Angel of the Battlefield Concert Band - Sheet Music
Clara Barton was the founder of the American Red Cross and a pioneer nurse. Her dedication to the victims of war and natural disasters continued after the Civil War ended in 1865. I considered her life and composed the song as if it were film music. At the beginning of the piece, woodwinds play Clara's theme, expressing her tenderness and warm heartedness. Eventually, the tempo increases, reflecting war, and Clara's theme appears showing her struggles. The tempo slows again to consider Clara's dreams and hopes, and the ternary measures express "moving forward" and greater intensity as the thoughts overflow from within Clara, one after another. In the latter half of the piece, the percussion doubles the rhythm while the winds play Clara's theme again, speaking poignantly to us as the conclusion approaches. (Masanori Taruya)
