Commissioned to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the title refers to the "tears" of oil that continue to be shed daily by the sunken USS Arizona. After a solemn opening, the "pride of Arizona" section moves past the tears and to the pride of the crew members and the feeling of the "spirit of aloha." Percussion loosely imitates the groove of a luau yet is juxtaposed with moments of pause and reflection. The final statement feels incomplete, reminding the audience that the tears have not stopped flowing. Magical!
