Background: Here, Credendum appears for the first time ever in stereo in any format. It is one of the loudest pieces of music ever written. The work takes its name from the Latin for 'that which must be believed'. It was commissioned through the US Department of State (the first time a government agency had ever commissioned a piece of music) to honour UNESCO, the United Nations organization in charge of coordinating arts, science and education programs worldwide.

The Concerto for Piano and Orchestra was originally derived from an unperformed concerto fashioned in 1938-39 and was called Concerto for Piano and Small Orchestra. It exists in an altogether other universe from the sweeping concertos of Brahms, Grieg and Tchaikovsky.

William Schuman considered himself first and foremost a symphonist, and his Fourth Symphony dates from his period of greatest industry in that form, during and shortly after World War Two.
