Don Gillis: Symphonies 1 2 & 5 1 2

Product Details: Throughout his composing career Don Gillis s avowed goal was to reach the people. And for him the surest way to do that was with melodies that they could sing and tunes that even kids could whistle in Waxahachie or Dubuque. Born in rural Missouri, Gillis hailed from the same heartland as Virgil Thomson and Roy Harris. While still a teenager, he moved with his Depression-wracked family to Texas and it is with that iconic prairie land of cowboys and oilmen that he and his music are most often associated, thanks to works like Portrait of a Frontier Town, The Alamo and the ballet Shindig. A graduate of Texas Christian University and the North Texas State Teachers College, he pursued music with a vengeance, conducting, performing, arranging, instructing and cobbling ensembles together. Although the highlight of his professional career was producer of Arturo Toscanini s NBC broadcasts for ten years, he labored zealously at the great constant of his life, composing, with the three aspects of his personal credo love of country, love of God, love of a good laugh shining through piece after piece in his large output of works. This is especially true of his Symphonies. And it rings out loud and clear in the three comprising this CD Symphonies 1 and 2, never commercially recorded before, and that bubble burst of orchestral mirth, Symphony No. 5 1/2, his best-known composition.
