Product Description
Americas history is littered with chaotic events, be it school shootings, the attack on the capital, pandemics, 9/11, wars, assassinations, and horrific events yet to come. Through it all, we can feel secure knowing America has, and will, survive. This composition depicts this spirit. It opens with an unusual 4/4 setting of the beginning of America. This is followed by original material that depicts our normal, happy freedom. Suddenly it changes to an aleatoric section representative of a horrific event. Following is a hint of Amazing Grace to remember the suffering. As always happens, life returns to normal. Closing is a 4/4 treatment of the final phrase of America, with a hint of the Star Spangled Banner. This is an excellent teaching piece for younger bands, as well as a patriotic reminder of Americas strength sure to be an audience favorite.
