Spirit of America, the award-winning band from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, presents Call to Freedom: The Music of a Great Nation. Featuring works by American composers, from John Philip Sousa to Charles Ives, this CD is a musical tribute to the nation’s freedom keepers. Call to Freedom celebrates the breadth of American history and character, from the victories of war expressed in Morton Gould’s American Salute, to the vivid, moving tone poem Heroes Lost and Fallen inspired by the tragic emotions of war as a tribute to all who gave their lives in Vietnam, to spirited renditions of the Armed Forces marches, to heartfelt patriotism in Carmen Dragon’s America the Beautiful.
