Symphonic Requiem - James Barnes

Commissioned for the United States Army Band to commemmorate the 150th anniversary of the America Civil War, the work combines two massive structures into one: a requiem and a symphony. It portrays the heartbreak of three of the most dramatic battles of the war, concluded by an apotheosis, a hymn of respect and praise for the 668,000 soldiers, Confederate and Federal alike, who gave their lives during this monumental conflict. Dur: 28:00
