Casella’s third symphony, Sinfonia per orchestra, was a triumphant success at its world premiere in Chicago under Frederick Stock, as it was in subsequent performances in Rome, Vienna and Dresden. And no wonder; its life-affirming exuberance, its sunny, scarcely clouded character, the brightness of its lovely sonorities when the wind instruments predominate, its buoyant tempi, its wealth of melodies, its formal clarity, not to mention the finer facets of the score, with its rapidly alternating, widely differing sections – the music could not help but cheer and refresh the audiences, weary of the turmoil of war.
