A wonderful portrait of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. The words ‘Now he belongs to the ages,’ spoken at the death of Abraham Lincoln, is the basis for this musical tribute. Bold with beautiful wistful melodies, fragments of Battle Hymn of the Republic and Dixie, and dramatic percussion scoring make this an inspired and memorable achievement.
