John Corigliano's Symphony No. 1, drawing from a diversity of styles and inspirations from Berlioz, Mahler and Shostakovich to Schoenberg and John Cage, becomes a symbolic form by which ideas are "translated" into music and expressed. In this case, this symphony takes on a requiem-like nature in that it mourns the loss of dear friends to the AIDS epidemic―perhaps one of the most terrifying of 20th century phenomenon―not unlike Penderecki's Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima and Gorecki's Symphony No.3 as some of the most moving creations of our era.
