Pulitzer Prize for Music, 1952.

Upload includes the professional vinyl rip, its cover and booklet, and two analyses:
of the Symphony Concertante and of the score for C-Man (and the comparison
between the two).
The movie C Man has fallen into public domain and can be watched online
at the Internet Archive under https://archive.org/details/C-Man or
on Youtube under https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wYpwK32tJw
Scene from "C Man", with John Carradine and Dean Jagger.
Doing a bit of film music/concert music research here. Of course, it's nothing
compared to the latest crappy Hans Zimmer score , but here goes:
Symphony Concertante is a composition by Gail Kubik (1914�1984) for
trumpet, viola, piano, and orchestra. It was premiered January 7, 1952 by its
commissioner, The Little Orchestra, Thomas Scherman conducting. Kubik was awarded
the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1952 for the piece. The committee wrote:
"The Symphony Concertante is brilliant and exuberant, full of rhythmic vitality,
the orchestration both original and skillful."
This work is based directly on Gail Kubik's polytonal score for C-Man
(Laurel Films Production, 1949), and provides an almost unique
instance of musical adaptation. For a film score to be made into
concert music is not so unusual. Many composers have done
that�Copland's Red Pony, V. Thomson's Plow that Broke the
Plains, etc.�but generally, they have made suites, using almost
unchanged the most suitable sequences from the films� scores.
Kubik's work, however, is entirely different. Instead of having
compiled a series of excerpts from C-Man, he has refashioned the
material into one of the thoroughly abstract forms of concert
music�the symphony�in which the musical necessities and
demands are of an entirely different order. From those of a film score.
A confrontation of the two scores, therefore, is of considerable
interest in revealing the essential differences�particularly those
of a formal nature�between effective film music and successful
concert music. This comparison is of no less interest in revealing
the points at which film- and concert-music requirements and
techniques overlap. For in some instances, Kubik has trans-
planted, with only slight modification, entire sequences from
C-Man into his Symphony Concertante - a procedure which suggests
that certain parallel functions can exist in both the functional- and abstract-music forms.
Also on this album, which was transferred from an RCA Victor Red Seal LP,
you will find two symphonic poems by Paul Creston: Walt Whitman and
the Lydian Ode.
