Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet - Digital Download SKU: A0.924846 Composed by Stanley M. Hoffman. 20th Century,Contemporary,Folk,Patriotic. 1 pages. Stanleymhoffman.com #3913603. Published by stanleymhoffman.com (A0.924846). Composed for and chosen for performance by the West Point Woodwind Quintet as part of a call for scores for Vox Novus' 15 Minutes of Fame series, the composer chose the tune Battle Cry of Freedom by George Root as the basis for this composition because, not only is it of the Civil War era (the theme for the call for scores), but it is also included in the song They Are There by Charles Ives, to whom the composer pays homage with an alternative ending. A fun miniature addition to any wind quintet recital or concert. .
