Programme Note
From the opening "Indian Prelude" to the closing hymn "Glory, Hallelujah," Knight has compiled a compendium of favorite American themes lushly orchestrated and with contrasting tempi and textures that illustrate to young audiences the value of effective musical transitions. The composer's rich score is also ideal for programming patriotic themes with both festive and reflective musical moods in ample supply.
