folder 10 [Symphony of Freedom]
N.B. An occasional work arranged by Hanson for performance at the U.S. Second National Conference on UNESCO (Cleveland, Ohio, March 31st/April 2nd, 1949). It was scored for narrator, chorus, and orchestra. In form and content, it constituted a pastiche in nine episodes that were linked together with original music by Hanson. Each of the nine episodes recognized a particular expression of freedom, sourced from documents that included the Magna Carta, the Charter of the United Nations, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution of UNESCO.
The music of the Symphony of Freedom was drawn from such works as Randall Thompson’s Testament of Freedom (for episode V), Aaron Copland’s A Lincoln Portrait (for episode VII), and Hanson’s own Symphony no. 3. By way of conclusion, the hymn “God of our Fathers” in the arrangement by Livingston Gearhart. The Symphony of Freedom was given its premiere performance on April 1st, 1949 by the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, the Orpheus Male Chorus, and narrator Leonard Treash, all conducted by Hanson. The performance was recorded for Voice of America, under the auspices of which it would be broadcast to other countries. A copy of the narration is filed in Series 2, box 21/23.
