The Battle Cry of Freedom (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Root, George Frederick - Bocook, Jay

From the opening sound of field drums and distant muted trumpets this well-crafted arrangement takes this familiar Civil War anthem through a variety of moods and styles. Building to a dramatic full ensemble climax, it then very effectively tapers to quiet ending. This is a wonderful way to celebrate the era of Lincoln and his 200th birthday in 2009.Duration: 2.15
