This work was part of a continuing series of commissions from Mennin in cooperation with Edwin Franko Goldman and was first performed by the Goldman band.
Following this work the Symphonic Band will perform one of the most moving works by early American composer, William Billings, an individual now seen as a major figure in American music. “When Jesus Wept” is a round, a portion of his New England Tryptich, originally written by William Schumann for orchestra in 1956 and subsequently transcribed for band. The third and dramatic final movement of this work, “Chester,” will follow and conclude this segment of the concert.

Giannini is considered to be on a par with Hindemith, Persichetti, Gould, and Creston as an influential 20th Century American composer,and this work shows his mastery of expression and musical color, with unparalled musical drama concluding the final movement.
