Review:      From Joel Raney, here is a magnificent prelude for piano/organ duet, with SATB choir entering at the conclusion for an optional choral introit. This patriotic montage is packed with memorable heart-tugging emotion, and includes the tunes, “Battle Hymn,” “God of Our Fathers,” and “My Country ’Tis of Thee.” An optional 2nd piano part embellishes this grand patriotic presentation elevating it to even greater heights. Both keyboard parts and a reproducible page of the text for the choir are included. Optional parts include: 3-6 octave handbells with optional 3-5 octave handchimes, 2nd piano, B-flat trumpet and percussion (timpani: B-flat & C, suspended cymbal, wind chimes & snare drum).
