Michael Torke’s Javelin was commissioned by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for its 50th anniversary and performed at the opening ceremony of the Atlanta Summer Olympics in 1996. Samuel Barber’s lyrical Symphony No. 1 combines the four movements of a classical symphony into a single movement. Margaret Bond’s Montgomery Variations was composed in 1964 and dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr. It portrays the early history of the Civil Rights Movement, in particular the Montgomery Bus Boycott and its aftermath.
