The exceptional artistry of Irving Berlin, Al Jolson, Scott Joplin, James P Johnson, Igor Stravinsky, Maurice Ravel and George Gershwin revolutionized music in the early 20th Century, one of the most exciting and innovative eras in the arts. At the dawning of a new century these musicians paved the way for the Jazz Age, modern classical music, popular and Broadway music for decades to come.

A fun project I did during January 2022 when I had some time to spare because of performance cancellations. This cello ensemble version is arranged by Ka-Wai Yu. It is my favorite movement of the symphony. I hope you all enjoy it.
