The twentieth-century vogue for atonal music has to some extent obscured the continuing composition of "traditional" symphonies. Some twentieth-century symphonies written in a tonal idiom, more or less in a traditional symphonic mould, and enjoyable to non-expert listeners include:
*[[Charles Ives]], 1913, ''New England Holidays''
*[[Howard Hansen]], 1930, Symphony No. 2 ("Romantic")
*[[Meredith Willson]], 1936, Symphony No. 1, "A Symphony of San Francisco"
*[[Alan Hohvaness]], 1955, Symphony No. 2, "Mysterious Mountain"
*[[Henryk Górecki]], 1976, Symphony No. 3, "A Symphony of Sorrowful Songs"
*[[John Corigliano]], 1990, Symphony No. 1
