Crawford Symphony XIII in G Minor

For Full Orchestra

A symphony representing anger with his happiest finale he ever wrote

Description

Crawford’s Thirteenth Symphony is Crawford's shortest symphony. He wrote that symphony with the same influence he used to write his eighth symphony after taking time to go back to the classical era. This symphony is one of Crawford's ‘angry’ symphonies. He actually came up with this symphony when he went fishing and it had gone wrong. He and his dad were there for more than twelve hours and they caught no fish however others around them including a four year old caught more than five fish. This triggered him into writing his thirteenth symphony.

This symphony has amazing Violin, Bass, Cello, Bass Trombone, Trumpet, Horn, Piccolo, Crash Cymbal, Snare Drum, Timpani, Clarinet, and Bassoon excerpts.

Fun Fact: The Finale was originally going to be a Christmas Original that he was going to make a one-man band performance of.
