The Third Symphony of Randall Thompson, the American composer, was completed last year. Thompson, who is now fifty-one, studied with Ernest Bloch and in 1922 won the Rome Prize, enabling him to work at the American Academy in Rome. A few years later, on his return to the U.S.A., he lived for a time in Greenwich Village and wrote songs and incidental music for productions such as the Grand Street Follies. ' A composer's responsibility,' he has declared, ' is to write music that will reach and move the hearts of his listeners in his own day.' Among his works is a one-act opera Solomon and Balkis, based on Kipling's story ' The Butterfly that Stamped,' which was broadcast here few years ago.
