Freedom City - King

Each and every King work can best be described as history made! As a result, many musicians throughout the world have greatly benefited by performing one of several pieces from his long list of successful marches. Tuneful melodies, clever counter-melodies, and interesting percussion parts remain a hallmark of the King library. This outstanding march is another gem created by the magical pen of Karl L. King!

Freedom Defended - Rossano Galante

Inspired by the non-violent civil rights protest of February 1, 1960 against a segregated lunch counter in Greensboro, NC, Freedom Defended strives to encapsulate the story of this now historic event. Commissioned by the band directors of the North Carolina Central District and East Central District Bandmasters Associations, this four movement piece honors each of the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University students known as the "Greensboro Four", Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair Jr., and David Richmond. Their actions directly led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which mandated desegregation in public spaces. Movement 1 (Da Sogno) - The opening thematic material is dream-like and idyllic as the "Greensboro Four" enter the Woolworth Store at 132 South Elm Street and peacefully sit at the lunch counter and order coffee. Movement 2 (Con Fuoco) - The piece takes a dark turn when they are refused service and are told "We don't serve Negros here". The music is somewhat dissonant and rhythmic but a heroic theme captures the tenacity and courage of these brave young men. Movement 3 (Molto Cantabile) - A plaintiff theme portrays the hopelessness the four freshmen faced as they continued to be refused service until they leave when the store closed that night. Movement 4 (Con Spirito) - Undeterred, the "Greensboro Four" returned the next day, this time joined by more than twenty other black students. While they were again refused service, the sitins began to attract media attention and each day more and more students, both black and white, joined the cause. By February 4th, over 300 students staged sit-ins not only at the Woolworth Store but also the lunch counter at Greensboro's S. H. Kress & Co. The music is rejoicing and uplifting, similar to the opening statement, but now fully orchestrated and more fully developed. Coda - a quiet theme based on the motives from the opening thematic material brings the work to a reflective close as we remember these four men who, in the face of adversity, stood up for equality for all men and women.

Freedom Flight - Huckeby

Commissioned by the El Dorado, Kansas Municipal Band to commemorate its centennial concert season, this dramatic concert fanfare is a magnificent show-stopper! The bold interplay between brass, woodwinds and percussion provides each section a leading role in this incredibly heroic and energetic work, making it an important and highly effective addition to concert band repertoire, especially as a concert opener or closer. This masterful work by Ed Huckeby is destined to become a standard which will endure the test of time! Brilliant!

Freedom Forever - Günther Fiala

The fanfare-like piece Freedom Forever deals with the chances and possibilities that arise with freedom and is uses two famous quotes from the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and from Jean-Jacques Rousseau as a basic idea. The piece alters two themes in different styles representing the different faces of freedom as such. A fantastic and reflective opener or closing piece for your concerts!

Freedom Forever - Larry Neeck

Dedicated to the "citizen soldiers" of our country, the men and women of the National Guard and Armed Forces Reserves. Featuring a contemporary style that balances the percussive and energetic aspects of a march with a contrasting lyrical style, this stately march is propelled by an active snare drum part and the use of dotted-eighth-note/sixteenth-note rhythms in the melody. Very unique and distinctive!
