Not really a symphony, but a large-scale orchestral suite of Irish folk tunes written for a competition. Some nice moments, but it's basically easy-listening. MM 27-viii-2020
Neat orchestrations of Field piano and chamber pieces, the first of which is very familiar, and of six movements from the Water Music. MM 27-viii-2020
