Composed by GORDON DALE 1935 - 2001. 20th Century,Concert,World. Score and parts. 4 pages. Piper Publications #3436777. Published by Piper Publications (A0.811669).Gordon wrote the Hymn Symphony for the Hereford String Orchestra in 1977. They gave the first performance in Hereford and also performed it at Gordon’s memorial service in 2001.
The symphony is composed in the Classical style, the themes being mostly well-known hymn tunes. The rest are Dale originals which just sound as if they should be hymn tunes. (People have made thorough searches without success.) There are four movements and the piece lasts about twenty minutes. THE SCORE AND INSTRUMENTAL PARTS ARE ALL AVAILABLE SEPARATELY.
Gordon was a good violinist. He played in the CBSO where he also doubled as their solo alto saxophone player when required. He was a very popular violin teacher. He wrote pieces for his pupils from beginners to advanced much of which can be found on the Piper Publications web site.
