SKU: CL.CTS-7809-00

Arranged by Claude T. Smith. Concert Band. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR669). Score and set of parts. Composed 1982. Claude T. Smith Publications #CTS-7809-00. Published by Claude T. Smith Publications (CL.CTS-7809-00).

A stirring masterpiece which begins with an imaginative introduction using fragments of the theme. As the work develops, the tonality also changes between major and minor keys evolving into the next section, using the familiar Civil War melody "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." An off-stage cadenza follows with muffled drums and muted trumpets. The triumphant finale is sparked by a modulation accompanied by a strident rhythmic background. This is a grand concert finale especially fitting for patriotic events.
