Program Notes
A one movement work that combines elements of the national anthems of both the United States and the Republic of Iraq, Anthem invites the listener to contemplate the ramifications of conflict and the meaning of war. A setting of the Iraqi national anthem, entitled "My Homeland," is combined with fragments of "The Star-Spangled Banner" in addition to an original ballad-like theme to create a meaningful and heartfelt new masterpiece for the wind band!
