General Description of This Show
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. | |
