Although the title might suggest it, this is not a typical
patriotic show. It gets its inspiration from the colors portrayed in
America the Beautiful, not the American flag as one might think. Each
movement takes a part of the melody that describes something with
color, and bases its thematic material on that motive. For example,
the first movement is based on the notes in "amber waves of grain" and
should visually portray the color - amber. The second is "purple
mountain majesty", and the third is "sea to shining sea". The music
itself does not carry the typical patriotic sound, rather, it tries to
deal honestly and openly with both the triumphant and the troublesome
aspects of America and its history.
