Grade: 3.5 Lest We Forget (A Fantasia on
Civil War Songs of the North and South) Text: Lincoln's
Second Inaugural Address (1865) Music by Elliot
Del Borgo
This extensive
work is powerful and emotionally riveting. Slight variations of Civil
War songs are recognizable while providing new material to keep the
performer and listener engaged in the music. The piece changes style
and tempo several times, ending with a very sensitive underscoring as
a narrator recites Lincoln's second inaugural address before a heroic ending. Comment
on this piece.
