Comprised of two main themes  Liberty strives to capture the essence of Americana. The first of the two themes is stated by a trumpet duet  then later the full ensemble. The second theme is robust and emotionally dynamic and accompanied by a driving  rhythmic pulse. The arc of the piece returns to the first theme  this time more transparent  and ending on a gentle  quiet note. A rewarding work for winds with plenty of variety and depth. Dur: 5:15 (Recorded by the West Genesee (NY) High School Wind Ensemble  Andrew Perry  conductor) (G. Schirmer  Inc.)
