Nathan Van Cleave, Cedar Rapids native turned New York arranger, gained notice when Paul Whiteman used his original piece in Carnegie Hall during a May show. He recalls a tight deadline and nervy rehearsal, and notes his rise from five dollar scores to about fifteen thousand a year. Van Cleave’s career includes work for Kostelanetz and Iturbi, with an eye on Fritz Reiner and the Pittsburgh Symphony.
