Further Details Title: Call to Freedom: The Music of a Great Nation Condition: New Description: EDITORIAL REVIEWS Spirit of America, the award-winning band from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is proud to present Call to Freedom: The Music of a Great Nation. Featuring works by American composers, from John Philip Sousa to Charles Ives, this CD is a musical tribute to the nation's freedom keepers, and a reminder of the privileges of freedom we enjoy. This collection of patriotic music reflects the gamut of American history and character - from the victories in times of war expressed in Morton Gould's American Salute, to the light-hearted victories of the baseball diamond captured by John Philip Sousa in The National Game. Listeners will thrill to spirited renditions of the Armed Forces marches, and to visions of splendor in Carmen Dragon's America the Beautiful. On the more serious side, the program also includes God of Our Fathers arranged by Claude T. Smith, and Heroes Lost and Fallen by David Gillingham. Spirit of America closes with the beloved march Stars and Stripes Forever, by John Philip Sousa REVIEW ''Listening to this, I was made aware of how great this music is...I enjoyed every moment of this recording, and the superb Ray Cramer is as sterling a choice for maestroship as anyone I can think of. And engineer Steve Colby has done a great job in capturing the sound of this ensemble, bright, yet warm when needed, and nicely attuned to the glories of a fullout wind band. All should be congratulated on a superior job, and I hope there will be more to come in the years that follow.'' --Steven Ritter, Audiophile Audition Format: CD Genre: Classical Artist: Spirit of America Band No Of Discs: 1 Country/Region of Manufacture: USA Record Label: Paraclete Recordings EAN: 0709887100123 Edition: Album Release Date: 06/01/2018 Performer Orchestra: Spirit of America Band Style: Orchestral MPN: SOA01 Release Year: 2018 Missing Information?
