Jay Bocook: As All The Heavens Were a Bell: Concert Band: Score Parts & AudioCommissioned as a tribute to the Fire Department of New York City this immensely moving work was premiered at an emotional performance for the firefighters in Manhattan this past March. The composition opens with a striking brassfanfare accompanied by woodwind flourishes. A sensitive treatment of the melody from America (My Country 'Tis Of Thee) follows using haunting vocal colors (cued in F Horns). The nation in turmoil is depicted in an intenselydriving and powerful section which evolves marvelously into a full-blown treatment of America with chorus and band. A truly magnificent musical tribute to the heroes of 9/11.
