Description:
Composed as a tribute to generations of American servicemen and women buried at Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D. C. , this powerful and emotional work is a fitting addition to any memorial occasion or concert. Offstage trumpets announce the opening theme following by reverent strains and a solemn statement of My Country, 'Tis of Thee. The piece develops and builds gradually, reaching a heroic climax with the familiar hymn Godof Our Fathers before returning to a quiet and reflective mood as the offstage trumpets return. Dur: 7:30
