Symphony No. 2 (Lilburn)
The Symphony No. 2 of Douglas Lilburn was completed in 1951, and received its premiere in 1959. It appears to have been revised in 1974.[1] The work is divided into four movements:
- Prelude: Moderato (half note=betw. 52-56 (tempo in beats per minute))
- Scherzo: Allegro vivace (quarter note=approx. 152)
- Introduction: Poco lento (quarter note=approx. 69) - without pause -
- Finale: Allegro (half note=betw. 116-120)[2]
A typical performance of the piece lasts around 30 minutes, and several recordings exist. The work was published in 1979 by Price Milburn of Wellington[3] though it seems to have circulated in manuscript copies earlier.[4]
