£82.50The Forge of Freedom - Travis J. Weller
George Washington and the Continental Armys withdrawal from Philadelphia to Valley Forge was one of the darkest chapters of the Revolutionary War. The demoralized mood of the troops is conveyed by the Revolutionary-era hymn Chester in a minor setting. A tempo change ushers in a new spirit as the Continental Army perseveres through the harsh winter and becomes a hardened fighting force. Finally, Chester is triumphantly presented in a major key as the now-formidable army emerges, ready to take up the fight and secure Americas independence.

£82.50The Quest for Victory - Mark Lortz
An exuberant tribute piece that exhibits an unyielding energy and a vibrant spirit. After an impressive opening fanfare, the piece quickly transitions to a musically lyric section of contrasting repose. The energy returns with angular and strident brass and percussion statements over woodwind ostinatos. A soaring climax ensues as the opening fanfare returns for a spectacular finish.
