I wish there were a performance of s song by Carpenter entitled "Sing A Song Of Freedom." I learned it while I was in elementary school over 75 years ago and it instantly became a favorite.
If all you know of John Alden Carpenter's music are Skyscrapers and Adventures in a Perambulator check out his first symphony. I think you're in for a treat.
Thank you for an amazing performance of a serene and remarkable symphony John!
Gorgeous Symphony: love its energy, orchestral color, lyricism, "populism," and optimism! The nature paintings are lovely too.

I grew up in Illinois. His music reflects Illinois. Just a beautiful performance.
Molto bella.
I'm relatively to him
I wish there were a performance of "Sermons in Stones", for it is radically different than this "first" symphony.
Thank you for this upload. Now....about that tune....I assume John Williams gave credit to Carpenter?
i did not recognize any movie. What movie are you guys talking about ? :/
Starting at 15:51 you can hear something of Williams's Star Wars theme. A bar-length melodic similarity, anyway.
Holy COW! It is almost a direct steal. But who would know NOW? And Carpenter repeats the theme!!
@@jg2904 I heard a little quote from Jurassic Park.
