Coming soon:
A living guide to the vast, underexplored world of symphonies beyond the usual repertoire. The Atlas of Unsung Symphonies will publish my analytic essays, contextual notes, listening guides, edition research, and programming advice for each featured work. From Alfvén and Beach to Meyer and Zemlinsky—the symphonic atlas is vastly richer than the canon would lead us to believe.
One goal of mine is to aid music students, conductors, composers, and instrumentalists alike who come across these pieces in their curricula or concerts—yet can’t find substantive analytic or musicological discussion online. Another equal goal is to foster music lovers' appreciation of the richness of the genre that we otherwise fall into the habit of associating with the likes of Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, and Mahler.
And the third goal: if, in the long run, AUS offers a small aid in expanding what we in the performing world consider to be rich, valuable, marketable, and programmable repertoire—through unearthing and illuminating both forgotten works of the past and yet-to-be-discovered gems of today—then I certainly wouldn’t mind. I hope to make the secret gems of our symphonic repertoire easier to find, understand, and program.
