Score-Morton Gould's Minute Plus Waltz Rag for Orchestra.In honour of their 75th anniversary the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra commissioned a number of composers who had written major works for themin the past to write short musical 'postcards'.'My postcard is called Minute Plus Waltz Rag; it's a slight take-off on The Minute Waltz but with the 'plus' that it's longer than a minute and combines awaltz with a rag pattern in 5/8 time. I wasn't conciously thinking of 1916 when I wrote it but it does actually reflect a flavour of the music of that period' - Morton GouldThe first performance ofthis work took place on October 25 1990 by The Baltimore Symphony with David Zinman as Conductor.
