One of my favorite pieces! Thanks for posting this! Reminds me of Vaughan Williams.

Got acquainted with his music on XM. Truly one of the great American composers. So prolific. By any chance anybody have the "Garden of Adonis" for flute and harp? Lovely work also.

Happy 100th birthday this year, Alan.
