the last one i presume is John Alden Carpenter

on 4 July i also had two early 1940's works:

Jerome Moross - Symphony No. 1 (1942)
Jerome Moross, pianist, in the 2nd movement
no orchestra nor conductor given / it was a recorded radio broadcast
of the premiere of the symphony, November 19, 1944
it is a light hearted work - Moross said he wanted to get people's
minds off the (then recent) Pearl Harbor attack
one guess is it may have been the CBS Symphony Orchestra,
which was in the next work:

Bernard Herrmann - Film suite "Welles Raises Kane" (1943)
Bernard Herrmann conducted the CBS Symphony Orchestra in a
premiere broadcast in July 3, 1949
Herrmann had worked with actor/director Orson Welles
on film music.
the suite is from these two films:
Citizen Kane (1941)
The Magnificent Ambersons (1942)

It was John Alden Carpenter, Mambo.
A nice unconventional symphony, through composed, more a pastoral symphonic poem than an abstract symphonic work. Enjoyable.
Don't know this Moross symphony I'm afraid.
