Description: Pierson's Macbeth (1859) is a 21-minute tone poem, much more substantial than his concert overture Romeo and Juliet on Hyperion or Helios. Morgan's 1974 Contrasts is a very interesting two-movement tribute to the late Shostakovich which uses the D-S-C-H theme as well as others in a vividly scored combination symphony/concerto for orchestra. Chagrin, known for his film scores (Chandos did a disc of them), is represented by a piece in the "comedy overture" genre. 1978, 1979 and 1985 LP releases.
