Review:
Valerie has crafted a thoughtful and exciting arrangement of the traditional American Civil War song through the use of innovative techniques, varying tempi, and careful harmonizations. This can be a real show stopper for your individual group's concert or in a massed ringing situation. The intentional cross relationship between the Db6 and D5 natural represent the two sides of battle. All of this builds to a forte before quieting back down for the entrance of the well known tune. Measures total 139.
