Don't get me wrong, I like Hovhaness, but I think the guy had the idea for a really cool symphony. He turned it into 60 symphonies.Kind of like what Stravinski said when someone commented that Vivaldi had written over 500 concerti..."Vivaldi wrote only one concerto, but he did it 500 times" (or words to that effect.)
