  • JOHN POZDRO Third Symphony Oklahoma City Symphony Orchestra Guy Fraser Harrison, Conductor
    JOHN POZDRO Third Symphony Oklahoma City Symphony Orchestra Guy Fraser Harrison, conductor WHAT IS INDIGENOUS to American music — a much debated issue—will be solved when its fabric is completely unraveled. From all the strands that have been combined with European harmonic tradition will come the definition of America’s contribution to the international development of music. Our regional contributions will also emerge with greater clarity. This recording, a product of the Midwestern United States, will be a part of such an examination. Musical activity in America rapidly reaches toward maturity. Of the new foci of cultural advancement outside metropolitan areas, Oklahoma City itself has taken a notable place. Two well- known examples, if recalled, suffice to show the achievement of this locale: the city’s symphony orchestra, which in recent years has been heard on national broadcasts; and the University of Oklahoma Press, whose sphere of influence has spread to many lands. Nor is it insignificant that the second oldest orchestra in the United States is in neighboring St. Louis. The music on this recording was commissioned and first performed by the Oklahoma City Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by its Music Director, Guy Fraser Harrison. Faith in the musical maturity of the Midwest could scarcely be better exemplified than in the commissioning of these composers, both of whom were born, educated for the most part, and have been professionally active in this area. JOHN POZDRO was born in 1923 in Chicago, and there received his early musical training. Service in the Military Intelligence Division during World War II postponed his formal education for a while, but it was later resumed at Northwestern University, with the late Robert Mills Delaney.
