Hanson
Howard Hanson (1896-1981) was an American composer, conductor and educator, and one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century American musical life. Born in Nebraska to Swedish immigrant parents, he studied in the United States and later in Rome.
His works include seven symphonies, choral music, concertos, chamber music and opera. The Symphony No. 2, known as the Romantic, remains his best-known score.
