Inspired by the
rich history of Point Lookout State Park in Maryland, this fantasy on
civil war songs pays tribute to the remnants of Fort Lincoln, which
served as a Civil War fortification. Songs used in the fantasy
include The Battle Cry of Freedom, Battle Hymn of the Republic,
and When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again. The piece is tied
together with excerpts from America, the Beautiful, which
comes in fully toward the end of the work. Magical! Comment
on this piece. |
