Various - David Maslanka, Aaron Perrine, Kevin Walczyk: Freedom from Fear

Contemporary American music for wind band continues to offer a rich combination of colour and variety. David Maslanka was one of the most prolific and admired of all wind band composers, and in Liberation he utilises plainchant in a moving exploration of death, the afterlife and the continuance of hope. Inspired by Walt Whitman, Aaron Perrine�s In the Open Air, In the Silent Lines creates a rich sense of space, while Kevin Walczyk�s moving Symphony No. 5: Freedom from Fear � Images from the Shoreline is unified by its themes of adoption, segregation and immigration.
