Symphony No. 1 (Hovhaness)
The Symphony No. 1, Op. 17, ''Exile'' is the first symphony by the American composer Alan Hovhaness. The piece was composed in 1936 and was premiered by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under conductor Leslie Heward in 1939.〔Grimshaw, p. 624.〕 The work commemorates the genocide of the Armenian people, including Hovhaness's paternal family, during the Ottoman Turkish occupation of World War I.〔 The symphony is dedicated to English writer and philosopher Francis Bacon.
==Reception==
Response to the premiere was positive, with conductor Leslie Heward heralding Hovhaness as a "young genius."〔 However, lasting reception of the work has been mixed. Reviewing a recording of ''Exile'' by Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, ''BBC Music Magazine'' critic Anthony Burton wrote, "Hovhaness’s astonishing productivity is achieved at the cost of self-criticism: the folk-like melodies can all too often seem four-square and predictable, the chromatic decoration banal doodling, the technically proficient fugues simply note-spinning." Burton added, "Not even the skilful and ardent advocacy of the Seattle Symphony, beautifully recorded, can persuade me that there is () much more than the picturesque about the early ''Exile Symphony''."
