Program Notes

Hosts of Freedom was clearly designed to meet the needs of less experience players while offering them engaging melodies, bright counter-melodies, and interesting parts for all of the performers. More mature bands will enjoy these same benefits and may take the march at a brighter tempo than the 132 beats per minutes shown in the score.

In editing this piece for modern bands I have retained King's original material in virtually unaltered form. Only in addition to preparing it for concert size printing were new parts for 3rd Bb clarinet and 2nd Alto Saxophone produced. New optional parts for Contrabass Clarinets, String Bass and Timpani are also included.
