With the same flavor as “Legacy of Valor” for double brass quintet, this wordless instrumental tribute to America’s military heroes is a poignant gesture of gratitude to all who have kept this great nation safe and free throughout its history.
This work follows the form of most popular genres: intro-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-out. It was completed in time for Veterans Day 2023, but works well for any patriotic holiday or concert, particularly when preceding a rendition of the Armed Forces songs.
