This gripping
programmatic work depicts the historic Battle of Tripoli. A
mysterious opening foreshadows the impending conflict as American
ships set sail for war. Tension builds as Marines cross the Libyan
Desert and courageously storm the fortified pirate city of Derna. The Marine's
Hymn announces the adrenaline-rushing assault complete with an
aleatoric aerial bombardment. This innovative work is likely to be
the most memorable portion of your concert or festival performance. Riveting! Comment
