Symphony No. 5 (Arnold)

The Symphony No. 5, Op. 74 by Malcolm Arnold was finished in 1961. It is in four movements:

I. Tempestuoso
II. Andante con moto – Adagio
III. Con fuoco
IV. Risoluto – Lento

The work was commissioned by the Cheltenham Festival Society. The composer conducted the first performance with the Hallé Orchestra on 3 July 1961 at the Cheltenham Music Festival in Cheltenham Town Hall.

The Symphony is a remembrance of four of Arnold's friends who died too young:

gollark: Anyway, there are annoying theorems restricting the ability of *any* voting system to satisfy a bunch of important goals: not encouraging tactical voting, not having one person with extra power, having more than two options, sort of thing.
gollark: I doubt many people actually think they *don't*.
