Americana Us Coast Guard Band, Buckley, Cronkite, Ushapovsky, Thomas, Frenkel, Lyman, Sherwood, Hasty, Wirt

The American optimistic spirit is captured in the sweeping melodies and triumphant sonorities of composer James Beckel's "American Dream." American patriotism shines through in American March King, John Philip Sousa's, "The Washington Post," one of his most famous marches written in 1889 and became popular as a dance tune. Walter Cronkite guest appears as narrator for "A Lincoln Portrait." (Altissimo)
