copland, Sessions, and Harris partly comprise the first) of American Moderns, having studied with Roy Harris among others.
		This may be due partly to Schuman's submission of the score to Copland for constructive criticism.
		This is the most identifiably Schuman music in the symphony, but it's hardly run-of-the-mill—basically, two fugues, the first mainly for winds and brass, the second mainly for strings.

	Welcome to Presser Online
		William Howard Schuman was born in New York City on August 4, 1910, the second child of Samuel and Rachel Schuman.
		Schuman is a rarity among composers in that he was always able to balance his creative endeavors with administrative duties, classroom teaching, writing, public service, consultancy work, and public speaking.
		Schuman has composed a chamber opera that celebrates the triumph of youth, passion and idealism over the schemings of age, greed and money." Other late works also prove that Schumanâs outlook remained young and his creative energies retained their usual vitality.
