Dmitri Shostakovich Symphony No.  5
Anthony Iannaccone Divertimento for Orchestra
 
It has been said that, in the monumental Fifth Symphony, the best qualities of Shostakovich's music, such as meditation, humor and grandeur, blend in perfect balance and self-fulfillment. Written at the height of Stalin’s purges, and designed to appear to appease the Russian authorities, it nonetheless was a huge success at its first performance and continues to this day to be Shostakovich’s most popular symphony. Similarly, American composer (and former WMPA Composition Competition winner) Iannacone’s Divertimento is his most popular work. Based on a tune in Boccherini’s Menuet, it is a charming essay in free variation and thematic metamorphosis, combining a lullaby, a dance and the Menuet tune.
