Program Notes
Immediately appealing, Sing We Liberty is a stirring tribute to the early years of our country, with quotes of familiar patriotic tunes in a symphonic setting. A bright opening fanfare quickly moves into a tuneful 6/8 melody followed by several contrasting sections, each transitioning very nicely. Skillfully scored, performers and audiences alike will enjoy this well-written look into our country's past.
