Symphony Nº 2 "World" : for mixed choir and orchestra / Man-Ching Donald Yu

Description:
Symphony No. 2 “World” is composed for mixed choir and orchestra. The texts are selected from two independent poems. The first one is ‘To the Garden the World’ written by Walt Whitman and the second one is ‘God’s World’ written by Edna St.Vincent Millay. I am deeply moved by the two poems for they have a profound and immense emotional impact on my feeling toward the post-modern world.
