Symphony No. 2 by Howard Hanson is one of the most popular American symphonies ever written, most famously used in the end credits of the movie "Alien" in 1979. This arrangement focuses on the hauntingly beautiful second theme of the first movement. Cellos are featured prominently in tenor clef and often cover the soaring horn solos from the original. Musicians will experience true symphonic beauty in this exquisite arrangement for strings and harp.
