The Symphonies

Harris composed at least 18 symphonies, though not all of them are numbered and not all are for orchestra. A full list is as follows:

Symphony - Our Heritage (1925 rev. 1926, abandoned), sometimes referred to as Symphony No. 1 [for orchestra] - only an Andante survives
Symphony - American Portrait (1928-1929) [for orchestra]
Symphony 1933 (1933), sometimes referred to as Symphony No. 1 [for orchestra]
Symphony No. 2 (1934) [for orchestra]
Symphony for Voices (1935) after Walt Whitman [for unaccompanied SATB chorus]
Symphony No. 3 (1937-1938, rev. 1939) [for orchestra]
Folksong Symphony (Symphony No. 4) (1939 rev. 1942) [for chorus and orchestra]
Symphony No. 5 (1940–42 rev. 1945) [for orchestra]
Symphony No. 6 'Gettysburg Address' after Lincoln (1943-1944) [for orchestra]
Symphony for Band 'West Point'(1952) [for US military band]

Symphony No. 9 (1962) for Philadelphia [for orchestra]
Symphony No. 10 'Abraham Lincoln' (1965) [for speaker, chorus, brass, 2 pianos and percussion]; revised version for speaker, chorus, piano and orchestra (1967; missing)
Symphony No. 11 (1967) for New York PO 125th [for orchestra]
Symphony No. 12 'Père Marquette' (1967-1969) [for tenor solo, speaker and orchestra]
Bicentennial Symphony 1776 (1969-1974), numbered by Harris as Symphony No. 14 out of superstition over the number 13 but posthumously re-numbered as No. 13 by Dan Stehman with the permission of the composer's widow [for six-part chorus and orchestra with solo voices and speakers]

In addition there is a missing (and perhaps not completed) Symphony for High School Orchestra (1937) and the following unfinished or fragmentary works:

American Symphony (1938) [for jazz band]
Choral Symphony (1936) [for chorus and orchestra]
Walt Whitman Symphony (1955–58) [baritone solo, chorus and orchestra]

Naxos Records is in the process of recording the 13 numbered symphonies with conductor Marin Alsop.^{[بحاجة لمصدر]}
