George Antheil: Over the Plains
Daniel Bjarnason: Violin Concerto
By the way, you should really read George Antheil’s bio. It’s rare to find a composer who developed a radio guidance system for torpedoes (with actress Hedy Lamarr, no less; I am not making this up), and who was a friend of the poet Ezra Pound.
