New symphonic music is thriving in 2025, and the wellspring of orchestral expression is continuously tapped by today’s leading composers. SYMPHONIC CHRONICLES VOLUME IV introduces listeners to six of these compositional voices, each of whom offer vivid, cinematic music in a spirit of innovation and artistic exploration.

From the steadfast solar beauty evoked in Christopher Jessup’s Svítání and Tom Myron’s Monhegan Sunrise to the serene, pastoral reflections of Idyll for Violin and Orchestra, these works evoke vivid imagery and emotion. Patrick Brill’s Scherzo for Orchestra, Op. 37 offers a study in absolute music, blending historical styles with original themes, while Richard E Brown’s 2 sets of Korean Dances reimagine traditional melodies with orchestral depth, and Peter Dickson Lopez’s Song of Thirteen Moons (Adagio) offers an intimate reflection on family and memory.
