Program Notes

Composed for the Shady Grove Christian Academy Concert Band, Grand Prairie, Texas.

- Program Note from score

This work contains the same style and excitement of David Holsinger's other works. The work depicts that time in Biblical history when almost 350,000 men came together, armed for battle, determined to make David king over all Israel, eventually making the first ill-fated attempt at bringing the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem. (I Chronicles 12:23-38.)
