Letters from the Battlefield

This evocative work derives its inspiration from the collected letters of General Ulysses S. Grant written during the Civil War. They reveal a wealth of information about the feelings he experienced during this great conflict, and the music reflects this wide gamut of emotions. From warm and tenderhearted to somber and melancholy, and ultimately triumphant, the music rings out with all the weight and resonance of his written words. An outstanding concert work that's perfect for Civil War commemorations or patriotic events.
