In the early 1970s, I found a copy of "Song of Democracy" in the piano bench of our family piano. Although I was not much of a piano player, at the time, I managed to get through it, and the melodies and harmonies left a strong impression on me. I feel fortunate to have experienced more of Howard Hanson's musical influence through my studies with W. Francis McBeth, one of Hanson's students.

VI. Elegy: Thank you, Howard Hanson (1896-1981) (Reflectively)
The composer Howard Hanson, a native of Nebraska and the first Director of the Eastman School of Music, began teaching at age 19 at The College of the Pacific in San Jose, California.
