by Teresa Jennings

Over the years, Teresa has written many unique patriotic works, and this one stands as one of the most dramatic. The musical contrasts and powerful ending have helped produce inspirational moments for thousands of young choirs and audiences over the years, so we are proud to offer this song in this popular format.

This song grows from a unison opening to a moving "3-part mixed" voicing later in the piece, but it is arranged to also work quite well when sung in unison, making it ideal as a performance closer that combines various grades. Be sure to hear the excerpt below. It is richly orchestrated and recorded with top professional musicians, just what you would expect from all Plank Road Publishing products. (from Music K-8, Vol. 8, No. 5)
