Apparently the US Secretary of the Navy under Gerald Ford was also a composer. What does /mu/ think of his work?

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/us/politics/j-william-middendorf-ii-dead.html

>J. William Middendorf II, a Republican fund-raiser who was President Gerald R. Ford’s secretary of the Navy and later a frequently appointed ambassador known for composing classical music works that struck a diplomatic tone, died on Friday in Fall River, Mass. He was 101.

>In his international travels and diplomatic assignments, he acquired a reputation as a composer of classical music, including an opera, “King Richard,” and of military marches. One of his eight symphonies, “The Holland,” was written while he was the envoy to the Netherlands; it was presented to Queen Juliana to mark her 25th anniversary on the throne and was performed on Dutch national television.
