Diamond’s 1937 ballet TOM was written for e.e. cummings’s scenario based on the famous anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin. This Sacred Ground, a setting of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, also relates to America’s still-resonating encounter with the institution of slavery. Symphony No. 8 was dedicated to Diamond’s friend and mentor, Aaron Copland, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTracklist\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Artist details\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDiamond, David\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Suite from the Ballet TOM\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1 Fanfare 01:01\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2 Prelude to Episode I 02:18\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 3 Introduction and Dance of the Benevolent Master \u0026amp; Mistress 02:14\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 4 Eliza's Supplication 00:58\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 5 The Mortgage 01:04\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 6 Dance of the Slavetraders and Human Bloodhounds 01:09\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 7 Dance of Thankfulness for Freedom 03:40\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 8 Dance of New England and New Orleans 02:21\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 9 Entrance of Eva 02:20\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 10 Tom's Dance of Revelation Through the Eternal Word 01:26\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 11 Music Accompanying Eva's Departure and Ascent into Heaven Accompanied by Angels 02:54\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 12 Choral Spiritual - Conclusion 01:46\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e This Sacred Ground\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 13 This Sacred Ground 15:30\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Symphony No. 8\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 14 Moderato - Adagio - Allegro vivo 13:24\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 15 Theme (Adagio), Variations and Double Fugue 16:49\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos American","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48943901769978,"sku":"636943915622","price":8.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/8.559156.jpg?v=1781731059","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/en-de\/products\/diamond-tom-suite-symphony-no-8-this-sacred-ground","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
