Description:

THOSE WHO SERVE will be given to as many conductors who will download and print the Music. Other free downloads include JEFFERSON'S VISION and STAR!

Beginning with USA stated in a rhythmically energized Morse Code, the piece quotes each of the military themes juxtapositioned against each other and the Star Spangled Banner. THOSE WHO SERVE may serve you for concert and/or parade situations where a tribute to ANY branch of the military is in order. This tribute is composed and scored in such a way as to lend itself to a variety of useful purposes.

THOSE WHO SERVE is free with A Wish to the World, a series of pieces written to inspire the next generation of Heroes. These pieces can be played as a suite across the Music Program in the manner of THE FOUNTAINHEAD and STORMQUEST, or they can be rendered individually.

A Wish to the World is commissioned by Barry Wentz and the Alpena High School Symphonic Wind Ensemble with Ray Reynolds, Director of the Thunder Bay JHS Band, and Keith Hodsgon & The South Jersey Area Wind Ensemble, Mr. Larry White & The Rancho Buena Vista Wind Ensemble in California, Mr. Paul Holzen & the Parkway Northeast Middle School, and the Kentucky Music Educators Association.

This piece is from the STORMJOURNEYS CD.
