A major part of the orchestral repertoire, this symphony's melodic material was influenced by the music of Native Americans and African-American spirituals he heard during his tenure in North America, while his sense of America's "wide open spaces" after a visit to Iowa's prairies also inspired the feeling of the work. The fourth movement is among the most popular and recognizable single movements from the symphonic repertoire. Instrumentation in set: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(1): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set)."
