Background: Chosen in 1988 as Composer of the Year by Musical America and now recognized as one of the finest song composers in America, Ned Rorem has also written a significant body of music for orchestra. Composed in Morocco in 1951, the Second Piano Concerto has a distinctly American character.

In his recent concertos such as the Cello Concerto of 2002, Rorem has abandoned the usual three-movement pattern. The composer has written: 'Although I don't believe that non-vocal music can be proven to 'mean' anything ... it's still fun to give programmatic subtitles to various sections.'
